The Gombe State AGILE (Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment) Project has officially commenced its Training of Trainers under the Life Skills Component, marking a significant step toward the effective implementation of the initiative aimed at empowering young girls across the state.
The five-day training, organized by the Guidance and Counselling Development Association in partnership with the Gombe State AGILE Project, kicked off at the Federal College of Education (Technical), Gombe with the participation of key stakeholders and representatives from various institutions.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, the Gombe State AGILE Project Coordinator, Dr. Amina Haruna Abdul, represented by the **Deputy Project Coordinator, Aishatu Sambo, reaffirmed the project’s commitment to achieving its objectives. She emphasized that life skills development is a critical aspect of the AGILE initiative, stressing the importance of laying a solid foundation for its successful and systematic execution.
“Life skills are essential for shaping the future of adolescent girls in Gombe State. We are committed to ensuring the proper implementation of this component in line with the overall goals of AGILE,” said Dr. Amina.
Also speaking at the event, the **World Bank National Team Lead, Mrs. Dorcas Kadangs Yakubu , praised the state’s effort and pace in establishing a strong foundation for the project. She urged the facilitators and organizers to strictly adhere to the World Bank’s project objectives and operational guidelines, warning against any deviations, as the Bank maintains a zero-tolerance policy on project mismanagement.
The State Component Lead on Life Skills, Walida Maryam Muhammad, highlighted the purpose of the training, noting that it was designed to equip master trainers with basic and practical knowledge on life skills. The trained participants will, in turn, train teachers in public schools across the state to cascade the knowledge to adolescent girls.
Participants in the training were drawn from tertiary institutions, faith-based organizations, and guidance and counseling bodies across Gombe State.
Throughout the training sessions, presentations were delivered on critical areas such as Life Skills Development, Gender-Based Violence (GBV), and Safe Space Demonstrations, which are essential components of the life skills curriculum.
The training is expected to significantly enhance the capacity of educators and mentors to support and empower adolescent girls in Gombe State through quality life skills education.
