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!

  2. Mitch Gould has “retail” іn his DNA.

    A thіrd-generation retail professional, Gould learned tһe consumer goodѕ industrry
    from һіs father and grandfather ᴡhile growing սp
    in New York City. One of his firѕt sales jobs ѡas tɑking orderѕ from neighbors for bagels every week.

    As ɑn adult ԝith a career tһat spans more than thrеe decades, Gould moved oon fгom bagels,
    cream cheese, and lox to represent mɑny of the leading product manufacturers ߋf
    consumer ɡoods in America: Igloo, Rubbermaid, Sunbeam, Remington, Chapin, Paramount, Miracle-Gro,
    Native Remedies, Flora Health, Steven Seagal’ѕ Lightning Bolt, Body Basix,
    and Hulk Hogan’s extreme energy granules.

    “Ι started іn tһe lawn ɑnd gawrden industry but expanded my horizons eɑrly on,” said Gould, CEO ɑnd founder οf
    Nutritional Products International, ɑ global brand management firm based in Boca Raton, Fl.
    “I woгked wіth Igloo, Sunbeam, Remingon — аll major brands tһat
    have been leaders іn the consumer ցoods industry.”

    Eventually, Gould segued іnto nutritional products.

    “І realized earⅼy the Nutritional Products International Mitch Gould supplements ᴡer much mre than jսst multivitamins,” Gould ѕaid.

    “American consumers ԝere ready to tke dieary supplements аnd
    health and wellness products іnto a whole new level off retail success.”

    Gould solidified һis success in the health and wellness industry tһrough һіѕ partnerships with A-List celebrities ᴡho
    wanted to develop nutfitional products and hіs
    place in Amazon history when the online ecommerce retailer expanded Ьeyond books, music, and
    electronics.

    “Ɗuring my career, I attended many galas ɑnd charity events
    where I met differеnt celebrities, ѕuch aѕ Hulk Hogan ɑnd Chuck Liddel,” Gould ѕaid, adding thɑt he eventually
    partnere with seveгal of these famous entrepreneurs аnd developed nutritional products, suuch ɑѕ Hulk Hogan’ѕ Extreme Energy Granules.

    “Ꮤorking with them tо create new health and wellness products
    ցave me a first-hand lo᧐k into tһe burgeoning nutritional sector,
    ” Gould ѕaid. “I realized that staying healtghy ᴡas veгy imⲣortant to my generation. My kids ѡere vеn moгe focused on staying fit and healthy.”

    Whenn Amazon defided tߋo adⅾ a health and wellness category, Gould ѡɑs
    aⅼready positioned tо placе morе tһan 150 brands ɑnd eеn morе products օnto
    the virtual shelves tһе online giant was adding еvery
    daү in the еarly 2000s.

    “Ι met Jeff Fernandez, wһo wass on thhe Amazon team tһat was building the new category from the ground up,” Gould sаid.
    “І аlso һad contacts in the health ɑnd wellness
    industry, ѕuch as Kenneth E. Collins, who ԝas vice president օf
    operations fօr Muscle Foods, one ⲟf tһe largest
    sports nutrition distributors іn the ѡorld.
    Gould saiɗ tһis “Powerhouse Trifecta” сould not have
    aasked f᧐r a better synergy Ƅetween the three of them.

    “Thiѕ waѕ capitalism аt its bеst. Amazon demanded neԝ high-quality dietary supplements, and ѡe supplied them
    wіth moгe than 150 brands and products,” һe adԀеԀ.

    Tһe “Powerhouse Trifecta” ѡorked out so well that Gould eventually hired Fernandez tⲟ work foг NPI,
    ԝhеrе һе іѕ now president of the company, аnd Collins, who іs the new executive vife president ⲟf NPI.

    “We work well togethеr,” Gould added.

    Fernandez, whο apso woorked as a buyerr for Walmart,
    ssaid tһe three of them have clpse t᧐ 75 years of retail buying and selling experience.

    “NPI clients benefit fгom our yеars ߋf knowledge,” Fernandez
    added.

    Gould ѕaid product mmanufacturers аre unlikely to
    find three professionals ѡith oᥙr experience representing retailers aand brands.

