Outcome harvesting is key in project implementation as it helps an organization answer the question of what/who changed, when said change happened and what key strategies where implemented to achieve the change. This further informs review of engagement strategies to achieve more impact 👌 Knowing this, @Connected_dev hosted #PowerOfVoices #FairForAll partners (a project implemented in 6 oil producing states with focus on empowering and amplifying their voices to enhance civic engagement, promote transparency/accountability and improve service delivery in the region) to an outcome harvesting meeting. Key successes highlighted includes👇 1. Amendment of the Host Community Development Regulations of 2022 in July 2024 by the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) to create a power balance that gives the commission more authority to hold oil companies accountable and ensure the implementation of the 3% of operating cost provision of the PIA to Host Community Development Trust Fund (HCDTF) 2. Incorporation of a monitoring interface on NUPRC portal to monitor the disbursement of the 3% fund provision to HCDTF. This will help keep track of oil companies that have fulfilled this obligation and the ones delaying/defaulting. As @connected_dev continues engagements in these states, our goal is to ensure that these funds are judiciously utilized for the development of the oil communities 👌 Supported by @oxfaminnigeria #PVPF4A

@connected_dev inaugurated a 20 member Community of Practice (made of COB, Media and CSOs) in Bayelsa State, who will champion the #ProjectTrustNG campaign (focused on institutionalizing accountability and social inclusion systems that address the specific needs of the people) in their respective communities 👏 This is crucial in ensuring a citizens-led movement and also ensuring continuity even when the project ends. The project lead Ruth Okafor stated similar CoP will be inaugurated in Kwara, Anambra, Yobe, Osun and Jigawa (representing the 6 geopolitical zones) in the coming days Supported by @macfound #SocialAccountability #RebuildingTrust
