Invitation to the PAVE-EVEL “Nigeria Water Education for Schools & Communities Programme” Stakeholders meeting in Lagos, Tuesday 14th March, 2017.

[anthony akpan]

Dear Colleagues,

 

We wish to cordially invite you to participate as a key stakeholder and expert in the NGO sector in a stakeholder meeting with the Estonian Water Works Association (EVEL) delegation that will be visiting Nigeria between 5th-16th March, 2017 for further project discussions with PAVE and other relevant stakeholders on their proposed collaboration and support for the Pan African Vision for the Environment (PAVE)  in the development and implementation of the Nigeria Water Education for Schools and Communities Programme.

Date: Tuesday 14th March, 2017

 

Venue:  WANGONeT Office

 

7, Raymond Street, Off Commercial Avenue, Sabo-Yaba, Lagos

 

Time: 10:00am

 

We are hoping through this Stakeholders meeting (already held one in Abuja) that we will present the logical framework of the Nigeria Water Education for Schools and Communities Programme and engage the collaboration and support of development partners and other relevant stakeholders including Government MDAs, NGOs as the Estonian Water Works Association (EVEL) will not be supporting the programme 100%.

 

 

 

 

 

The Goal of the Nigeria Water Education for Schools and Communities Programme.

 

The broad aim of the Nigeria Water Education for Schools and Communities Programme is to promote better understanding of water as a key social, economic and environmental resource and to facilitate a new water-use ethic in Nigeria  including the building and installation of water and sanitation infrastructures in selected needy schools and communities. It is about the community’s sense of duty- the obligation members have to each other, to the use of water itself and to future generations. The community sense of responsibility ought to be strengthened towards the management of water and other natural resources which took billions of years to develop and, yet, which could be diminished or exhausted within a relatively shorter period of time. That this is highly probable is evidenced in the population growth rate of Nigeria and, in particular, the rapid increase in the rate of growth in urban cities in Nigeria. This programme provides an excellent opportunity to promote this process.

 

Introducing the Nigeria Water Education in Schools and Communities Programme would be strategic entry points to:

 

·         Develop awareness about Water and Sanitation Sector reform and policy issues in Nigeria;

·         Develop awareness of water and sanitation related environmental issues including water borne diseases and open defeacation ;

·         Develop knowledge and skills necessary to analyze the issues and understanding why people view and use water in particular ways;

·         Examine attitudes, values, and behaviours regarding consumption of water in cities;

·         Identify the underlying causes of current water oriented problems in Nigerian cities;

·         Support informed decision-making by the community that could affect the quality of their lives with respect to water;

·         Participate actively in the sustainable management of their water environment;

·         Evaluate and propose actions that will achieve effective water related solutions in support of water resources management.

 

 

The Pan African Vision for the Environment (PAVE) is a Lagos based non profit, non-political, non-governmental organization established with the aim of promoting sustainable development through research, documentation, policy dialogues, workshops, advocacy and consultancy services.

PAVE is registered (IT/NO: 26029) with the Corporate Affairs Commission in Nigeria.
