WIDO STORIES OF CHANGE- 2018-2020
Community initiates resource mobilization to support community Development Monitors
Client name: Yakubu Ayuba (CDM-Jema) Date: 16th March, 2020 Project: GSAM-
The concept of Community Development Monitors in advancing citizens demand for accountability could achieve greater results if communities provide direct support to these monitors. So far 45 CDMs have received training to support the District assemblies
Our approach
WIDO initiates projects based on research and community oriented needs assessment. WIDO believes in strong partnership and collaboration in project implementation. In addition, WIDO participates in quarterly review sessions of all the District Assemblies where it works to brief the stakeholders on the WIDO interventions. This has increased community acceptance of project interventions and also sustainability. In all project implementation WIDO trucks project progress through field based reports and monitoring of results using indicator performance monitoring tables. WIDO also conducts end of year evaluation of project performance and also beneficiary evaluation of WIDO at the community level. This has helped to advance our work in the community.
