Operation Breast Density was founding in September 2022. We focus on breast density education and awareness as well as provide financial assistance to woman who need supplemental imaging to complete their annual breast cancer screening. 60% of women have dense breast tissue and breast density increases a woman risk of developing breast cancer significantly. In addition to this imaging dense breast tissue is challenging and a screening mammogram can miss a cancer diagnosis up to 50% of the time in women with dense breast. Our nonprofit focus educating clinicians on when supplemental imaging is needed for these when and what type of imaging is needed. We hold educations lectures for local physician practices as well as a ladies night learning session for the general public to ensure all women are knowledgeable about breast density and its risk. We hold biannual Breast cancer screening symposium and have already educated hundreds of clinicians in the local Detroit area. We have also financed supplemental imaging for 15 women in our community thus far.

Project Details
TIME FRAME: 2024 – 2027
GEOGRAPHICAL COVERAGE:

The coverage of the program will be demand-driven, based on consultations with the local and international marketers who are expected to procure these products on a competitive basis. Based on these consultations, NTFPs with the most market demand will be selected and the Program will operate in those communities where these selected products can be best commercialized.
BACKGROUND/DESCRIPTION:
Cross River Rainforest has been classified within one of the 25 biodiversity hot spots in the world. Nigeria has only about 10% of the original extent of her forest left and more than 50% of this remaining forest is found in Cross River State. More than 60% of Nigeria’s endangered plants and animal species are only found within these forests and nowhere else in Nigeria.
Forests are still being cut and cleared or used in ways that degrade them. This is largely due to poverty, greed and ignorance. Most people see forest as resources to be exploited. Following years of exploitation, the forests are no longer able to effectively perform their functions such as – provision of food, shelter, fuel wood and medicine needed for healthy living.
According to studies carried out by Donna M. Alexandra et al in close collaboration with Cross River state Forestry Department on Non-Timber Forest Products and their places in the state’ Cross Riverians are dependent on as many as 434 different species and 709 products which are to be found in the forest and derived eco-types in Cross River State.
Of this number of products and species, as many as 85% are sold regularly by rural householders and urban traders. Therefore, the biodiversity provides an actual source of income for many in the State…… Most are sold outside the State to places as far as Kano in Northern Nigeria and Ijebu Ode in South West Nigeria or as near as Ikot Ekpene a neighboring Akwa Ibom State. Those raw products which are exported nearby are more likely to be re-exported to the State in a more processed form. Examples of this include: Raphia products, Eremospatha macrocarpa (cane rope) and Laccosperma secundiflora, (thick rattan cane) Pandanus candelabrum, (Screw pine), Irvingia gabonensis (Bush Mango) and wooden artifacts made of Prerocarpus, Alstonia, XanthoXyloydes and Ricinodendron heudelotii. Thus, the 'value-added' is being lost to Cross Riverians.’
The report carried out a ranking of Non-Timber Forest Products in the State according frequency of use, trading and importance to rural household communities. The list has been shortened to 15 top NTFPs in Cross River State of Nigeria.

PURPOSE: to improve the resilience of vulnerable and marginalized communities (particularly women and youth) through increased incomes and strengthened environmental stewardship from the commercialization of non-timber forest products in the Local Government Areas(LGAs). This will contribute to achieving the following development Objective: Increased resilience of targeted vulnerable populations through:
• Livelihood opportunities and incomes expanded;
• Community coping capacity increased;
• Nutrition outcomes improved.
• The ability of communities to sustainably adapt, mitigate and recover from shocks and stressors strengthened;
• Youth productively contribute to the community’s development progress; and
• Good governance at all levels and across key sectors improved.

THE SPECIFIC PROGRAM OBJECTIVES ARE:

• Increased production and supply of non-timber forest products to meet domestic and international market demands;
• Increased investments by local, regional and international marketers in the communities and on infrastructure that will ensure supply of quality products that meet international standards; and
• Improved natural resource management and sustainable forest management practices that promote biodiversity and reduce human-wildlife conflict.

THE ILLUSTRATIVE PROGRAM INTERVENTIONS TO BE IMPLEMENTED INCLUDE:

• Capacity building of communities on good non-timber forest products production practices that will ensure increased production of quality products that meet international standards;
• Introduction and promotion of low-cost technologies that improve efficiency, reduce production costs and improve quality of products;
• Introduction of certification procedures that increase the value and acceptability of the products in local and international markets;
• Build capacity on good governance models for community groups to improve business accountability;
• Build capacity of communities on improved natural resources management practices that promotes biodiversity and reduces human wildlife conflicts;
• Increase community groups’ capacity to anticipate and respond to potential shocks and stresses;
• Support communities to identify and address potential or existing conflicts; and Promote consumption of diverse and nutrient dense diets for children and adults

PROGRAM GOAL

The goal of the program is to improve the resilience of vulnerable and marginalized
communities (particularly women and youth) through increased household incomes and
strengthened environmental stewardship from the commercialization of non-timber forest
products in selected communities in the vulnerable communities in The Tropical high forest zones and mangrove zones of the state where ntfps abound.
Therefore, If the capacity building of NTFP value chain actors significantly increases
commercialization of the products, and private sector investments in appropriate infrastructure
results in sustainable production and processing of quality products that meet the stringent
market requirements, and vulnerable communities are able to sustainably manage and have
equitable access to NTFP resources, then the resulting increased production, productivity and
premium prices will increase household income, improve household nutrition and resilience,
improve the sustainability of NTFPs, and contribute to environmental conservation.
The commercialization of the NTFP will enable vulnerable households to have alternative livelihoods to procure food for the households and purchase agricultural inputs such as seeds, calves, and fertilizers for the next cropping season.

Geographical Coverage: The coverage of the program will be demand-driven, based on
consultations with the local and international marketers who are expected to procure these
products on a competitive basis. Based on these consultations, NTFPs with the most market
demand will be selected and the Program will operate in those communities where these selected
products can be best commercialized.

Risks and assumptions critical to this program

Risks:
• Instability in the country following the run up to, during and after 2023 national
elections;
• Local regulations
• Unreliable supply of NTFPs due to low productivity caused by poor production practices,
and also, as a result of inefficient transportation and processing methods; and
• Over-exploitation of non-timber forest trees due to increased profits from the commercialization of NTFPs.
Assumptions:
• Commitment of the private sector to the implementation of the program;
• Availability and adaptability of low-cost technologies for production, harvesting,
processing, storage and transportation of NTFPs;
• Different non-timber forest products have different production cycles that would provide
sources of income throughout the year; and
• Increased afforestation and reforestation with non-timber forest trees to replace old trees
or increase the number of productive trees will prevent over-exploitation.

Program Objectives and Outcomes
Increased production and supply of non-timber forest products: The Program will engage with
local and international marketers to build the capacity of value chain actors who are members of
the vulnerable communities, including youth and women, to acquire skills and knowledge that
will enable them to increase production and productivity of and sustainably manage NTFPs. The
capacity building efforts will be through a market facilitation approach that will ensure the
sustainability of interventions and expand the reach of the Program. Processors, transporters, and
warehouse operators will also be enabled to acquire the skills and knowledge for the processing,
storage and transportation of products that meet international market requirements. The use of
low-cost technologies will also be promoted for adoption towards enabling the participation of
both women and youth. The Program will also promote improved nutrition through two nutrition
pathways of production for consumption and production for increased household income for
purchase of nutritious foods.
The outcome of the interventions will be increased production efficiency.
