Coordination and Planning  A centralized observer deployment plan allowed observer groups to indicate where they planned to deploy observers and the number of observers to be deployed in each state, enabling the Foundation and its partners to identify gaps and overlaps in geographic coverage. A training framework was developed detailing the training structure, objectives and approach for CASE 2015. It included an overview of training content, schedules, venues, materials and target audiences. It also included a summary of participating civil society groups as well as simulation plan.

Increasing Awareness of Oil Resource Governance

Nigeria’s Oil Addiction

in Nigeria

Facebook Campaign Analytics from our Facebook page revealed a significant gender bias in followership: 91% of Facebook fans were men and only 9% women. To increase female followership we profiled fifteen young women professionals to highlight their contributions towards Nigeria’s development outside the oil and gas sector leading to a significant 50% increase in female Facebook followership.

Mrs. Ndidi Nwuneli, Founder, LEAP Africa Ms. Hannah Kabir, CEO, Creeds Energy

Mrs. Nwuneli’s post reached a total of 38,272 people with 43 comments, 287 liked and 21 shared. Ms. Kabir’s post reached a total of 31,680 people, 19 comments, 504 liked and 15 shared. Nigerian Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) - Simplifying the Fiscal Allocation and Statutory Disbursement Audit (FASD) The Audit served as a thorough examination and assessment of accounts and activities of stakeholders in the extractive sector. ORTI created flashcards, illustrations and info-graphics to simplify content of the FASD audit report. Collaterals will be used to create a booklet that will simplify complex issues surrounding how revenue is generated, who keeps and manages the revenue and its disbursement. The audit also examined remittances and management of special development funds such as Nigeria’s Excess Crude Account, Niger Delta Development Commission, Natural Resources Development Fund, Ecological Fund, Petroleum Technology Development Fund, Tertiary Education Trust Fund and Stabilization Fund.

Amara Nwankpa

Director, Public Policy Initiative, Yar’Adua Foundation. IT professional, social innovation enthusiast and advocate for good governance and national development.

In the lead up to the 2015 elections, dialogue that will impact policy platforms

of political parties and candidates can influence future-focused government

policies. Resource Governance cuts across many sectors, affecting all Nigerian

citizens. Discussion will focus on the important role of policy development,

planning, research and monitoring, public awareness, education and advocacy.

The Yar’Adua Foundation’s Oil Revenue Tracking Initiative was established to

increase public awareness and promote transparency in Nigeria’s oil sector. A

major achievement for the initiative has been the creation of a public space

for young citizens to engage on issues shaping national discourse around oil

resource governance.

Stakeholder Democracy Network (SDN) supports the formation and

development of a civil-society coalition as a platform to advocate for prevention

and adequate management of oil spills and an end to gas flaring in the Niger

Delta. They also mediate in inter-communal conflicts, local energy needs,

struggle against slum clearance, monitoring elections, dealing with corruption

and striving for environmental and social justice.
