Edo State Flood, Erosion, And Watershed Management Agency

Edo FEWMA is a successor agency established to ensure the long-term viability of the Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP), a ten-year multi-sectorial and multi-skilled program that targets States with eroded land.

Our Vision

Edo state will become a regional reference point for quality healthcare delivery, and the desired destination for innovation, education and research in healthcare.

Our Mission

Working in motivated, goal-oriented teams in collaboration with other government sectors, the private sector, non-governmental organizations and other partners, to improve health.

Mandate

To reduce the susceptibility of soil erosion in selected sub-watersheds through an integrated approach aimed at reducing poverty, preserving healthy ecosystems, improving disaster risk management, mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Overview

Prior to the intervention of NEWMAP, Edo State endured significant flooding and gully erosion problems, claiming the lives and properties of a number of communities in the State.

This environmental issue harmed the State’s socioeconomic activity and remained a major cause of concern for subsequent administrations in the State. The intervention of the NEWMAP project provided an excellent opportunity for the Edo State government to form an agency to sustain the gains of intervention in degraded regions and assure continuity in addressing flood and erosion challenges in the State at the conclusion of the project in June 2022.
