NDPI • 2013 – Second & Third Quarter Report 3

Executive Summary

This report covers the progress and results

achieved by the Niger Delta Partnership

Initiative (NDPI) from April 1st – September

30th 2013.

In Q2 Dennis Flemming transitioned the role

of Executive Director of PIND to Sam Daibo.

Dennis continues as Executive Director of

NDPI, where he focuses NDPI’s outreach

and partnership development.

NDPI establishes an office and presence in

in Washington DC to facilitate international

partner outreach and engagement. Eniola

Mafe was brought on as Program Manager

for NDPI to manage the day to day

operations and outreach to stakeholders and

partners.

PIND was appointed to the National Council

on the Niger Delta, a 40 member committee

responsible for approving policies,

programs, and projects designed to drive

development activities in the Niger Delta.

PIND mobilized 95 cassava farmers from 13

communities to begin supplying their

harvests to Thai Farms, one of the largest

cassava processors in Ogun State.

PIND and partners have found the 3,000ha

of land to be used for an out grower

scheme. This scheme is a partnership

between Thai Farms, PIND, Edo State

Cassava Farmers Association (ESCFA), and

Sterling Bank, to foster commercial scale

cassava cultivation, utilize high degree of

mechanization, and reduce cost of

production of cassava tubers and production

of high quality cassava tubers for the

farmers.

The Business Linkages pilot project trained

10 staff of Chevron responsible for

community development projects on the use

of Value Chain Analysis as a strategy for

planning sustainable market development

interventions.

In August, PIND’s Peace Building program

hosted a Peace Camp, a week-long event in

Port Harcourt, Rivers State, that held from

26th – 30th of August, 2013. At Peace Camp,

peace builders in communities throughout

the region formed strong partnerships for

collaboration using online and offline tools for

conflict mapping, dialogue facilitation, and

project management. The 110 people that

participated came together to form the P4P

Network.

Results of the evaluation of the pilot phase of

the CAPABLE were presented to

PIND/Crown Agent. In this project, 80

individuals participated in this training to build

the institutional and technical capacity of

CSOs and BMOs in the Niger Delta to

contribute to development in the region.

ECONOMIC

DEVELOPMENT

PROGRAM

Aquaculture Value Chain Pilot

Project

The purpose of the Aquaculture Value Chain

Project is to help impart best practices in fish

farming that will boost farmers’ fish feed

selection, pond preparation and stocking, water

quality management, optimum feed usage and

recording keeping; all of which would improve

farmers’ efficiency and, in turn, applying the this

best practices in their enterprises.

In varying degrees from strongly to very

strongly, 100% of surveyed farmers during Q1

and Q2 of 2013 agreed that participating in the

training has been beneficial to them. In addition

to the improved farming practices of the

participating farmers, the demo pond intervention

has brought improved linkages and cooperation

between fish farmers and the feed companies.

Furthermore, a new feed company visited the

ponds and indicated interest in adopting the

demo pond model a marketing tool to reach

farmers.

Q3- Impact of the Demonstration Pond

Pilot Project Yields Promising Results

At the beginning of the 3rd quarter, the eight

‘demo’ ponds used to train 80 fish farmers on best

practices in fish farming were harvested.

Following on from monitoring and evaluation

efforts in previous quarters to measure the impact

of the demonstration ponds and the training to

improve farming practices, another effectiveness

survey was carried out on a sample of

participating fish farmers. A comparative analysis

was conducted between baseline figures which

had been collected prior to the project

commencement and subsequent changes in

average yield, average income, mortality rate of

fish, and stock density and profit.

A comparative analysis between baseline and

demo ponds result was done between the

average yield from a baseline pond and the

average yield from a demo pond. Results showed

that farmers were stocking less fish in

demonstration pond than in the average pond at

baseline, but total yield from the demonstration

pond is 14% higher than baseline because 16%

less fish die with the improved demonstration

pond practices. Feed costs increased slightly

(7%) than average at baseline, meaning farmers

are now using better quality feed. Profit margin

also increased by 17%.


A follow-on training effectiveness survey was also

conducted with 27 farmers. The survey found

that with the exception of a new method fish

farming called ‘piping’ all other topics covered in

the training were considered useful by the

farmers. It also found that farmers began using

the new knowledge to varying degrees. The

survey also discovered that more farmers are re-

entering the fish farming business, and one of the

feed companies has confirmed an increased

volume of sales.

Sharing Best Practices in Fish Farming

Using Demonstration Ponds Experience

In September, a results sharing workshop,

themed “Ensuring Sustainable Impact through

Changing Practices,” was held. It featured video

footage gathered throughout the demo-pond

intervention by PIND’s Media Hub. The workshop

was used to share the results of the demo ponds

intervention with over 75 stakeholders within

aquaculture value chain, build linkages between

them and review modalities for scale-up and

replication in other parts of the Delta.

