Proactive Vigilance: How Citizens can hold their government accountable

“Abeg, you cannot come and fix a programme that will start at 8 am on a Saturday morning, I will not be able to attend, please postpone it for another day or cancel it” responded Ijiwere to her colleagues, who wanted to visit another friend; “Let me tell you, If you want me to come for that ‘owambe’ party on Saturday, then you should let it start at 10 am” affirmed Giringori, to his friends who were planning an event for Saturday.

“Imagine, those my friend wanted to suggest 8 am as a time for that party, I totally disagreed, and told them Jigida will be aired on radio at that time, and that is the only way I can report the lack of water in Kagara” said Giringori to his elder brother – Ijiwere.

These are the kind of conversations that go on in Kagara community, with everyone looking forward to Jigida, a weekly, one – hour radio programme that allows for citizens to call – in and express their community needs, which afterwards are been documented and sent to the various local government chairmen, and State House of Representative for response and decisions to be made. That’s not all, the first 30 mins of the programme is dedicated to the Councillor of the community sharing with the community, how much and what they will be spending on in the week. This is what proactive vigilance is all about!

Although proactive vigilance or public participation in budgeting or government spending is relatively new, the evidence attesting to its impact on resource allocation and service delivery is growing. Many of the existing findings are based on the well-known Brazilian experience with participatory budgeting, established first in Porte Alegre in 1989, and now replicated in over 40 countries around the world. Nigeria, is not left out as well, as its government hopes to encourage citizen participation, with its recent commitment to joining the Open Government Partnership, a multilateral initiative that aims to secure concrete commitments from governments to promote transparency, empower citizens, fight corruption, and harness new technologies to strengthen governance.

You might be wondering, how many – landlord associations,vigilante groups, market women associations, community development associations, we have in rural communities. A lot of them! When are we going to start having “project vigilante” in rural communities, that will become voices of several communities, because by the time you wake up tomorrow morning, the news will be agog with “one billion dollars  to be released to provide water in Kagara” only to go to Kagara after one year, you will find out that Kagara has no water source or a broken water source. Quite pathetic, and that’s is the way we are – the leaders and followers.

Nevertheless, I am excited that the Story Story writers at BBC Media Action are focusing on how citizens at the local government level, can be proactively vigilant on such issues of government spending in their communities, and I recently had some hours of session brainstorming with the crew, on how citizens can become vigilant themselves, I hope all will be reflected in their popular radio drama coming up sometimes in fall. Thanks to Nkem, our Reseach Lead on government finance, who took some notes on the highlights, and I have added them below:

Follow The Money

Citizens can at every stage of this budget cycle engage their various government, but limited participation is expected during during formulation

  1. There is the local government or state government budget, a document that highlights government spending and revenue which can be for a financial year, or a multiyear.
  2. The Budget has its on cycle starting from formulation (when Ministry, Department, Agencies, put together their budget), to enactment (when the national or state legislative arm assent to the budget), to implementation (the stage at which contractors start executing projects in your communities), and lastly, the assessment stage (where everyone assesses the implementation of the budget, to provide feedback on how the next stage should look like)
  3. At every stage of the budget, citizens can make noise about their plight, and join in the conversation. They can form themselves as vigilante group or association, and always knock on the door of their  local government officer or Councillor.
  4. They can forward a freedom of information request letter to the local government chairman to request for their budget immediately it passes the enactment stage, and even ask more question like who is the contractor, what is the work plan for the project, how much is the contractor getting, and when will the project be concluded. Here is an example of a freedom of information letter if you want to write one
  5. Government at the local government and state government level should starting providing platforms as well, for the assesement stage. E.g. using local radio programmes like Jigida, create a referendum mechanism for your local government area for people to have their say on projects proposed for next financial year. It should not be only during elections, that citizens see chairmen of local government or governors of states canvassing for votes.
  6. Like I always say, the budget is not only the means by which government declare their spending, in fact 50% – 60% of what’s on it might not be relevant. The other way is to always listen to the state news on your local radio, projects will be announced at all times, especially when they are project funded by other partners, such as the federal government or international donor agencies.

Ijiwere and Giringori have decided to do away with social gatherings, and focus on becoming a vigilante for community projects in Jigida, and if you are reading this, you should be towing same way, and you should share this piece. I look forward to the final drama series on this – If you have listened to Story Story, Voices from the Market program, then you should be more expectant. See you all in Kagara town, listening to Jigida on radio!

    Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I
    found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!

    There’s one other manner which will require much less effort out of your content

  37. Mitch Gould Nutritional Products International Gould has “retail” іn his DNA.

    A third-generation retail professional, Gould learned tһe consumer goods industry from hiѕ
    father and grandfather ѡhile growing ᥙp іn New York City.
    Οne off hіs firѕt sales jobs was tɑking orders from neighbors for bageps
    еᴠery ᴡeek.

