FOUR: DEVELOPMENT WORK means “the process(es) of formulating/conceptualizing, planning, implementing, monitoring, evaluating, auditing, improving, and expanding valued or service-oriented social, economic, political and faith-related works/issues/services, programmes, projects, policies, practices, documentations, results, changes and items; in participatory/mainstreaming manners/approaches among humanity, indigenous people, citizens, those marginalized, in the communities and all the fields of human endeavour; including without limitation, all deliverables, materials, inventions, designs, notes, records, memoranda, documents, models, prototypes, scale-ups, and other materials, as well as all enhancements, derivatives, and modifications thereof, and all target, input, output, outcome, impact, and intellectual property thereto.”^[1]

FIVE: 'SUSTAINABLE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION (SCP)' is a development model espoused by Afrihealth Optonet Association in 2017-18 in Nigeria's Niger Delta region; with funding support from the United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF).

• Sustainable Citizen Participation (SCP) means that governments involve citizens in policies formulation, planning and execution of the society’s activities, such that citizens will be able to engage with their government and leaders on a regular and sustained basis; as currently, majority of the citizens are only able to interact with their governments/leaders at the latter’s leisure.

• Sustainable Citizen Participation (SCP) will entail the redistribution of power that enables the have-not citizens, presently excluded from the political and economic processes, to be deliberately included. It is the strategy by which the have-nots join in determining how information is shared, goals and policies are set, tax resources are allocated, programs are operated, projects are designed, implemented, monitored and benefits like contracts and patronage are parceled out. In short, it is the means by which they can induce significant social reform which enables them to share in the benefits of the affluent society.

SIX: The Benefits of belonging to Afrihealth Optonet Association (AHOA) - CSOs Coalition/Network and Think-tank

Afrihealth Optonet Association (AHOA) is a community-focused CSOs coalition/network and think-tank of about 1000 organizations especially in the global South promoting of Sustainable Citizens Participation in Development Work and Systems Strengthening for the achievement of Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Agenda 2063; and exploring the nexus/interlinkages between Health [Universal Health Coverage, HIV/AIDS, TB, FP/RH and Malaria - prevention, treatment, impact mitigation, care and support]; Vaccinations/Immunizations; Preventing/Controlling poverty-related Diseases; Nutrition and Food Security; Energy and Environment (including renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy conservation, climate change, biodiversity and ecosystems); and Gender/Women and Girls, Empowerment, Good Governance, Democracy and Human Rights. Incorporated in Nigeria as a not-for-profit, non-religious and non-partisan registered trustees in 2003, AFRIHEALTH uses Partnerships/Collaborations (public-private partnerships or PPP); Advocacy and Mobilizations; Research/Evidence-Generation (reviews, assessment, oversight, conferences, symposiums, seminars); Capacity Development/Training and Organizational Strengthening; Outreaches/Community Interventions; and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) - called PARCOM Strategy to achieve its objectives. Its target/focus beneficiaries include rural and poor urban/suburban communities/settings, marginalized, vulnerable and disadvantaged populations/groups especially women, girls, widows, youth, children, adolescents, the elderly, poorest of the poor, infants and orphans. Afri-health Optonet Association has a Consultative Status at the United Nations ECOSOC.

The benefits of becoming a member/partner of AFRIHEALTH Optonet Association are by no means exhaustive, and include:

1. Members/partners are able to broaden their base of support to submit proposals for funding and support, access opportunities and receive mutual benefits in the magnitude they could not gain individually or on their own;

2. Individual members/partners from various countries and diverse cultures are provided with the platform and opportunity to engage and collaborate with each other for the greater good of all, while retaining their independence;

3. Members/partners gain leverage and improve their negotiation results through the banding together of older, bigger and/or stronger organizations with other relatively newer, smaller and/or weaker ones in AFRIHEALTH; who are thereby able to harness/access the resources needed to successfully face tough situations;

4. Members/partners can focus on their strengths while relying on the supports/strengths of other Network partners in other areas and still share in the accomplishments with other members/partners;

5. Members/partners who might otherwise lose opportunities in competition with one another, shall now join forces to negotiate in a mutual, collective and organized manner with funders, development partners, international bodies, governments, embassies/foreign missions, businesses, political parties, etc. in a win-win situation for everyone;

6. By combining efforts and sharing experiences and resources, AFRIHEALTH members/partners learn from each other, receive capacity building support, acquire new skills, and broaden their knowledge, income and abilities;

7. By sharing resources, members/partners of AFRIHEALTH mutually benefit from the maxim of “the sum is often greater than the parts”, as shared resources often mean that the Network partners/members can overcome deficiencies together;

8. Development requires money, people and time; and the increased number of organizations/people in the Network usually means that it will take shorter/less time and cost less to accomplish an objective with the combined effort;

9. Different organizations/partners coming together in AFRIHEALTH shall provide diversity for each member-organization to broaden its reach and accomplishments by working with other organizations that are associated with the same or similar health and development issues or causes.
