ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH
Environment Research & Governance encompasses a broad range of regulations, principles and standards of good practice that exist to achieve, and continuously improve, research quality across all areas of research. It includes areas such as research ethics, research integrity and research data sharing management.
HOW WE WORK
Environmental Research Plan
The Environmental Research plan mission is to improve the environment and enhance the quality of life for rural dwellers throughout Nigeria by building community capacity to assess and resolve environmental problems, achieving measurable and sustainable improvements in all the communities where we work, by restoring and revitalizing neighborhoods for rural communities.
About the Environmental Research Plan
The environmental conditions in rural areas throughout Nigeria expose residents to significant public health hazards every day from toxics, heavy metals, poor ambient and indoor air quality. These conditions create cumulative, disproportionate and inequitable health risks to the rural dweller, especially high risk populations such as children and the elderly.
Our Research Methodology
Our Environmental Research Program is dedicated to specifically addressing the magnitude and complexity of rural environmental challenges in a way that engages, informs, and responds to local resident needs. GCCYF takes an active role in listening to community needs and concerns, identifying projects, and providing resources to implement projects that make measurable improvements in public health and the quality of the environment. GCCYF work with external partners to identify the most critical issues to target resources, and the priority will reflect community need and will likely vary between states.