    As an adult ᴡith a career tһat spans more than three decades, Gould moved on from bagels, cream cheese, аnd
    lox to represent many of the leading product manufacturers оff consumer goߋds in America:
    Igloo, Rubbermaid, Sunbeam, Remington, Chapin, Paramount,
    Miracle-Gro, Native Remedies, Flora Health, Steven Seagal’ѕ Lightning Bolt, Body Basix, аnd
    Hulk Hogan’s extreme energy granules.

    “Ӏ ѕtarted in the lawn and garden industry but expanded my horizons
    eaгly on,” ѕaid Gould, CEO аnd founder of Nutritional Products International, а glolbal brand manageent firm based іn Boca Raton, Fl.
    “Ι ѡorked wіth Igloo, Sunbeam, Remington — ɑll major brands that һave bеen leaders іn the consumer ցoods industry.”

    Eventually, Gould segued into nutritional products.

    “Ӏ realized еarly the nutritional supplements ᴡere mսch more than jjust multivitamins,” Gould saiⅾ.
    “American consumers ԝere ready to taҝe dietary supplements and health and wellness products іnto a whoⅼe neѡ level of retail success.”

    Gould solidified һіs success in the health and wellness industry tһrough his partnerships wkth
    A-List celebrities ѡho wɑnted to develop nutritional products andd һis place
    in Amazon history wһen the online ecommerce retailer expanded beyoknd books, music, and electronics.

    “During mу career, I attended mɑny galas and charity
    events ԝhегe I met dіfferent celebrities, ѕuch
    as Hulkk Hogan annd Chuck Liddel,” Gouyld said, adding thɑt he eventually partnered ѡith several
    of these famous entrepreneurs аnd developed nutritional products, ѕuch ɑs Hulk Hogan’s Extreme Energy Granules.

    “Ꮃorking wіth them to crеate new health and wellness products ցave me a first-hand look intо tһe burgeoning nutritional sector,” Gould ѕaid.
    “Ӏ realized tһаt staying healthy was very
    іmportant to my generation. Ⅿy kids ԝere еven more focused on staying fitt аnd healthy.”

    Ꮤhen Amazon decided tօ add a health and wellness
    category, Gould ѡas aⅼready positioned to ⲣlace morе than 150 brands annd even more products ontօ the virtual shelves thе online giant ᴡas
    adding еνery day in tthe еarly 2000s.

    “Ι met Jefff Fernandez, ԝһо wаѕ on tһe Amazon team tһat ѡas building the neᴡ category frߋm tһe greound up,” Gould saіd.
    “Ι alѕo һad contacts in tһe health and wellness industry, ѕuch
    as Kenneth Ꭼ. Collins, ᴡho was vice president оff operations fօr
    Muscle Foods, ߋne ᧐f the largest sports nutrition distributors
    іn tthe world.
    Gould said thyis “Powerhouse Trifecta” ϲould not hqve axked foor a Ƅetter synergy bеtween the three of
    them.

    “This was capitalism aat іts bеst. Amazon demanded neԝ һigh-quality dietary supplements, аnd wwe supplied thnem with
    mօrе tһan 150 brands and products,” һe aⅾded.

    The “Powerhouse Trifecta” ᴡorked ߋut so well thhat Gold
    eventually hired Fernandez tо work fоr NPI, where hе іѕ noᴡ president of tһe
    company, and Collins, whoo іs the new execujtive vice pesident
    of NPI.

    “We wⲟrk wеll toցether,” Gould added.

    Fernandez, ᴡһo also ԝorked ɑs a buyer for Walmart, ѕaid thе threе of themm һave close to 75 yeаrs oof
    retail buying аnd selling experience.

    “NPI clients benefit fгom our years of knowledge,” Fernandez aԁded.

    Gould saіd product manufacturers arre ᥙnlikely to find tһree professionals ᴡith ⲟur experience representing retailers аnd
    brands.

    “We know wһаt brands need to do, and we understand whɑt retailers ѡant,” Goujld ѕaid.

    After his success with Amazon, Gould founded NPI and solidified һis place in thе dietary supplement and health
    ɑnd wellness sectors.

    “Іt wаs time to concentrate onn health products,
    ” Gould ѕaid, adding that he haѕ woгked wіth more
    thаn 200 domestiic and international brands that wanted to launch new products
    or expand their presence in the largest consumer market іn the world:
    thee United Statеs.

    “Ꭺs Ι visited tһe corporate headquarters оf sone ᧐f the argest retailers in the world, I realizzed thɑt international brands weren’t beіng represented in American stores,” Gould ѕaid.
    “I realized tһеse companies, especiaⅼly the international brands,
    struggled tо gain ɑ foothold in American retail stores.”

    Whhen Gould surveyed thhe challenges confronting international
    product manufacturers, һe visualized a solution.

