The State Coordinator, Nigeria Community Action for Resilience and Economic Stimulus (NG-CARES), Mr. Henry Egbelo, has charged delivery platforms (DPs) under NG-CARES to maintain the tempo of activities in their platforms as they prepare to receive officials of the NG-CARES Abuja office in the State for a working visit.
He gave the charge during a pre-visit review meeting with delivery platforms in the State, held at the NG-CARES office number 4 School Road, State Housing Estate, Calabar, reiterating that the State came second in Nigeria and first in the South-South zone, a result of the hard work of all stakeholders in the project. He emphasized that it is important that the quality of service delivery is not compromised.
According to him, part of the objectives of the visit to the State is to assess the human impacts of NG-CARES and the resilient narratives, as the State remains a leading performer across all delivery platforms.
He used the opportunity to appreciate the Governor, His Excellency ,Senator Prince Bassey Edet Otu, for the support given to NG-CARES programmes in Cross River State and for providing a conducive environment for all platforms to carry out their activities effectively.
He also called on Information, Education, and Communication Specialists in all the delivery platforms to step up their efforts and give the project the needed publicity that will enhance greater public awareness of its activities.
Highlights of the meeting included updates on the status of each delivery platform, a question-and-answer session, and a group photograph. Delivery platforms in attendance included Labour Intensive Public Works (LIPW), Community and Social Development Agency (CSDA), State Cash Transfer Unit (SCTU), State Operation Coordinating Unit (SOCU), Medium and Small Enterprises (MSE), and Cross River FADAMA.
