The newly inaugurated members of the Donor Coordination Committee in Enugu State have promised to align their key projects with the state’s priorities in an effort to optimize resource allocation, avoid overlaps and waste, underutilization of resources and enhance desired development outcomes set forth by each of the donor agencies.
They gave the assurance at the Government House, Enugu, on Friday, during the inauguration of the committee set up to streamline the efforts and projects of the donor communities to prevent them from working at cross purposes.
Speaking during the inauguration, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Professor Chidiebere Onyia, who said the state had benefitted in the past from various donor-funded projects and initiatives, expressed concerns over the lack of centralized coordination of the bodies that could have brought them together for efficiency and cooperation.
He explained that the committee would help to provide strategic guidance and oversight for donor-funded initiatives, ensure alignment of donor activities with state’s development priorities and plans, foster synergy and avoid duplication of efforts among donor agencies and partners, and assist in monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness and impact of donor-funded projects.
The SSG further noted that the coming together of all the donor agencies and partners in the state would also facilitate communication and promote exchange in information sharing among stakeholders. “This will, in fact, provide a mechanism and coordinating structures to foster dialogue, information sharing, engagement, funding and maximization of efforts for Enugu State’s development cooperation.”
While stating that the Governor Peter Mbah administration has achieved visible and credible dividends of democracy across the state within a short period of time, Prof Onyia reiterated the government’s commitment to continue to work with all donor bodies and partners for a better society that will be of immense benefit to the people.
“This administration is keen on building strong and responsible institutions that will meet and solve the needs of our people. As you already know, the governor is working day and night to eradicate poverty through the right infrastructure, human capacity development and other empowerment programmes. Only on November 25, 2023, the governor fulfilled his promise of giving clean and potable water to the people. We are not resting on all these achievements. We are taking development to the last mile in the state,” he added.
Reacting, the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) Enugu Field Office led by Juliet Chiluwe, said the initiative by the state government was commendable as it would ensure accountability and transparency in the management of donor resources.
Speaking on behalf of other donor bodies at the meeting, Chiluwe said they would continue to strive hard to deliver and add value to the state through their various interventions.
She lauded the decisions the state had taken over the past few months, saying they had been milestone for the development of the state.
The members of the committee include, the SSG who will act as the Chairman, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Donor Relations, the Commissioners for Agriculture, Budget and Planning, Health, Finance, Special Adviser on Agriculture, Senior Special Assistant on Policy and Project Management, Senior Special Assistant on Infrastructure and Climate Finance, Senior Special Assistant on Revenue, Special Assistant on Revenue Generation and Monitoring, and the Executive Chairman, Enugu State Economic Planning.
Others are UNICEF Chief Field Office, Enugu, Water Aid Lead Team, World Health Organisation, Foreign Commonwealth Development Office, World Bank, Caritas Nigeria, Society for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (NEWSAN), New Sahara.
Also included are ad hoc members such as the Commissioner for Water Resources, Commissioner for Education, Commissioner for Youth and Sport, Commissioner for Gender, Commissioner for Human Capital Development and Poverty Eradication and Senior Special Assistant on Water, Sanitation and Hygiene.

Posted on Sep 07, 2024 at 01:48 PMEthical Leadership Centre, Enugu recognising visionary leadership is certainly a milestone towards 'making excellence the norm'. Big thanks to Chief Ben Etiaba for his tireless effort to improve our society and it's pillars.
Posted on Sep 10, 2024 at 09:51 AMYes Rangers! Our darling team was the hope of everyone across the niger to get thrilled and be happy. Rangers was the binding wire that bound the faith of the IGBO MAN together. Because the Igbos does not believe in anybody, rather the Igbo-man believes in self and God. He believes in what he can do for himself and others. Otherwise, how could a people in a war situation be cut off from outside world, they were not getting relief materials from the world bodies, no ammunition and the rest, and things got most trying and difficult. But in such horrible state of life, the IGBO-MAN produce the great bomb fondly called (Ojukwu bucket or Ogbunigwe) that destroys and kills in multiple folds, produced fighter jets which they used during the war, the Igbo-man produced his own fuel both for aviation and automotive uses. The Igbo-man started live again after the war with just twenty pounds only and excelled beyond imagination. Rangers FC was a reincarnated spirit of Igbo-man, that of course was the reason Rangers took over the football sphere in Nigeria shortly after it was founded in early 70's. Well let me come back before I go adrift Rangers International FC. I appreciate my brother Chief Ben Etiaba "Ifennia" founder Ethical Leadership Center Enugu, for the good job he is doing , especially in fishing out our men and women of substance who has paid their dues in their different callings and honouring them duly. Finally, my Congratulations goes to Dr. Joseph Ugboaja the Chief Medical Director Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi for his milestone achievement so far at NAUTH. I also congratulate the young enterprising Director of Rangers management board chief Ugboaku for his visionary leadership and achievements. God bless you all, and let the flame keep burning!