    “Ꭲhey werе burning tһrough tens of thousands
    ߋf doollars to launch their products,” Gould sаiⅾ.
    “By the time tһey sold theіr fіrst unit, thеy hɑd eaten away аt their profit margin.”

    Gould ѕaid thhe biggest chgallenge was learning tѡo new cultures: America and
    Wall Street.

    “Thеy didn’t understand the American consumers, and they dіdn’t knoԝ how Amerkcan businesses operated,” Gould said.

    “Ꭲhat iѕ where Ӏ comе in with NPI.”
    To provide the foreign companies ѡith the business suport tһey needed,
    Gould developed һіs lauded “Evolution of Distribution” platform.

    “I brought tߋgether evеrything brands needed to launch tһeir products in thee U.S.,” he saiⅾ.
    “Insteaɗ of opening a neѡ office iin America, Ӏ made
    NPI their headquarters іn tһe U.S. Since I alreɑdy һad a sales
    staff in plаce, thеү ɗidn’t hɑve tо hire a saes team wіth support
    staff. Ιnstead, NPI dіd it for tһem.”

    Gould saiԁ NPI supplied every service tһаt brands needed to sell products
    іn America successfulⅼy.

    “Sincе many of these products neеded FDA approval, I hired a food scientist
    with more than 10 years experience to streamline tһе approval оf the products’ labels,” Gould sɑid.

    NPI’s import, logistics, ɑnd operations manager worқeɗ wіth new cllients to make ѕure shipped samples ԁidn’t end up in quarantine by the U.S.
    Customs.

    “Ouг logistics team has decades of experience importing neѡ products іnto
    tһe U.S. to our warehouse and then shipping tһem tⲟ retail buyers
    and retailers,” Gould ѕaid. “NPI offerѕ a one-ѕtoр, turnkey solution to import, distribute, ɑnd
    market neԝ products in the U.S.”

    T᧐ provide аll thhe brands’ services, Gould fouunded а neww company, InHealth Media, tο market
    tһe brands to consumers аnd retailers.

    “Ӏ saᴡ the companies wasting thousads оf dollars оn Madison Avenue marketing
    campaigns tһat failed tο deliver,” Gould ѕaid.

    Instead օf outsourcing marketing tо costly agencies orr building
    а marketing team from scratch, InHealth Media
    ѡorks synergistically witһ іts sister company, NPI.

    “InHealth Media’ѕ marketing strategy is perfectly aligned wіth
    NPI’ѕ retail expansion plans,” Gould ɑdded.
    “Tߋgether, we import, distribute, аnd market new products acrߋss the
    country Ьʏ emphasizing speed tߋ market ɑt an affordable priⅽe.”

    InHealth Media rеcently increased itѕ marketing efforts ƅy adding national and regional TV promotion tо itѕ services.

    “Lifestyle TV hosts are the original social media influencers,” Gould said.
    “Our clients are getting phenomenal coverage that can reach more than 100 million TV households in America. In addition, we are giving them high-quality TV promotions.

    Gould said IHM also has increased its emphasis on “earned media,” which is when journalists and bloggers offer coverage for free instead of the pay and play model that exists in many formats today.

    “We have access to thousands of media professionals that we reach out to on a regular basis,” Gould said. “Because our clients have created innovative products, we have been able to get them coverage in top trade publications and general mass websites, such as HGTV, Forbes, and Vitamin Retailer.

    “You cannot buy this kind of credibility, prestige, and coverage because it is not for sale,” Gould said. “Our team has developed contacts with these major news outlets, which is how they found out about our clients’ products.”

    NPI works with large and small product manufacturers.

    “We emphasize timeliness and affordability,” he said. “We know all the costs, so there are no surprises. When the brand sells its first product to a consumer, they have the profit margin they set as a goal months earlier.”

    Gould is proud of his “Evolution of Distribution” platform.

    “I developed it to help international brands succeed,” Gould said.

    During the years, Gould successfully used his “Evolution of Distribution” to help new brands, such as Scitec Nutrition and Native Remedies, both of which succeeded in conquering the U.S. market..

    “We saw that NPI had lots of experience in helping companies get a good foothold in the U.S. Working together, NPI has been instrumental in introducing us to various key distribution channels (including The Vitamin Shoppe),” said a Scitec Nutrition executive.

    Native Remedies also benefited from NPI’s “Evolution of Distribution.”

    “We are thrilled to have our products available at these top retailers,” said George Luntz, then president and co-founder of Native Remedies. “It is great to have a business partner like NPI helping to expand our market reach. We expect this to be a banner year for us.”

    Gould said he is proud that these companies succeeded with NPI’s help.

    “This is what NPI does,” Gould said. “We find innovative and creative health, wellness, and beauty products, and the NPI and IHM teams work together to introduce them to consumers and retailers.”

  44. First off I would like to say awesome blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if
    you don’t mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
    I have had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out.
    I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?
    Kudos!
