In a bid to promote sense of ownership towards achieving success in the implementation and sustainability of the project, Center for Community Development and Research Network (CCDRN) is ensuring that host community members and beneficiaries take the driver’s seat in the implementation process of the livelihood project across 14 targeted communities in Bade Local Government Area (LGA), thereby, establishing the Project Management Committee (PMCs) in all the targeted communities of the livelihood project.
“This training is very important as it provides us with the opportunity to understand our roles and responsibilities even as we also participate in the project” say Isa Usman, a participant from Azam Kura community.
The committee is expected to participate in day-day monitoring and management of the livelihood project while contributing to their own resilience building efforts and development. Training for the first batch of the PMCs covering 9 communities (Abujan Amare, Bayan Government Day, Garin Lamido, Kangalafaye, Korama, Lawan Musa Central, Madina Dadin Kowa, Tudun Nassarawa and Unguwan Mallam Yakubu) was conducted on 20th and 21st February.
