My name is Munachi
My answers are tailored to fit the community I reside in.
Tools that actually work power‑influence matrix, stakeholder register, social‑network mapping (WhatsApp groups, market/trade links), focus‑group discussions and short Google‑Form surveys.
Negotiation & communication tricks
listen first, turn positions into shared interests, speak plain Pidgin/Igbo, use radios & posters, set clear escalation steps.
Best practices for lasting inclusion
co‑create the problem definition, bring diverse voices (women, youth, disabled, religious leaders), publish budgets openly, build local capacities (climate‑smart farming, solar basics), form a permanent Community Resilience Committee with regular meetings and feedback loops.
CLEEN Foundation and Ota Local Council set up a Flood Response Committee (women, youth, farmer, imam, pastor, council tech officer). They meet monthly, share rain‑gauge data, use a WhatsApp group for real‑time drain alerts, and later rolled out a pilot solar‑minigrid — showing trust, continuity and sustainability.
