Kaduna Launches Drive to Immunize 4.2 Million Children

The Kaduna State Primary Health Care Board has begun an integrated measles and rubella vaccination campaign aimed at protecting over 4.2 million children across the state. The exercise, which started on Saturday, covers all 23 local government areas and targets children aged between nine months and 14 years. It is supported by UNICEF, the World Health Organisation (WHO), and other development partners. Speaking at the launch, Dr. Hamza Ibrahim, Director of Disease Control and Immunisation, said the campaign will help reduce the number of “zero-dose” children — those who have never received any vaccination. Kaduna State, he noted, accounts for around 10 percent of the 100 local government areas in Nigeria facing this challenge, with over 4,000 unvaccinated children identified. “Our progress has been made possible through the dedication of community women and the support of our partners,” Ibrahim said.

Togo : le budget 2026 mettra l’accent sur les enfants

Le Togo, avec l’appui de l’UNICEF, veut rendre sa politique budgétaire plus attentive aux besoins des enfants. Depuis le début de la semaine, parlementaires et cadres ministériels suivent une formation sur les finances publiques sensibles à l’enfance. L’objectif est clair : mieux planifier et orienter les dépenses publiques dans les domaines clés pour les enfants, comme l’éducation, la santé, la protection et la nutrition. Cette approche cherche à mesurer l’impact concret des investissements sur le bien-être des enfants, tout en améliorant l’efficacité dans l’utilisation des ressources publiques. Dans un contexte de moyens limités, le gouvernement veut garantir une répartition équitable des fonds, notamment pour les enfants les plus vulnérables. Cette initiative s’inscrit dans la continuité des réformes budgétaires engagées pour plus de transparence, de redevabilité et d’efficacité dans les dépenses sociales. La démarche favorise aussi un dialogue renforcé entre le […]

UN: Nigeria Lost $10bn to Northeast Conflict

A United Nations study has revealed that Nigeria lost an estimated $10 billion due to the decade-long conflict in the Northeast. The disclosure was made by the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) during the launch of a reintegration program in Maiduguri. The agency stated that the insurgency not only shrank the national economy but also crippled the income and earning potential of families and young people in the region. To address this, UNICEF has launched a program to support over 1,000 children affected by the conflict. The initiative provides vocational training in skills like tailoring, ICT, and carpentry, alongside psychosocial support. The program aims to restore "hope, dignity, and opportunity" to adolescents, helping them build sustainable livelihoods and contribute to the recovery and resilience of their communities.

UNICEF, Borno to Train 1,033 Conflict-Affected Children

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), in partnership with the Borno State Government, has launched a vocational training program for 1,033 children affected by the armed conflict in the Northeast. The initiative, launched in Maiduguri, aims to equip the children, including 466 girls, with practical skills to rebuild their lives. They will receive training in tailoring, ICT, car mechanics, shoemaking, and carpentry at centers across the state. A UNICEF representative stated that the prolonged insurgency has denied many children the chance to learn skills or pursue their dreams. The program is designed to restore "hope, dignity, and opportunity" by combining vocational training with life skills and psychosocial support. The Borno State Commissioner for Education commended UNICEF for the initiative, highlighting its importance for children who were previously abducted and forced into roles by insurgents.

L’eau, moteur du futur africain

En Afrique, les crises ne commencent pas toujours par la politique. Bien souvent, elles prennent racine dans l’eau : rare, polluée ou mal partagée. Sécheresses, inondations et conflits autour des ressources poussent des familles à l’exode, détruisent des récoltes et menacent la stabilité sociale. Quand l’eau échoue, c’est l’économie et la cohésion des sociétés qui s’effondrent. Cette vulnérabilité est structurelle : 95 % des terres agricoles africaines dépendent encore de la pluie. Selon le GIEC, la pression sur la sécurité hydrique ne fera qu’augmenter. L’eau doit donc devenir le cœur de la planification, des financements et des décisions politiques. Pourtant, près de la moitié des personnes dans le monde privées d’un accès de base à l’eau potable vivent en Afrique subsaharienne. L’eau n’est pas seulement un droit humain, elle est l’infrastructure essentielle du développement : elle conditionne l’agriculture, l’industrie et […]

COP30 : le Togo affine sa préparation avec ses partenaires

À deux mois de la 30ᵉ Conférence des Parties sur le climat (COP30), prévue du 10 au 21 novembre 2025 à Belém, au Brésil, le Togo intensifie ses préparatifs. Du 8 au 12 septembre, le ministre de l’Environnement, Foli-Bazi Katari, a conduit une série d’échanges avec six institutions partenaires : la FAO, l’OIM, l’UNICEF, l’OMS, le Programme alimentaire mondial (PAM) et l’ambassade d’Allemagne. Ces discussions ont porté sur les propositions que le Togo compte présenter à la COP30 ainsi que sur les stratégies de négociation pour maximiser les retombées en matière de protection de l’environnement. « On ne doit pas aller à la COP, encore moins en revenir, les mains vides », a déclaré le ministre. Les recommandations recueillies seront examinées par un comité interministériel, chargé d’élaborer un document-cadre. Ce dernier regroupera les priorités que le Togo défendra à Belém […]