Next quarter, the aquaculture will continue to

engage with potential partners on the scale-up

models. PIND and Markets II have already

carried out a detailed organizational assessment

of two other fish farming associations and did site

visits to other fish farm clusters in Delta state in

preparation for their participation in the scale-up

of the project.

Participants at the results sharing workshop of PIND’s demonstration pond pilot project. These events build needed linkages between fish farmers and input suppliers, as well as review modalities for the scale up of the intervention


Cassava Value Chain Pilot

Project

Promoting the Adoption of High Yielding

Cassava Varieties

Having increased cassava farmers’ knowledge of

the economic benefit of cultivating cassava

varieties with high starch content through a starch

testing exercise for farmers in Edo state in the last

quarter, PIND saw an increased adoption of new

high starch yielding cassava varieties by farmers

in the 2nd quarter. Six cassava famers requested

for high yielding cassava varieties with high

starch content and 80 bundles of stem cuttings of

the new improved variety were supplied in the

reporting quarter. A concept for rapid stem

multiplication for the high yielding cassava variety

is to be developed in the third quarter.

Boosting Demand for Cassava from Edo

Farmers

In the third quarter, PIND identified three possible

locations in Edo state for the proposed out-

grower scheme in Thai Farms. This scheme is a

partnership between Thai Farms, PIND, Edo

State Cassava Farmers Association (ESCFA),

and Sterling Bank to foster commercial scale

cassava cultivation, utilize high degree of

mechanization, and employ scientific farming

methods to achieve reduced cost of production of

cassava tubers and production of high quality

cassava tubers for the farmers.

Two locations have been identified totaling about

3,000 hectares (ha) for use during the cassava

out-grower scheme. In Q2, the Edo State

Commissioner of Agriculture had given PIND and

its partners this land to help scale up efforts. The

identified sites will be surveyed in the coming

quarter.

PIND has also begun to develop deeper study to

understand the industrial and traditional cassava

sector so as to refine its interventions further.

Palm Oil Value Chain Pilot

Project

Improving Access to Efficient Processing

Machines for Palm Oil Production

The training of six fabricators in the production of

the palm oil small-scale processing equipment at

the end of Q2 was followed by business and

entrepreneurship training to build the capacity of

Local engineers from

Eziorsu Palm Oil

Farmers Association

installing their palm oil

processing machine

they learned to create

at NIFOR.


the fabricators to actively promote and sell the

improved processing equipment produced by

them around the palm oil producing clusters.

In the quarter, ownership of the newly produced

equipment was transferred to a private sector mill

owner in the Eziorsu Oguta farming cluster

located in Imo state following a competitive

bidding process. A team of NIFOR engineers

installed the equipment at the mill with the active

participation of the newly trained fabricators as a

second phase of their training on maintenance

and operation of mills.

PIND’s Media Hub was on hand to gather footage

from which a short film on the processing

machine titled “Palm Oil: Technology for Higher

Profit and Better Markets” was produced. (View

film on www.pindfoundation.org)

Due to this intervention, NIFOR has reported an

increased number of orders for small scale

processing equipment due to the publication of

the training activity in the print media.

Business Linkages Project

Value Chain Analysis Training for

Chevron’s Policy, Government, and

Public Affairs Staff

In April, NDPI’s Technical Advisors on Economic

Development and PIND’s Business Linkages

team conducted a value chain (VC) training to 10

Chevron staff involved in community

development and 2 staff of PIND staff.

The participants received training on the

principles of systemic market development, along

with their practical application within a

sustainable economic development strategy.

Training participants were also introduced to:

The criteria for selection of sectors with

economic potential

Analysis of sector dynamics using the

value chain approach

Identification of systemic constraints,

development of a long-term vision for

inclusive local economic development

Strategies for fostering increased sector

competitiveness.

Following preparatory work for the business

linkages pilot project with Chevron in Q2, PIND

and CNL reviewed the cost benefit analysis

prepared to include two different programs that

can be implemented by CNL to improve the

competitiveness of local community suppliers: a

Supplier Development Program (SDP) and a

Market Development Program. The buy-in of CNL

to the plan was also secured after the review.

Next quarter, the team will present Chevron with

more detail on the expected impacts, costs,

associated benefits and potential timelines for

SDP and the Market Development Program.

To aid in its work to bolster opportunity for small

businesses in the region, the team also compiled

a list of the local business development services

providers in the Niger Delta this quarter.

The team also continued ongoing outreach to

potential partner companies and multinationals.

