Dawodu emphasised that the desire of government to provide a conducive environment for citizens regardless of social and economic position informed its decision to develop comprehensive policies and programmes for the promotion of right and privileges of orphans and vulnerable across the State.
Represented by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Youths and Social Development, Mrs. Yewande Flaugba, the Commissioner pointed out that the five-year project which is a collaborative effort of the Association of Reproductive and Family Health (ARFH) and the United State Agency for International Development (USAID) was designed to promote socio-economic sustainability.
He declared that the different approaches adopted strengthened the frontline social services workforce and management system, thereby uniquely responding to the needs of each child and household.
The organisation has collaborated with the State Ministry of Youths and Social Development and relevant stakeholders to develop a State Plan of Action (SPA) which is at the verge of completion in which all OVC and their households will be protected,” she stated.
