Call to Program / Evaluation Commissioners: Help End Hunger and Poverty in Nigeria, Africa & World.

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

In the first 50 years of International Development Cooperation, 1960 – 2009; several Study Reports indicate the following Scorecard:-

1.      1/3 Good Evaluations; 1/3 Flawed Evaluations and 1/3 Failed Evaluations.

2.      1/3 Good Programs; 1/3 Flawed Programs and 1/3 Failed Programs.

 

5 years into the second 50 years of International Development Cooperation, 2010 – 2059; Study Reports indicate the same Scorecard as in the first 50 years.

 

If International Development Cooperation Goals and Targets such as FAO End Hunger in Africa by 2025 and World Leaders End Poverty in the World by 2030 are to be met and impressive Scorecard is to be obtained by 2060 NOW is the time for a TURNING POINT in International Development Cooperation, with Universal Evaluation – Evaluation Advocacy; Evaluation Innovation; Evaluation Promotion and Evaluation Protection as KEY Lever.

 

IDEAS Global Assembly 2013 focused on Poverty. The outcome of this conference organized by the only World Association of Individual Development Evaluation Practitioners has had ZERO IMPACT on Country and Global M & E Systems. This Underline the point, that the Turning Point Time in International Development Cooperation is NOW.

 

In Nigeria, the World Bank and DFID started Joint Country Partnership Strategy, JCPS, in 2005. Fundamental Issues raised by at least One stakeholder in 2005 are still relevant today, such that Nigeria's Investment Climate is worse in 2014 despite Investment Climate Reform Component of JCPS that started in 2005. Each JCPS up to the current JCPS 2014 – 2017 raise Country M & E issues, yet Society for Monitoring and Evaluation, SMEAN remain comatose and M & E Systems at Federal Government, 36 States Governments and FCT and 774 Local Governments remain very weak.

 

We understand the current USAID Director seek to pass Aid through Communities because past effort at passing Aid through Government Agencies and CSOs' have not worked. If Evaluation could not identify why these past efforts failed and recommend practical solutions, it is inevitable that the current effort will also fail.

 

USAID and AfDB have joined WB and DFID as Partners in the JCPS. We know that AfDB has Aligned and Harmonized its Country Programming Framework, CFP with the JCPS. Assuming WB, DFID and USAID have also Aligned and Harmonized their respective CPF with the JCPS, as long as Major International Institutions – UNICEF, UNDP, FAO, IFAD, EC etc do not Align and Harmonize their respective CPF with the JCPS on one hand and the Budgets and Development Plans of Federal Government, 36 State Governments, FCT and 774Local Governments are not Aligned and Harmonized with the JCPS and respective CPFs' of all International Institutions / Donor Agencies / International Foundations, the fundamental issues of Aid Effectiveness cannot be tackled resulting in Nigeria's problems remaining or getting worse with consequences for National and International Stakeholders in Nigeria's Economy.  

 

The recent death of 19 Youth at Nigeria Immigration Service Interview has generated ANGER across Nigeria which properly channelled to focus on solutions to Nigeria's problems, can help End Hunger and Poverty in Nigeria, Africa and World. Please help us to ENSURE the 19 Youth do not die in VAIN through supporting Campaigns that help lay foundation and build edifice for New Institution Order fit for the 21^st Century in Nigeria, Africa and World within a New End Hunger and Poverty, NEHAP Initiative.

 

It is true that in every discipline Nigeria has World Class Professionals. Nigeria Professionals are helping to build other Nations – Developed and Developing. For example, should Nigeria Professionals be withdrawn today, the UK Health System will collapse. Inspite of this, it appears that Nigeria is yet to break the vicious circle of being too Rich to be Poor and too Poor to be Rich. Notwithstanding the differences between Consulting Services for Commercial Gain Approach and Consulting Services for Pro Bono and Commercial Gain Approach, the Task to break this vicious circle is one that Universal Evaluation – Evaluation Advocacy; Evaluation Innovation; Evaluation Promotion and Evaluation Protection needs to effectively and efficiently address within the NEHAP Initiative.

 

The point we are making is that Universal Evaluation – Evaluation Advocacy, Evaluation Innovation, Evaluation Promotion and Evaluation Protection can help solve Unempolyment, Terrorism, Hunger and Poverty problems facing our world today, if there is genuine determination on the part of Program Commissioners and Evaluation Commissioners in International Institutions; Donor Agencies; International Foundations and Governments sides to help achieve impressive International Development Scorecard by 2060 through supporting NEHAP Initiative Activities in Nigeria, Africa and World. Please find attached a document on NEHAP Campaigns.

 

Program Commissioners and Evaluation Commissioners genuinely interested in providing funding support to NEHAP Initiative Pilot Program in Nigeria and or any other Africa Country are encouraged to send email to ispeabuja@yahoo.co.uk

 

Evaluation Professionals; Development Professionals and other relevant Professionals genuinely interested in contributing time, talent and treasure to support NEHAP Initiative Activities are encouraged to send email to nehap.initiative@yahoo.co.uk

 

Please join us to help make Nigeria, Africa and Global Society Safe, Secure, Peaceful and Prosperous for all Citizens and Immigrants. If you have read to this point, we THANK you, we URGE you to please TAKE ACTION STEPS by sending email to us and circulating this mail to others.

 

God Bless our World.

 

Yours sincerely,
