What We Do

The department carries out a broad range of initiatives designed to uplift the social and economic wellbeing of our people. We provide women empowerment programs that offer skills acquisition training, mentorship, and leadership development opportunities for women and girls across the community. Our poverty alleviation efforts include vocational training and support for small-scale entrepreneurship to help residents build sustainable sources of income.

We also engage in advocacy and public awareness campaigns that address issues affecting women and vulnerable populations, such as health, education, and social welfare. In addition, we drive community development initiatives in partnership with government agencies, NGOs, and local organizations to expand access to essential services and create an environment where every resident can thrive.

Empowering women and reducing poverty are vital to fostering inclusive growth and sustainable development. Through our work, we strive to break the cycle of poverty, lessen inequality, and ensure that every member of the Itire-Ikate LCDA community can live a productive and fulfilling life.

Join us in building a stronger, more equitable, and prosperous Itire-Ikate community where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