Appropriate Technology

Enabled Development (ATED)

Program

Constructing the ATED Demonstration

Centre

The foundation stage of PIND’s ATED Center,

which once constructed, will serve as a resource

and demonstration hub for small-scale, replicable

technologies was completed within the quarter

and the making of Hydraform blocks for the

building started. Construction work, community

engagement and training of local community

persons also continued into Q3 while research

and discussions began in this quarter on the bio-

digester design for the ATED building. The

superstructure will be well underway next quarter,

and the landscaping plan would also be

developed. Learn more about the ATED

demonstration center by watching a short video

titled “Making the Case for Green Building”

produced by PIND’s Media Hub within the quarter

on www.pindfoundation.org .

PIND also presented the concept, design and

plan of the ATED demonstration center to 15

representatives of various foundations,

government, and professional bodies at its Abuja

office in September to create awareness and

opportunity for possible collaboration.

Training on Water, Sanitation and

Hygiene for Egbema Gbaramatu

Communities

Informed by the findings from the water,

sanitation and health survey on communities in

the Egbema Gbaramatu, NDPI’s ATED team

conducted a step-down training in 2 EGCDF

communities to raise awareness on good

sanitation habits and to increase their

understanding on the use and operations of the

bio-sand filter (BSF) technology for clean water.

This training was administered to 17 people (5

women, 12 males). Evaluation of the outcomes

from the training showed improved knowledge

and attitudes towards sanitation and hygiene and

an increased understanding of how the bio-sand

filter works. Further step-down training will follow

in the Q4, along with installation of 70 BSFs in two

EGCDF communities.

currently under construction



Biosand Filter for Access to Clean Water

In July, the ATED team took a monitoring visit to

the Dodo River community in Bayelsa state

where it had installed the bio-sand filter in 11

households in 2012. The visit found that the

BSF’s had been successfully adopted and were

actively used in 10 out of the 11 households.

Community members expressed satisfaction with

the filters, and noted an improvement in their

health, and even expressed willingness to pay for

more filters if need be. Discussions will

commence Q4 with Dodo River RDC on how to

organize a scale-up of the pilot and make the BSF

into a local social enterprise.

In same quarter, PIND’s Media Hub produced the

‘’Biosand Filter: Clean Water No Get Enemy’

short film (available on www.pindfoundation.org )

which the ATED team used to present the

biosand filter technology to the Rotary Club in

Ekpan, Warri, Delta State. This presentation will

help to raise awareness of the BSFs as well as

help to build a viable market and increase

demand for the product in communities in the

region.

CAPACITY BUILDING

PROGRAM

Leadership, Entrepreneurship

and Communications Training

for Youth

PIND worked with the African Centre for

Leadership, Strategy and Development (Centre

LSD) to begin the mentorship phase of this

project, having held the initial leadership,

entrepreneurship and ICT trainings for 36 youth

in the previous quarter. The mentors, all

upstanding citizens of exemplary conduct, are

providing the youth with practical hands-on

experience on leadership. The monthly report of

their activities and experiences produced by the

Mentees in the quarter indicated that the

exposure to mentees is leading to changes in

their perception and disposition as future leaders

of tomorrow. Next quarter, the team would hold

an evaluation workshop to conclude the pilot, and

participants in this program would be offered

training in peace-building.

Extending the Leadership,

Empowerment, Advocacy and

Development (LEAD) Program

to Rivers State

Having commenced in June, the USAID-

Nigeria/PIND/RTI Leadership, Empowerment,

Advocacy and Development (LEAD) project aims

to strengthen the capacity of local government for

greater public participation in governance, and

increase the transparency of local government

operations. LEAD staff convened in Rivers State

in to develop a 60-day action plan, of which a key

action item was the selection of three LGAs who

would start project implementation.

[My mentor] has encouraged me to be

business oriented; as a result I have started a

mini business in the sales of books. I plan to

use this to learn the practical pattern of doing

business as I have intentions of expanding

into other ventures.

PEACE BUILDING

PROGRAM

Partners for Peace (P4P)

Launch of the Partners for Peace (P4P)

Networks and Chapters at Peace Camp

PIND held a week-long Peace Camp event in

Port Harcourt, Rivers State, from 26th – 30th of

August, 2013, for peace builders from

communities throughout the region to form strong

partnerships for collaboration using online and

offline tools for conflict mapping, dialogue

facilitation, and project management. 110 people

participated and came together to form the P4P

Network, a vast coalition of local private and

public actors who do peace building work

throughout the Niger Delta region. Participants

were trained on conflict resolution, mediation and

use of social media for peacebuilding.

