Rivers State CSO Directory 2016

Introduction

The LEAD project was launched in November 2009 in response to capacity gaps in Nigeria's local government system which impact negatively on the quality of public service delivery in the country. The Leadership Empowerment Advocacy and Development (LEAD) project which commenced in Sokoto and Bauchi and launched in Rivers state in 2013 under cooperative agreement between PIND and the United State States Agency for International Development is the Flagship governance program of USAID in Nigeria. The project in Rivers state fostered partnerships between state and local governments, civil society and the private sector to improve governance, accountability, and service delivery. The project is currently being implemented in twenty three local government areas across the three states thus- 12 LGAs in Sokoto, 8 LGAs in Bauchi, and 6 in Rivers respectively. In Rivers state the LEAD project is implemented in Akuku- Toru, Khana, Okrika, Obio/Akpor, Bonny and Tai representing the 3 senatorial districts in the state, covering urban as well as rural centers. The program provided technical assistance at the state and local government levels on both demand (Communities) and Supply side (government) to improve service delivery in health, education, water and sanitation, Youth Economic Empowerment, legal and regulatory reviews amongst others. Critically, the Project created a platform for continual interface and dialogue for community structures, citizens and the local government councils. The LEAD project’s overall goal is to create sustained momentum for effective local governance systems in Nigeria. This goal is anchored on key objectives: . Strengthen the capacity of local governments and Increase transparency in local government operations; . Increase Capacity of Local Organizations . Improve Service Delivery and Support for Local Economic Development. To promote citizens involvement in decision making and coordinate sustained engagement with civil society in the state, the LEAD project provided support for production of a CSO directory in the state to facilitate access and knowledge of existing CSOs in the state. The directory is for general consumption for development partners, government, communities and all who may have need for interface with CSOs in the state. The directory as presented here is made for continual update in other to address emerging realities in the industry in Rivers State.

Approach to CSO Directory Compilation:

Compilation of the CSO directory was undertaken by the LEAD project to create a compendium for key CSOs working in Rivers state as a database and reference source. The exercise aimed to identify and document the profile of existing organizations working in various settings (urban and rural) as a reliable database of CSO in Rivers State. It adopted a holistic approach in scoping and documenting details which form core information about the operations and sectoral spread of CSOs in the state

Objectives

 To generate concrete database of CSOs in Rivers State.  To identify number of active CSOs working in the state.  Increase access to local non state actors across different program areas in Rivers State.

Methodology Traditional techniques were employed in carrying out the CSO mapping in the state, ACCORD adapted RTI-LEAD CSO mapping tool which was administered through group discussions, vocal contacts and other conventional form of communication (Emails, Network coordinators, and phone interviews). The forms administered highlighted basic organization information like thematic focus, location, organization status, etc.

Methodological limitations: the initial intention was to capture all CSOs operating in Rivers State. However, state institutions responsible for the registration of organizations fall short of accurate information on CSOs in the state. As such no such detailed data could be sourced on social clubs, non-profit organizations, trade unions, etc. registered in a single directory, notwithstanding their respective purpose of establishment. Also, some organizations registered in past may no longer be in operation given the dynamic nature of society. Furthermore, most non-profit organizations are located in the metropolitan centre or district of Rivers State. Thus, such CSOs establish contact offices at the city and operates in rural/semi-urban areas. In some senatorial districts and LGAs the number of CSOs were small –this could be some of the effects of local organizations initiating humanitarian aid from the urban areas. The exercise in the end identified 203 civil society organizations that responded from over 1200 instruments administered across the state.

Justification For Compilation Of CSO Directory Civil society organizations work collaboratively with nation state governments to effectualize best practices, enhance technical capacity and institutional strengthening for sustainable development. These organizations and institutions that make up the civil society include non-profit organizations, Unions, Cooperatives, faith based, Community groups, Social clubs etc. who provide relevant but differentiated services to people. Through these efforts, civil society organizations have established a socially inclusive and cooperative partnership which evolves and serves as social capital and resource pool thus promoting a platform for social mobilization and advocacy for the underserved populations in the society. Similar efforts play out in Rivers State promoting phenomenal growth in CSO activities which have helped in the attainment of many lofty policies, ideas and programs. With the support of the LEAD project, this directory is compiled to serve international and national interests for those considering to work with CSOs in Rivers state.
