The overall objective of the Niger Delta Support Programme (NDSP) is to mitigate the conflict in the Niger Delta by addressing the main causes of the unrest and violence: bad governance, (youth) unemployment, poor delivery of basic services. A key focus of the programme will be to contribute to poverty alleviation through the development and support given to local community development initiatives. The NDSP4 aims to support institutional reforms and capacity building, resulting in Local Gov- ernment and State Authorities increasingly providing infrastructural services, income gener- ating options, sustainable livelihoods development, gender equity and community empow- erment. This will be achieved through offering models of transparency and participation as well as the involvement of Local Governments in funding Micro projects to enhance impact and sustainability. Specifically, 863 community projects are expected to be implemented as part of the EU support to community development in the Niger Delta. By the end of August 2019, some 690 out of the 863 micro-projects had been completed and accepted. In addition, under the NDSP4 Service Contract, 330 uncompleted projects were taken up un- der an addendum No.1 to the contract (mpp9) and successfully completed 302 by the end of December 2017; the remaining 28 were carried over to NDSP4 Works contract-2. Kingsley Fossu Team Leader – NDSP4 Page 4 EUROPEAN UNION NIGER DELTA SUPPORT PROGRAMME NDSP4 LEGACY BOOK 2019 IMO STATE PROGRAMME OVERVIEW NDSP Component 4 (NDSP4) NDSP4 is an extension of MPP9 and is building on its achievement, focussing on focal com- munities and capable and reform-minded Local Government authorities. This component is implementing micro-projects co-funded with Local Governments, which will contribute to building the capacity of local governments in service delivery to the poor and to strength- ening the partnership between Government authorities and communities. By implementing Micro-Projects in a wide range of communities, the programme aims to improve the delivery of social and economic services and to sensitise communities to demand good governance through the community participatory planning and development. NDSP4 includes allowance for community-based action in support of conflict prevention/ management or addressing other issues of relevance to the affected communities, including environmental improvements. The Objective of NDSP Component 4 is to support local communities’ development initiatives and conflict alleviation by completing the 9th EDF MPP9 project, which has a financial short- fall. Expected results to be achieved are: Result 1: Strengthened Community Governance through adoption of Community Development Action Plans by Communities and Local Government authorities. Result 2: Increased equitable access to basic infrastructure services by women and men. Result 3: Increased equitable access to income generating options and sustainable livelihood development by women and children. Result 4: Improved social cohesion among village communities.