Additionally, 104 out of the 110 participants were

surveyed, and the following outcomes were

reported:

89% of participants agreed that the information provided during the trainings were relevant

100% of respondents increased their network, and 89.58% intended to communicate and coordinate with their network

96.73% were motivated to conduct peace building interventions

The P4P Network, whose vision is ‘’sustainable

peace in the Niger Delta for economic and human

development’’ developed actions plans and

departed to begin the state chapters of the

Network for implementation.

P4P Short Film Series

The P4P team worked with the Media Hub to

produce a series of short films featuring stories of

individual P4P Network members’ experiences

with violence to increase public awareness of the

negative impact of conflict and support for

peacebuilding. By the end of Q3, the videos were

viewed 313 times. View the films on www.p4p-

nigerdelta.org

Working Group for More Collaborative

Planning on Conflict and Peace Building

Mercy Corps/NSRP/FFP/PIND began in 2013 to

hold roundtable meetings to promote better

communication and information sharing between

peace building actors and experts in Abuja and

P4P Network members hold up the sticker displaying their official slogan

http://www.p4p-nigerdelta.org/



Washington, DC to allow for more informed and

collaborative planning of peacebuilding strategies

and activities. This quarter’s meeting in Abuja

saw 17 people from 14 different organizations

come together to review conflict trends in the

region using various analysis tools available on

the P4P web platform.

A Conflict and Peace Building

Information Hub for Coordination

The P4P team continued preparing and updating

incident reports on the P4P webmap on

www.p4p-nigerdelta.org throughout the quarter.

Traffic to the digital platform increased by 82%

from Q2, 7,020 conflict risk factors mapped and

353 peace agents were mapped to the platform

as at the end of the quarter while more

organizations began contributing data to the

platform, showing that more peace actors are

increasingly sharing information and coordinating

with one other.

Between 2013 Q1 and 2013 Q2, traffic to the

website increased 550%. The 1st Quarter had

398 views, the 2nd Quarter recorded 2,592 views

(551.25 % increase); while the 3rd Quarter

recorded a total of 4,898 views (88.96% increase

over the 2nd Quarter).

Following the early success of this tool, more

organizations have expressed interest in

integrating their data on the site.

Peaceable Livelihoods and

Community Empowerment

(PLACE)

Using the report of the participatory local

assessment of Egbokodo-Itsekiri and Ubeji

communities prepared in the preceding quarter,

PIND’s Strategic Program team completed the

conceptual design of the interventions for the

PLACE project in the 2nd quarter. During the

same quarter, the team began the design for the

aquaculture intervention, one of the five project

interventions proposed for the project and carried

out a pre-award capacity assessment of a local

Community-Based NGO, Coastal and Marine

Areas Development Initiative (CMADI) as a

proposed co-facilitator of the PLACE project.

CMADI also began taking actions to address the

issues raised in the pre-award assessment. PIND

will sign a MoU with CMADI in the 4th quarter and

will conduct a rapid assessment of the

aquaculture value chain in the two intervention

communities.

ANALYSIS AND

ADVOCACY

Models of Development and

Experiential Learning (MODEL)

In the second quarter, the MODEL team

conducted a reconnaissance survey for the

Songhai Model from 28th May to 3rd June in Rivers

state. The reconnaissance survey is to determine

how many farmers have been trained, whether

the originally trained farmers are working as

trainers, as well as who the beneficiaries are and

how they are spatially dispersed.



In Q3 further progress was made towards the

development of case study of the selected

Akassa and Songhai development models as a

field data collection was completed and data

entered and analyzed.

PIND trained 10 field enumerators. Following the

training, 323 households were surveyed over the

course of five days and six key Informant

Interviews were conducted with key officers of the

Akassa Development Foundation staff.

Key findings from this study would be presented

at Niger Delta Development Forum in November.

NDLink: Bridging the

Communication and Information

among Development Actors

.PIND advanced plans for the launch of its new

NDLink project during the just concluded quarter.

NDlink is aimed to be the most-up-to-date

information and communication online platform

for the suatainable development of the Niger

Delta, providing information on projects,

organizations, professionals, jobs/tenders,

partners, funding opportunities and networks.

Design and programming for the website

commenced while New Nigeria Foundation, NNF

began sourcing and collating fresh content for the

site through field work in the 9 states of the

region. NDLink website will go live on the

November 26th , 2013 after a formal launch at the

NDDF.

Media Production Hub

Enhancing the Storytelling Capacity of

PIND'

In May, a five-day Advanced Camera Master

Class Training Course was held for 14 Niger-

Delta youth which included the five PIND Media

Production Hub staff. The goal of the workshop

was to prepare the students to tackle a variety of

complex filming situations through lectures and in

class filming exercises. By the end of the training,

the trainees had created several short films that

told strong stories about development which were

screened to an audience and were well received.
