Key Facts
A five year programme seeking to build the capacity of local government to deliver needs driven basic services; and of civil society to hold local governments in the Niger Delta to account and demand services critical to the reduction of poverty. LEF will engage with three Nigerian NGOs that have experience of working with stakeholders in the region to bring about change. The results sought include greater functional skills from the local government and engagement with the oil industry to lay a foundation for sustainable development. Practical action will focus on planning and implementation of pilot sustainable development projects in six local government authorities across three Niger Delta States. Also the project will create a platform for LGA and civil society engagement as well as a budget monitoring mechanism at the LGA level. A programme of cultural activities, underlining the relationship between traditional values and good governance, will reinforce outcomes.
