2007CGS Implementation Progress Report (as at 09/05/08)

Access to rural communities. Lack of reliable and adequate baseline data. Duplication of borehole projects Maintenance of facilities provided by

government Lack of effective collaboration between

FCTA and Area Councils implementing agencies

Need for institutional strengthening and Capacity Building in the Area Councils

Strategic planning of developmental projects

Community involvement in the planning process (Use of PRA/Gap Analysis)

LESSONS OF EXPERIENCE

Integrated planning process that is community driven through CEEDS, LEEDS and FEEDS.

In 2years government will provide Water in 75% of the rural communities in FCT, provide access to basic health & education to 85% of the communities within 30mins.to 1hr. trekking distance.

Hoping for brighter future
