Ekiti State Community and Social Development Agency - Principles and Practices
|
|
|
|
PREVIOUS EFFORTS
Communities through age grades, town unions/councils, development associations, social clubs, e.t.c have been actively involved in poverty reduction activities. Govt, NGOs, Donor Agencies/International Organizations have been active players in poverty reduction with huge annual budgets on projects and programmes such as OFN, NDE, DFFRI, ADP, FSP, NALDA, MAMSER, NOA, FEAP, PAP etc
WHY PREVIOUS INTERVENTIONS FAILED
- Poor Coordination
- Absence of comprehensive framework
- Ineffective targeting
- Lack of sustainability
EVOLUTION OF CSDP
- Effectiveness of CDD approach in earlier projects – CPRP, LEEMP, FADAMA, etc.
- Harmonisation of CDD based interventions (CDD Social, CDD Economic)
- CPRP & LEEMP to fuse into CDD Social hence CSDP.
- A scaled-up version of CPRP and LEEMP –
.Expanding to other States
.Extending to more LGAs (LEEMP)
.Partnership between Communities, LGAs and State Agencies
The fulcrum of operation of the new development paradigm shift is based on community driven-development (CDD) concept in design, implementation and evaluation. It is based on service delivery mechanisms that are demand-driven, multi-sectoral, bottom-up approach and purely participatory in planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. It is imperative to note that Community-Based Poverty Reduction Project (CPRP) one of the most successful projects in the World Bank shelf (2001-2009) metamorphosed to CSDP in the pilot states, Ekiti state inclusive. The World Bank Board of Directors approved $200Million to the Federal Government of Nigeria for the implementation of CSDP on July 1, 2008 in Washington DC. Financing agreement was signed by the FGN and World Bank on 24th November, 2008 for $200m. Subsidiary Agreement was signed by FGN and Ekiti State Government on 1st April, 2009 for $5m. The project lifespan is Five Years (2009-2013).
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
- To sustainably increase access of poor people to social and natural resource infrastructure services.
- To support empowerment of community and LGAs for sustainable development.
