Held at the Lekki Conservation Centre, this program aimed to strengthen the NCF team’s capacity to capture, analyze, and report data-driven stories that highlight conservation impact effectively.

The training provided an immersive experience, covering critical areas like targeted communication for diverse stakeholders, and practical skills in smartphone photography and video editing.

Nora Agbakhamen, Co-founder of Pulse Narrative Media, expressed her commitment saying “Our goal is to help organizations like NCF communicate their impact in ways that resonate. By using the Iko Esai Conservation Project as a real-time example, we equipped participants with actionable skills they can apply immediately.”

Dr. Joseph Onoja, Director-General of NCF, applauded the training’s immediate impact, stating, “One thing I like about the training is its practicality. You could see the immediate effect. This is not a training you do, and it takes time before you begin to see the effect on the trainees; everything was hands-on, and you can see what the different groups produced at the end of two days.”

NCF’s Director of Business Development and Communication, Uchenna Achunine, highlighted the significance of the training this “This program has given our team the tools to amplify our projects and articulate our impact more effectively. Pulse Narrative Media tailored this experience precisely to our needs, and we’re already seeing its relevance to our ongoing efforts.”

Olaide Alli, Head of Finance at NCF, echoed the sentiments of his colleagues: “The training was highly interactive and relatable across various teams. I’ve gained invaluable skills to communicate effectively with our stakeholders, which will not only benefit NCF but also enhance my ability to communicate impact in any capacity.”

Other faculty members also included support from Emmanuel Ejewule, a Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) specialist, and James Otihi, a media professional with DoughGee Studios.
