In its campaign against gender based violence, the Nigeria Early Recovery Initiative (NERI), a component of the United States Agency for International Development Office Transition Initiative (USAID/OTI), has partnered with the Salama Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) Kafanchan, Kaduna state.
Among other incentives, NERI has been providing financial and technical support to the centre in its advocacy and sensitisation campaign against sexual and gender based violence in Kafanchan and environs.
Briefing newsmen in Kafanchan weekend, program manager of NERI, Omokide Chikodi, said the agency realised the need to support survivors of gender based violence in the course of its work in Southern Kaduna.
“During the course of our intervention in Southern Kaduna in terms of the early warning and early response to crisis training, we identified the need to include this centre.
“We thought it wise to as much attend to survivors of sexual and gender based violence,” she said
Chikodi who was represented by NERI’s program officer, Adamu Garba, called on well meaning individuals and organisations to join the campaign to eradicate all forms of gender based violence.
She stated that NERI has been working to strengthen grassroot security and implement other developmental interventions in southern Kaduna since 2020.
