The Kwara State Government has sought the collaboration of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and Ministries that have children related activities so as to engender expeditious response to the challenges facing the vulnerable groups in the State.

The Commissioner for Social Development, Hon. Mariam Nnafatima Imam,  PhD,  stated  this recently while receiving Heads of NGOs and CSOs groups, in her office.

Hon. Mariam noted that it has become expedient that the NGOs and CSOs partner with the State Government in its bid to ensure better living condition for the vulnerable groups, children, downtrodden and other disadvantaged members of the State, reaffirming that the Governor, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq is committed to ensuring inclusive government where all sections of the society feel the impact of the administration, especially, those who are less privileged.

The Commissioner explained that fostering  collaboration with the NGOs, CSOs and Social Welfare Organisations will deepen interventions and service delivery to the plights of the disadvantaged members of the society, emphasising that enacting legal framework, providing emergency shelter and other interventions for the downtroddens would ensure  efficiency, improve service delivery and accountability in the implementation of policies and programmes for the less privileged citizens.

"Discussions centered on the establishment of a robust case management system, the provision of emergency shelters and the development of rapid response services for vulnerable children”, she said.

"This meeting is to emphasize the necessity for enhanced inter-ministerial collaboration, particularly, with the Ministries of Education, Health, Justice and Women Affairs, to ensure effective social welfare delivery. Further discussions addressed the development of adoption and fostering policies, inclusive services for persons with disabilities and capacity-building initiatives for social development professionals.

Hon. Mariam reassured the groups that the State Government will continue to be the frontliner in ensuring social welfare service delivery to all residents, especially, the less privileged, noting that collaboration with NGOs, CSOs and Ministries will accelerate impacts and robust social welfare service delivery.”

Earlier, the State Coordinator of Child Protection Network, Mrs. Anthonia Oshiniwe, commended the Commissioner for her foresight and commitment towards ensuring better living condition for the less privileged in the State, while appreciating the State Government for providing enabling  environment for NGOs and CSOs to operate seamlessly. 

Mrs. Oshiniwe implored the State Government to provide legal framework to address the plights of the vulnerable members of the society, noting that it would improve efficiency and accountability in the interventions delivered to the citizenry.
