Ndokwa Comprehensive Local Development Needs Report

[Sylvester Ogbolu-Otutu]

Dear Sir/Madam,

The President-General of the Ndokwa Neku Union (NNU), Chief (Pharm.) Paul O. Enebeli, has commissioned the preparation of an Ndokwa Comprehensive Local Development Needs Report.

The Ndokwa Comprehensive Local Development Needs Report would be quite detailed in terms of its overall scope and shall include a list of projects to be done in each community within the three (3) local government areas of Ndokwaland. The final report shall then be distributed by the NNU to the various local governments for implementation. With a comprehensive list of projects on hand, it would be easier to monitor and evaluate what the local governments are doing for the people of Ndokwa land. It would also be easier for those in development advocacy to draw the attention of political leaders to the local needs of the people.

The outline policy development process for this exercise shall be as follows:

1. Type of Local Projects

The local projects fall within the following categories:

Primary Schools - rehabilitation, maintenance, building of new classroom blocks, and facilities.

Community Health - local maternity, local health centre/health post/dispensaries, etc.

Water and Sanitation - Community water supply, public toilets, etc.

Environmental Management - Drainage systems/channeling surface runoff, erosion and flood control, pollution control

Rural Infrastructure - All-weather earth roads, Bridges & Culverts, Rural Electricity, 

Rural Commerce - Local Market stalls, Cottage Industry

2. Location of Projects

Each community has to state its local project needs based on the type of projects identified in (1) above, and this shall then be compiled into a pre-formatted matrix. A copy of the matrix is currently under development and would be made available as soon as it is ready.

The level of breakdown would be based on (a) Local government - Ndokwa-East; Ndokwa-West & Ukwuani; (b) Clan; (c) Towns; (d) Villages & Communities.

3. Time Frame

The collation of list of projects by community shall be done over a two week period. It is anticipated that a comprehensive report will be submitted to the NNU leadership by Thursday 20th November 2014.

We urge everyone to participate in this exercise so that the local development needs of each community in Ndokwa can be adequately captured and brought to the attention of local government officials and political office holders.

Thanking you in anticipation of your kind cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Sylvester Ogbolu-Otutu
