SUMMARY:THE NIGERIA SOCIAL ACTION CAMP 2023
DESCRIPTION:THEME: SOLIDARITY FOR POPULAR PARTICIPATION AND RESTORATIVE DEMOCRATIC ACTION IN NIGERIA\nSince 1999\, Nigeria’s civic journey has taken a distressing turn\, characterized by diminishing democratic freedoms. A clique of self-serving godfathers who act with total impunity overshadow Nigeria’s political terrain. Their suspect democratic credentials\, propped up by doubtful election results and a bending judiciary\, steadily erode the nation’s democratic foundations. \nOn the other hand\, a growing civic awakening on the part of the youths awaits support to transform into a formidable popular movement. An oppressive and corrupt government cannot continue unchallenged forever! The Social Action Camp 2023 brings to the fore the urgency of revitalizing youth and civil society engagements\, pushing them to interrogate the post-2023 political landscape and rally the populace against looming authoritarianism. \nCURRENT STATE OF THE NATION: \nNigeria is caught in a whirlwind of challenges that transcend electoral concerns. While the 2023 elections spotlighted profound ethno-religious cleavages\, casting aspersions on institutions like INEC and the judiciary\, there’s more to the story. The nation confronts a surge in violence\, crime\, and displacement\, exacerbating the existing socio-political divides. The deteriorating economic landscape further strains the populace\, leading to increased hardship and disillusionment with a ruling class that appears more aloof with each passing day. Against this backdrop\, the demand for an all-encompassing\, unified movement for societal reform becomes louder. \nYouth-led movements did emerge during the 2023 election period\, yet they faced challenges in terms of ideological coherence\, longevity\, and purpose\, making them susceptible to absorption by entrenched political structures. \nTHE NIGERIA SOCIAL ACTION CAMP 2023: \nOver the years\, the Nigeria Social Action Camp has positioned itself as a nexus for deliberations and actions confronting Nigeria’s socio-political milieu. A converging point for the youth\, progressive factions\, and agents of social change\, the camp is a breeding ground for dialogue\, fostering solidarity\, and blueprinting transformative strategies. This year’s edition pivots around re-energizing the engagement of youths and civil societies to lead resistance movements on a grand scale. \nIn solidarity with partners\, from youth collectives to human rights advocates\, the camp sets the stage for robust debates to reignite youth-driven initiatives. Channelling the spirit and fervour of the pre-1999 pro-democracy movements\, the aspiration is to galvanize a movement rooted in accountability\, advocating for the fortification of democratic values and warding off the encroachments of autocracy. \nHOW TO REGISTER: \nThere are a few spots available for in-person participation. Click on the Registration button below and complete and submit the online form with accurate details. In-person spaces are not guaranteed due to high demand. \nApply Here

SUMMARY:THE NIGERIA RESOURCE JUSTICE CONFERENCE 2023
DESCRIPTION:THEME: Beyond COP 28: Localizing Climate Solutions for Nigeria’s Resilience \n Rockview Hotel Classic\, Abuja\, FCT | Monday\, 18th December\, 2023 \nIn the wake of COP 28 in Dubai\, the Nigeria Resource Justice Conference 2023 will be held in Abuja to examine international climate agendas further and to shape actionable strategies specific to Nigeria. At COP 27 in 2022\, developing countries advocated for improved funding to support victims of climate change\, especially in the global south. Since then\, progress in climate financing has been slow. With COP 28 ongoing\, there is an anticipation of new global resolutions. The Nigeria Resource Justice Conference 2023 will focus on incorporating COP 28’s outcomes\, particularly in climate adaptation\, finance\, and technology\, into Nigeria’s unique environmental and socio-economic context.

SUMMARY:Niger Delta Multi-Stakeholders Development and Accountability Summit 2024
DESCRIPTION:THE MULTI-STAKEHOLDERS SUMMIT \nGiven the significant developmental challenges facing the Niger Delta\, including infrastructural deficits\, widespread poverty\, and a declining quality of life\, Social Action and its partners propose the convening of a Multi-Stakeholder Summit. Themed “Building the Niger Delta Hope: Collaborating for Inclusive Development and Public Accountability\,” the summit aims to dissect the region’s developmental hurdles\, identify financial intervention gaps\, and bolster the accountability of development projects. Recent initiatives by the NDDC’s new leadership have highlighted a commitment to broadening the region’s developmental agenda by engaging private sector allies\, aiming to bridge the sustainability gap through coordinated\, impactful development efforts. \nIn alignment with this renewed focus\, Social Action and its collaborators advocate for the summit as a platform for collective reflection and in-depth analysis of prior development initiatives. The goal is to carve out a robust\, innovative path forward that is rooted in transparency\, accountability\, and exemplary governance. The summit is poised to unite a diverse array of stakeholders from both the public and private sectors\, along with community representatives\, to explore avenues for bolstering the NDDC’s operational efficacy\, ensuring service delivery that is inclusive\, accountable\, and impactful. \nSummit Objectives \nThe summit is guided by three core objectives: \nEnhancing Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue: To facilitate a broad-based conversation aimed at reimagining the NDDC’s role and unlocking new avenues for transformative regional development. \n  \nCultivating Collaboration: To strengthen partnerships among diverse stakeholders\, thereby propelling forward the Niger Delta’s developmental agenda. \nEmbedding Accountability: To integrate principles of accountability into public projects\, addressing the profound developmental needs of the Niger Delta and fostering inclusive\, sustainable growth. \nAccountability in Divestment Process: The Summit will promote discussion on enthroning accountability in IOCs Divestment and the need to address historical environmental challenges that plague the region. \nPARTNERS AND PARTICIPANTS TO THE SUMMIT \nSocial Action Nigeria\, supported by the MacArthur Foundation\, collaborates with the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC)\, the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC)\, and other key stakeholders to host the Niger Delta Multi-Stakeholder Development and Accountability Summit. This collaborative effort aims to bring a diverse range of perspectives and expertise to the table\, ensuring a comprehensive approach to addressing the region’s challenges. \nThe summit will gather a wide array of participants\, including representatives from the donor community and development agencies\, policy analysts\, experts from the private sector\, professionals from due process institutions\, members of professional organizations\, legislators from the region\, academics\, community leaders\, and representatives from women’s and youth organizations\, as well as civil society groups. This diverse participation is expected to foster a rich dialogue and contribute to the formulation of actionable strategies for development and accountability in the Niger Delta. \nEvent Details \nProposed Date: March 7\, 2024 \nVenue: Osborn La Palm Royal Resort\, Off Abacha Road\, Port Harcourt\, Nigeria

SUMMARY:Twitter Blast: No Divestment without Clean-up: Hold SPDC Accountable for Environmental and Social liabilities in the Niger Delta
DESCRIPTION:This is to invite you to a social media campaign taking place on twitter which is tailored towards calling out Shell and SPDC on their divestment processes and to demand for accountability for the Niger Delta people.\nThis divestment must be subjected to the rigorous pre-conditions set forth by Nigerian law\, reflecting a commitment to the environmental and resource justice that the Niger Delta peoples have long fought for. \nWe insist that Shell must be held accountable for decades of environmental degradation and human rights violations. A transparent resolution process must be established\, ensuring Shell’s full accountability before any transfer of ownership.\nHence\, we appeal to you to press down your thumbs and tag all relevant bodies.
