A. Chief Projects Supervisor’s Certification
I have evaluated and endorse the monitoring and evaluation results presented
in this report. I have directed that the Action Plan developed to respond to
these results be implemented according to the timeframes indicated, unless
new information or changed resource conditions warrant otherwise. I have
considered funding requirements in the budget necessary to implement these
actions.
I find that there are no recommended changes to the AFYIDEF’S Projects
Management Plan at this time, and therefore it is considered sufficient to
continue to guide all our projects for the foreseeable future.

Mission Statement:
The mission will ensure that the foundation will make important contribution to
the socio-economic development to million of youth in Africa. This therefore
shall be done in collaboration with some of the knowledgeable expertise,
international bodies, and relevant Africa government ministries and agencies at
all levels.
Among Aims and Objective are as Following:
1. To liaise with international bodies in carrying humanitarian and
voluntary services in time of out break of diseases, war, natural disasters
and emergency situations.
2. To develop and train African Youths and members on how to contribute
to the economic development of their countries in with regards to career
prospects in socio-economic and cultural development.
3. To assist in the organization of rural youth forum towards the
development of skill acquisition, in arts and culture, and self
empowerment.
4. To initiate and execute programmes that will benefit the youths
5. To present ourselves as good ambassadors of Africa by promoting
continental integration and harmonious co-existence of diverse
communities in African society.
6. To promote the struggle for the education and protect rights of the girl
child, gender equality, and rights of children, especially the disabled in
Africa
Our Philosophy:
AFYIDEF sincerely believes and upholds the tenet that since knowledge is
self-acquired; the sustainable development of Africa can only be
conceptualized and actualized progressively through the conscientious
collective efforts of indigenous Africans. No imported economic strategies can
supersede home-developed economic tactics. Suffice the reason why AFYIDEF
approaches each sustainable development project’s funding and technology
support request with a bottom-up problem diagnostic survey, which helps to
identify the specific problems and involves the intervention seekers in the
evolution process of the succinct adoptable intervention strategies. We are not
money bags, we only help fellow Africans to dig deep down into their lost
traditional communal projects assistance etiquettes. AFYIDEF does not provide
interventions for tiny personalized projects that have infinitesimal multiplier
effects on the overall country’s GDP.
5
However, 2011 annual and (M&E) reports present a summary and analysis of
results accomplished at all AFYIDEF’s projects as it was enumerated in our
profile during Fiscal Years 2010/2011 till date. The Record of Decision (ROD)
for the new Management Plan Strategies (MPS or Plan, hereafter) and
accompanying Assessments Impact Statement was signed on December 10,
2010 and became effective on January 10, 2011. This report covers the period
of January 10, 2011 to December 30, 2011.
The report emphasizes the findings and conclusions that have been compiled
from various monitoring activities and data sources available on the unit. As
stated in Section 2 of the Plan, the monitoring and evaluation program is
designed to serve as an important link between implementation of the Plan and
on-the-ground accomplishments. For your convenience and reference, a more
complete excerpt of this section of the Plan is found in Appendix 1 of this
document.
Monitoring activities can range from day-to-day inspections of operations to
long-term research projects. They track how well our projects are moving
towards the stated desired conditions in the Plan. Evaluations serve as a
springboard to any needed changes within the Area Plan or its implementation.
The M&E program determines and informs the decision maker on whether:
 Goals and Objectives are being achieved;
 Design Criteria are being followed;
 Effects of implementation are occurring as predicted;
 Emerging or unanticipated issues are arising.
This report represents a variation to the way the AFYIDEF service M&E
reports have been presented in the past, in part because the Plan also
demonstrated a new way of thinking, but to also consider an approach that will
tier to a new M&E framework currently under consideration by the AFYIDEF
6
C. Activities:
The FY2010/2011 M&E / 2011 Annual reports demonstrate visibly there are a
number of initiatives underway over the past twenty months of implementing
the new plan and a good number of accomplishments have been achieved. The
full effect and resulting conditions of many projects cannot be measured until a
longer period of time has passed; however, and principally because the plan is
relatively new, this report has not identified any major deficiencies or
significant changes to the Plan that are needed at this time.
Some of the highlights of this initial 2011 annual report include:
AFYIDEF has moved ahead of the Plan objective for acres of fuels
reduction/prescribed fire program.

