On behalf of the Members and Board of Directors of Clean Climate and Environment Campaign Initiative (CAC/IT/79888), a non-profit organization based in ikorodu, Lagos State, Nigeria. Promoting environmental protection and public awareness through advocacy, etc.

However, due to the urgent global crisis ‘COVID-19 pandemic’, our organization has swiftly make adjustment to respond to the crisis, accommodate the different and additional needs to combat this threat, while coping with restrictions on travel, lockdown requirement and health concerns.

Humanity across the global is facing an unrepresented health challenge. What started as a small health problem with less general concern has now metamorphous to the extent of bringing to a halt work, education, business, and the global economy affecting communities, families, individuals, institutions, government, etc.

As COSs defending civil society, democratic rights, and our fundamental freedoms can be difficulty, let alone having to do it while under ‘lockdown’ practicing social distance in the midst of global health crisis spreading fast across the global.

In time like these, solidarity and social compassion play the most important role. CCAECI is ready to help connect and inform the coalition and civil society during this time, CCAECI will be collecting information, resources, and support to share. Why? Because, COVID-19 is dominating and we want to contribute to win the battle over the coronavirus. And we want to support doctors and nurses to stay safe, give humanitarian support, and save the lives of the ill etc.

In the midst of the ongoing health crisis, as stakeholders, CCAECI urgently need your brightest ideas, your networks and power to bring people together. To help us innovate our way through the challenge. Never have we been so in need of cross-sector collaboration, harnessing our respective areas of expertise and capacities across the private sector, government, and civil society etc.

CCAECI Forum’s COVID-19 Action Platform provides us with this opportunity for collaboration and a rapid mobilization and sharing of innovative ideas and identification of creative solutions against COVID-19. It is important for us and essential that stakeholders like you are not overlooked in the rush to address pressing health and economic issues closer to us.
