HOW WE WORK

STATEMENT:

Due to an urgent need to resuscitate and recognize critical areas of highly needed interventions that will promote renewable energy, promote health, human rights, environment, education, food security, peace building, promote human development which sadly Nigeria; according to the results of the report of the United Nations Development Program (UNDPI) has released in 2015 report on global human development and Nigeria’s performance remains obstinately stagnant. As the current country’s economic activities continues to weaken according to Thisday Newspaper article of May 23, 2016 edition “ the nation’s economy performed woefully as well, as unemployment rate rose to 12.1 per cent in Q1 2016 from 10.4 per cent in Q4 2015. Underemployment also increased to 19.1 per cent from 18.7 per cent in the last quarter of 2015. The poor job numbers were on the back of 1.9 per cent expansion in the country’s labour force as well as 340,000 net reduction in the number of persons in full-time employment. This could be attributed to the inherent weaknesses in the Nigerian economy which is clearly having a toll on businesses and the nation’s ability to create jobs for its teeming young population,” the NBS said”.  Which signifies an urgent need to boost economy as well as diversify wealth locally in the grassroots in a constant multiplication of growths and success. Although this era of economic hardship/crisis, as explained and felt by the general public, can be turned into an avenue to encourage Nigerians to join efforts, by supporting the government initiatives, enhance citizen sectors, strengthen participation in decision making, mainstreaming gender participation into projects and programs maintain peace, law & order and engage in socio-economic participations for a practical achievable goals. By partnering with other international and local partners, local and international Consulting firms, MDAs, Embassies, High Commissions, CBOs, CSOs, NGOs, faith based associations, and communities in other to form a formidable team to solve this most critical problems. We further enhance our focus in specific humanitarian expertise and networks to contribute to the quality and coherence of initiatives in a number of focus sectors with the overall aim to improve the effectiveness of our humanitarian development schemes.

Our promise.

IIMGC share the same basic values more than ever for human rights, we share a common belief that all people deserve the opportunity to earn a dignified living which is why we designed and planned an innovative yet sustainable solution to end poverty and poverty related issues. This gave rise to unleashing empowerment and training the next generation by empowering them to become self-sustained.

Informed by our care-based values, we creatively combine enlightened innovative strategies to business practices and entrepreneurial intellectuals to provide roads out of poverty. Our work is not done until it is proven to be sustainable, replicable, scalable and measurable. No wonder the scope and effectiveness of our programs has a positive amazing effect on people. In all we do we never fail to show respect for our partners, associates, well-wishers and people from all over the world. We hope you are touched by our work, at home and around the world.

Before we approach a potential project we analyses every given aspect of the objectives, therefore we apply sustainable, measurable, achievable, time and cost effective approach through the following measures:

Questions are raised about every intervention and how we address the community needs. We review, balance, develop projects and interventions through the following assessment analysis:

 

  1.   Is the intervention necessary, if it is will the intervention address the problems?

  2.  Does it have a multiplier effect and if it does how it does benefit the community whilst maintaining the set objectives and goal.

  3.  Is it sustainable?

  4.   Does is require funding/grant making/fundraising and if it does how much of the funds is required?

  5.  Who will participate in the interventions?

  6.    How is the progress reviewed?

  7.  Will the progress reports be constant during projects?

  8.     Once the project has started, how often does the monitoring team assess the progression of the project?

  9.    Will it have a conclusive and sustainable effect?

 

However before any rational decision is drawn from any project, efforts must be made to ascertain the outcome of the intervention as not all interventions turn out to be effective as many end up causing more damage than good.

 

Therefore, IIMGC considers proper program/project evaluation more effective and this explains why the effect and impact of any project, can best be described as a cyclical process, because a good project evaluation brings up lessons and insights that can be used to improve existing projects and to formulate more effective projects in the future. If a project is one building block of a larger program, the entire program will benefit from those lessons learned, and the next phase of the program can be designed on the basis of the experience gained. So one should not really draw a circle to describe this, but a three-dimensional spiral, a staircase going up and around e.g what makes a good project? There are three yardsticks to measure the quality of a project:

 

  1. Does it really tackle the problem it sets out to address?

  2. Does the project have a credible “entry point”?

  3. Is it sustainable? Can it go on delivering its benefits after the external assistance has come to an end?

 

IIMGC’s approach is not entirely based on needs assessment but also keeping a close watch on potential risks. Lack of proper project implementation might cause the eruption of a more devastating effect ranging from the following:

 

  1. Ethnic/communal/political clashes over who gets intervention and aid/support.

  2. Improper data assessment/ mapping leading to insufficient/ less community reach and eventually a Low-quality target interventions.

Like the case of the IDPs, if the following are not put in place example hygiene/ sensitization/ stigma/ food/education etc can lead to more devastating effect like disease outbreaks, clash and eventually death.

 

Due to the effect of poverty and several other top level global issues as earlier mentioned we assume all program should perhaps be approached using the law of indices in other to maintain quality and deliver a sound project. IIMGC proposes a detailed project from start to finish that does not have a vague or ambiguous result.

 

The following methods are applied during processing:

 

  • Previous recorded data analysis for assessment purposes

  • Previous recorded failed projects and why it failed;

  • Evidence of logical planning framework;

  • Challenges;

•   Monitoring and Evaluation of activities and results;

•   Financial reliability;

•           A good exit strategy or handover to the community after ensuring sustainability will be maintained.
