The people of Okweriseng in Obudu LGA are happy with Agency and the Cross River State Govt. supporting their water projects.

Recently we trained some poor and chronically vulnerable groups to enable them build capacity required for the effective implementation of the Group Development Plans. Their capacity to successful implement the micro projects in their development plan is essential to them deriving the intended benefits. In few days, a project lunch that signals the commencement of the implementation of their project will be held. With this, the group members are guaranteed of a better life afterwards.

Agency recently trained some beneficiary communities and key Local Government functionaries who constitute the Local Government Review Committees (LGRC) from The 18 LGAs in The state. The capacities of the communities were built on project implementation strategies and the LGRC basically on Community Development Plan (CDP) desk review and PRA strategies for effective community engagement. This is important to enable them discharge on their roles and responsibilities as key stakeholders.

We are impacting in many ways, but basically improving access of people who need development the most to services for human developments. This will ultimately reduce poverty. Some completed and put to use micro projects accross CRS. It can only get better.