Projects:
1. YOUTH EMPLOYMENT/INCOME GENERATION SCHEME:
This project has made significant progress and on-the-ground activities
have caught the attention of other professionals, media, and the general
public. The Partnership efforts have supported several key
accomplishments on this project, and therefore the volunteer program
has grown steadily over the past two years.
2. According to the Emir of Nasarawa State, the regional tourism industry
surrounding AFYIDEF’S MINES & MINERAL SHOW PROJECT in
Nasarawa State is estimated to have increased by nearly N20 million
over the past one and half years. Visitation has been nearly flat during
this time, but was down slightly in FY10. Studies indicate Mineral Show
Project’s promotional activities have been very effective.

3. AFYIDEF-NATIONAL EDUCATION INTERVENTION SCHEME
(ANEDIS) is an initiative of African Youth International Development
Foundation (AFYIDEF), with the aim to provide scholarship, support
and provide adequate infrastructures to the Nigerian students, schools
and Institutions. The main objectives of this initiative amongst others
are:
 To initiate an all participatory process whereby all public and
private stakeholders will adequately provide requisite funding,
technology, and infrastructural support for Nigerian schools and
scholarship for all Nigerian students.
Having successfully launched ANEDIS on Thursday 4th July 2011 at the
National Merit House, Abuja, it has slightly exceeded the expectations of the
Plan.
 A letter of recommendation was giving to etisalat for sponsorship of
ANEDIS from the State House (please find attached a copy of the
letter). In replied to this letter, we were told that the package is being
receiving a good attention, and it will be executed in their next quarter
budget.
 Meeting with the Honourable Minister of Education on ANEDIS:
Below are the comments of the Hon. Minister of Federal
Ministry of Education, Professor, Ruqiyat during the courtesy call on
her by members of AFYIDEF on May 5, 2010 regarding
the ministry
involvement in ANEDIS.
 That we should write a power-point letter to the President/C-in-C
and copy the recently inaugurated C-in-C’s advisory council, which
we have done;
 And the letter should include the following facts:
 What we want from the government is collaboration, including policy
backing;
 The problems impeding the development of our project and how it
could be solved;
 How ANEDIS will add value to the lives of Nigerian students;
 The economy repositioning the education sector for home grown
rapid and sustainable development through all participatory
templates;
 Empower youths and Federal Polytechnic, Kaura Namoda
intervention projects;

This goal contains key emphases of the
AFYIDEF Constitution and reinforces the key
purposes described for AFYIDEF when created
in 2006. Optimizing efficiency and integration
of resources are also primary objectives of
AFYIDEF.
The results related to this goal will provide key
information about whether AFYIDEF is
meeting its legislated objectives and demanding
to national strategic goals.
Importance
What It
Tells Us
Emphasize partnerships and cooperation
with community groups, ngos, cbos, private
corporations, tourism organizations, and
government agencies.
“AFYIDEF will continue to be a destination
point for visitors throughout the region and
nation, thereby contributing to the local and
regional economy.”
Goal 2:
Sub-element - Generic Desired Condition

This goal contains important strategies for the
collaborative delivery of goods and services at
AFYIDEF. It also reinforces several of the key
purposes described for AFYIDEF when
created in 2006, namely to work cooperatively
with the gateway communities in support of
their strategic direction.
The results related to this goal will provide key
information about whether LBL is meeting its
stated objectives to work closely with partners
and communities and developing strong
relationships with local, state, and regional
organizations and publics.

