CRUDAN

As part of ongoing conflict resolution and peace-building interventions, a community theatre and drama session was once again rolled out across the three project communities of Kpunyai, Chenchuk, and MiFi. This round featured a powerful, community-driven performance centered on the principles of amicable conflict resolution. Through captivating storytelling and emotionally charged scenes, the actors illustrated that genuine peace is achieved not through silence or aggression, but through open, honest, and respectful dialogue.

The drama brought to life familiar real-world situations where minor misunderstandings could have escalated into serious disputes, yet were peacefully resolved through patience, empathy, and mutual respect. The performance served as a strong reminder that community members possess the ability and responsibility to resolve conflicts constructively. By choosing to listen rather than react in anger, communities can build stronger, lasting bridges of understanding and unity.

The beauty of each intervention can only be documented through proper feedback and strategic engagement with the participants of the intervention. This week, our team has been carrying out Monitoring across 16 communities of Wurobokkie and Pariya wards of Fufore, where with the support of the Nigerian Humanitarian Fund (under the Aniticipatory Action Allocation), we provided Multipurpose Cash Assistance to vulnerable (flood prone) households.

Today, as our beloved nation, Nigeria, marks its 65th year of independence, the Christian Rural and Urban Development Association of Nigeria (CRUDAN) extends its warmest felicitations to all Nigerians at home and in the diaspora!

​65 years ago, we embarked on a journey of nationhood, rich with diverse cultures, resilient spirits, and an unyielding hope for a brighter future. While our journey has had its unique challenges, it has also been filled with incredible strength, unity, and progress in countless communities.

​At CRUDAN, we remain committed to empowering communities, fostering peace, and building sustainable development across Nigeria. We believe in the power of collective action, faith, and dedication to transform lives and strengthen our national fabric.

​Let us use this day to reflect on our journey, celebrate our unity in diversity, and renew our commitment to building a Nigeria where justice, peace, and prosperity reign for all.

​May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!

Activation Alert – Riverine Floods Nigeria⚠️

Oxfam and CRUDAN have activated the Anticipatory Action Plan for riverine floods developed under the Welthungerhilfe Anticipatory Humanitarian Action Facility (WAHAFA).

💶€161,300 will be released to enable the implementation of anticipatory actions aimed at reducing humanitarian impacts of 1,775 households in Imburu, Numan before peak flood levels are reached.

Why is this important?
Based on hydrological monitoring around Numan, the Numan Anticipatory Action Committee (founded under the WAHAFA project) reported persistently high-water levels, primarily influenced by the release of Kiri dam upstream and above average rainfall. Complementing these observations, GloFAS forecasts a heightened probability for water level discharge exceeding annual averages at the Benue River, underscoring the elevated risk of significant inundation.

Taken together, these indicators highlight the need to roll out the Anticipatory Action Plan to mitigate potential impacts on communities.

⏱️What will happen next?
• Coordination with all relevant stakeholders such as Nigerian Meteorological Agency, the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency and the Numan Anticipatory Action Committee, and other AA actors in the area.
• Mobilization and awareness raising on mitigating flood impacts
• Procurement and distribution of water treatment tablets/chlorine, and oral rehydration salts
• Desilting of drainages and distribution of rain boots, hand gloves, wheelbarrow, rake, protective jackets, nose masks
• Multipurpose cash assistance

📍Adamawa and Katsina

We have been actively working in the Northeast and Northwest regions, implementing an Anticipatory Humanitarian Action project in partnership with CRUDAN and Welthungerhilfe.

Recently, we concluded a series of capacity-sharing sessions with key stakeholders in Adamawa and Katsina states. These sessions focused on empowering local communities with the skills needed to establish Early Action Protocols for floods in Adamawa and drought in Katsina.

By enhancing preparedness and response, these protocols are vital for helping communities take proactive steps to reduce the impacts of these natural disasters.

With funding from the German Federal Foreign Office (GFFO), we are building resilience and working towards a safer, more secure future for everyone.
