We grow by lifting others. Always thankful Mahmud Mohammed-Nurudeen

Our Executive Director, Engr. Mahmud Mohammed-Nurudeen Winna'amzua represented the Centre for Climate Change and Food Security (CCCFS) at the Global Expert Consultation on High-Value Actions in Climate Change and Health, hosted by the Heidelberg Institute of Global Health at the University of Heidelberg — Germany’s oldest university and one of the world’s leading research institutions.

The consultation brought together experts from 25 countries, along with development partners such as The World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, and German Development Bank (KfW), as well as top universities and global health institutes.

The meeting focused on identifying key actions and strategies to help countries address the growing health impacts of climate change. Participants reached consensus on several critical areas, including health sector adaptation priorities, climate action in other sectors that provide health benefits, mitigation measures within the health sector, and costing and prioritization approaches for national planning.

CCCFS’s participation highlights the Centre’s strong commitment to research, advocacy, and policy engagement at both national and international levels. The Centre continues to play a vital role in linking climate change, food systems, and public health through evidence-based communication and development-focused journalism.

Beyond research and advocacy in areas such as supporting smallholder farmers to adapt to changing rainfall and drought, promoting food security and nutrition education in rural areas, organizing training for youth and students on climate change, promoting renewable energy and clean cooking, and holding policy talks and community forums on sustainable land use, CCCFS runs several non-profit journalism initiatives, including:

WAJESHA (West African Journalists for Environment, Science, Health & Agriculture) — which supports journalists across West Africa to report on ESHA issues affecting local communities.

GJESHA (Ghana Journalists for Environment, Science, Health & Agriculture) — a national platform that trains Ghanaian journalists to produce solution-driven stories on climate change, food security, environment, agric, science, technology and public health.

Through these projects, CCCFS is building a new generation of journalists who use storytelling to inspire climate action, empower communities, and hold institutions accountable for environmental stewardship.

The Centre also supports rural resilience projects, food security education, renewable energy advocacy, and youth climate leadership programs across Ghana.

By combining research, communication, and community action, CCCFS continues to drive impactful solutions for a sustainable and healthy future.

"Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe is a seminal novel that tells the story of Okonkwo, a powerful and complex Igbo man living in the late 19th century in what is now Nigeria. The novel is a masterful exploration of the human condition, delving into themes of identity, culture, colonialism, and the fragility of human relationships.

The story begins with Okonkwo's triumph as a young wrestler, which earns him great respect and admiration from his community. However, Okonkwo's life is also marked by tragedy and struggle. He is haunted by the memory of his father, who was a lazy and debt-ridden man, and Okonkwo is determined to avoid his father's mistakes.

As the novel progresses, Okonkwo's world is disrupted by the arrival of British colonialists, who bring with them new laws, customs, and values that are in direct conflict with the traditional Igbo way of life. Okonkwo's struggles to adapt to these changes are exacerbated by his own personal demons, including his quick temper and his complicated relationships with his family members.

One of the most significant conflicts in the novel arises when Okonkwo's daughter, Ezinma, falls ill, and Okonkwo is forced to confront the limitations of his traditional worldview. Meanwhile, Okonkwo's son, Nwoye, begins to question his father's values and traditions, leading to a deepening rift between them.

Throughout the novel, Achebe masterfully weaves together the complexities of Igbo culture and tradition, revealing the richness and depth of African society. At the same time, he critiques the destructive impact of colonialism on indigenous cultures and societies.
The novel's title, "Things Fall Apart," is a reference to the William Butler Yeats poem "The Second Coming," which speaks to the disintegration of social order and the collapse of traditional values. Achebe's novel is a powerful exploration of this theme, as Okonkwo's world is torn apart by the forces of colonialism and modernity.