E. Action Plan
AFYIDEF monitoring results did not establish the need for any major
actions or changes needed at this time. There are a number of minor actions
listed below recommended to aid in implementation of several program
initiatives outlined in the Plan, have some level of public expectation, or
have had limited progress towards the desired conditions. These action items
are drawn from narratives made in the preceding section of the report.
This report has not identified the need for any Plan amendments.
1. Action–Collaborate with the public to review, identify, and determine
backcountry or boat ramp facilities that are obsolete, excessively
expensive to maintain, and can be consolidated to fewer but bettermaintained facilities meeting today’s public service needs.
Responsibility–Project Monitoring & community relations Staff
Completion Date–Ongoing.
2. Action–Expand use of the “Respect the Resource”. Collaborate with
users to find creative ways that will lead to a noticeable improvement
in the scenic quality of AFYIDEF’S PROJECTS. The upcoming
MDGs 1-8 PROJECTS may offer the opportunity to begin this initiative
Responsibility– Project Monitoring & community relations Staff
Completion Date–January 1, 2011

The following section is excerpted directly from Section 2 of the project
Plan. It clearly articulates both the reasons to develop this report and the
methodologies being employed.

Monitoring and Evaluation
Monitoring constitutes an important link between the goals of the Projects
Plan and annual program accomplishments. The planning process has
identified key monitoring questions that address each of the priority goals
and objectives. The monitoring program will focus on some risks mentioned
previously while addressing suitable uses, use strategies, and design criteria.
Monitoring will track the wide variety of components of the Project Plan.
Roles and contributions identified include the AFYIDEF interdisciplinary
program specialist who will complete data gathering and evaluation of the
Project Plan’s implementation. Additionally, both the general public and
stakeholders will be involved to capture the perceptions of how successfully
AFYIDEF achieves the area wide goals and objectives. Monitoring will
track how well implementation of the Project Plan’s goals and objectives is
bringing the conditions of AFYIDEF to the desired conditions specified by
the Project Plan.
Because this Project Plan also supports the AFYIDEF National Strategic
Goals, the monitoring program will also weigh the Project Plan’s progress
and achievements in supporting these national goals. However, as these
national goals are likely to change over time as national issues and special
initiatives dictate, they were not included as formal goals of the Project Plan.
This monitoring program, therefore, will include a comparison of this
project Plan’s goals, annual AFYIDEF program accomplishments, and
current or future national goals as part of the monitoring process.
By applying the evaluation questions and measures for each project goal,
results and trends will provide a clearer picture of progress toward the
vision. The evaluation of monitoring information will measure how close
AFYIDEF is to reaching desired conditions identified in the Project Plan,
including goals, objectives, and susceptibility to emerging issues.
An important concept incorporated in this Project Plan is the continuing use
of some evaluation factors used in the analyses of the Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) alternatives. This approach allows for those EIS evaluation
factors to serve as benchmarks from which original assumptions can be
tested, and progress toward desired conditions can be measured.
Evaluations will serve as the springboard from which the resource specialist
can identify changes needed in the project plan or its implementation, or
research needed to clarify and address management issues. Results will also
be used to help set shorter-term (three-to-five-year) strategic direction, as
well as annual work plans. Existing strategies will be updated as needed,
based on these evaluations. Results will be reported annually in the Project
Plan M&E report. The Monitoring Summary Table in the Appendix (of the
Project Plan) includes a complete list of questions, measures, method of
collection, frequency, and responsible staff.
Note: items in italics are clarifications to the original section in the Plan,

H. Conclusion:
*While appreciating the role of stakeholders in several laudable developmental
programmes under AFYIDEF’s 2011 programme of activities, the Foundation
still avidly believes that much needs to be desired so as to accelerate Africa’s
sustainable development in year 2012 and beyond, such that African countries
can valiantly tackle the heinous realities of the global financial crunch, abject
poverty, disease, underdevelopment, smuggling, dumping, unfair international
market competitions, global warming, desert encroachment, deforestation,
drought, joblessness, insecurity, ethnic, communal and religious spars, which
have drably inhibited the sustainable development of our beloved continent
over the years. The 8 MDGs can be sufficiently met on or before year 2015
only if Africans unite to help themselves, and stop looking out for foreign loans
or aids which tend to perpetuate the economic slavery of Africans in Africa and
breed institutional and official corruption.
*As the Chinese proverb says, “Good news doesn’t stay a secret for long”. The
Executives and the entire members of African Youths International
Development Foundation (AFYIDEF) would like to extend our hearty gratitude
to our Patrons, Matrons, Partners and Sponsors who ensured the finesse of our
outstanding success in 2011.