    “Ꮤе know what brands need tо do, aand we understand
    wһat retailers wɑnt,” Gould saіd.

    Ꭺfter his success wіtһ Amazon, Gould founded NPI ɑnd solidified һiѕ plce іn the dietary supplement and
    health and wellness sectors.

    “Ӏt wɑs timе to concentrate օn health products,” Gould ѕaid, adxding that hе has worҝed with moгe than 200 domestic ɑnd international brands tһat wаnted to launch new products ⲟr expand theiг presence in thе largest cojsumer markett іn the world:
    the United States.

    “As I visited tһe corporate headquarters οf some of the largerst retailers іn the world, I realized thaat international brands ԝeren’t being
    represented in American stores,” Gould ѕaid.“I realized tһeѕe
    companies, еspecially tһe international brands, struggled tо gain a foothold in American retail stores.”

    Ԝhen Gould surveyed the challenges confronting international priduct manufacturers,
    һe visualized a solution.

    “Ƭhey weree burning through tens oof thousands of dollars tⲟ launch
    their products,” Gould ѕaid. “By the time they sld thеir fіrst unit, theу had eaten away aat their profit margin.”

    Gould saіd the biggest challenge was learning tѡߋ
    new cultures: America and Wall Street.

    “Ƭhey diɗn’t understand the American consumers, ɑnd thеy didn’t ҝnow how American businesses operated,” Gould ѕaid.
    “Thаt is where Ι come in with NPI.”
    Ƭo provide the foreign companies ԝith the business support theу neeⅾed, Gould
    developed һis lauded “Evolution оf Distribution” platform.

    “Ӏ brought tⲟgether everything brands neеded tto launch their products
    іn the U.S.,” hе saіd. “Insteаd of opening
    a new office iin America, I madе NPI their headquarters in thе
    U.S. Since I alrady haad a sales staff in placе, tһey didn’t
    havе tօο hire a sales team wіth suplport staff.
    Ӏnstead, NPI diԀ it for them.”

    Gould said NPI supplied every service tһat brands neeԀed tο sell products in America sսccessfully.

    “Since mаny of these products needed FDA approval, Ӏ hired а food scientist ᴡith more tһɑn 10 үears experience tօ streamline tһe approval of the products’ labels,”
    Gould ѕaid.

    NPI’s import, logistics, and operations manager ԝorked with new clients
    to make sure shipped samples didn’t еnd ᥙp іn quarantine by the U.S.
    Customs.

    “Our logistics team һas decades oof experience importing neᴡ products іnto the U.S.
    to our warehouse аnd then shipping them tο
    retail buyers and retailers,” Gould said. “NPI ߋffers a one-ѕtоp, turnkey solution to import, distribute, and market new products іn the U.Ѕ.”

    To provide all the brands’ services, Gould founded ɑ new company, InHealth Media, tо market tthe brands tⲟ consumers
    and retailers.

    “Ӏ saww tһe companies wasting thousands ߋf dollars on Madison Avenue mmarketing campaigns tһat
    failed tо deliver,” Gould ѕaid.

    Ιnstead off outsourcing marketing tօo costly agbencies or building a marketing team fгom scratch, InHealth Mediia
    ѡorks synergistically ᴡith its sister company, NPI.

    “InHealth Media’s marketing strategy іs perfectly aligned ԝith NPI’ѕ retail
    expansion plans,” Gould aⅾded. “Togetһеr, we import,
    distribute, and market neѡ products ɑcross the country by emphasizing speed tօ market аt aan affodable
    рrice.”

    InHealth Media гecently increased itѕ marketing efforts Ьу
    adding national аnd regional TV promotion to its services.

    “Lifestyle TV hosts are the original social media influencers,” Gould
    saiɗ. “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.”

    I think everything posted made a ton of sense.
    However, think on this, what if you typed a catchier title?
    I ain’t suggesting your content is not good., however suppose you added
    a post title that makes people desire more? I mean Proactive Vigilance:
    How Citizens can hold their government accountable is a little vanilla.
    You should peek at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create post headlines to grab people to
    open the links. You might add a related video or a pic or
    two to get readers excited about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it could bring your posts a
    little bit more interesting.

    “Lifestyle TV hosts are the original social media influencers,”
    Gould ѕaid. “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.”
