What is the Independent HCDT Monitoring & Evaluation System?
The Independent HCDT M&E Platform is designed by Niger Delta Stakeholders Initiative for Community Development and Empowerment (NDSICDE) to promote and enhance relevant stakeholders' (Host Communities, CSOs, government) participation in the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the Host Community Development Trust. The platform aim at fostering transparency and accountability by tracking and providing real-time data/reports on the status of establishment of HCDTs, level of delivery of projects and initiatives contained in the respective Trusts' development plan, efficiency of the HCDT conflict resolution mechanisms, level of host communities' participation (focusing on gender and social inclusion), and satisfaction with the implementation of the HCDT.
The overall goal of the Independent HCDT monitoring and evaluation system is to foster effective implementation of the Host Community Development Trust by providing insightful and evidence-based data for informed decisions.
