The communities in which the NCCE embarked on the education included the Kumbungu, Nwogu, Zangbalin, Mbanaayili and the Dalun township.

The Commission also sensitized artisans, Tailors and dressmakers, Market women, butchers, Shop owners, hairdressers and farmers in Kumbungu and surrounding communities.
