  1. Background of Project

CBM is working with Mentally Aware Nigeria (MANI) to deliver a Comic Relief funded Bridging the Gaps project which seeks to improve mental well-being for young people with mental and psychosocial challenges in Nigeria by building the capacity of MANI, a user-led organisation, as well as working directly with young people (face-to-face in Lagos and Imo States and the Federal Capital Territory, and online nationwide). Through the implementation of the project, CBM and MANI hope to see remarkable improvement in the mental well-being of young people in Nigeria by reducing stigma, improving mental health literacy at all levels and improving access to mental health services.

Impact:

Improved mental well-being for young people with mental and psychosocial disabilities in Lagos and Imo States, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Outcomes:

  1. MANI’s organizational capacity to implement mental health projects throughout Nigeria is strengthened.
  2. Student Advocacy Networks (STANS) for mental health are established in 4 Universities.
  3. Reduced stigma and improved attitudes and help-seeking and help-giving behaviors surrounding mental health amongst students and their support networks in the states.
  4. Children and young people with mental and psychosocial disabilities in 3 states of Nigeria experience reduced stigma and discrimination, increased understanding and support, and improved access to mental health services.

Context

Young people face new pressures based on rapid changes in society, including social media, cyberbullying, body image issues and rising unemployment. The education system over-emphasises exams and under-prioritises student wellbeing. Many university students also face the culture shock of rural-urban relocation, being far from home. Students from low-income homes worry about how to feed and clothe themselves whilst bearing immense pressure to graduate and get a good job to ease the family’s financial burdens. In Nigeria, most universities lack mental health support programmes and promotion activities. Statistics show a growing number of mental health challenges amongst young people, and suicide has been identified as one of the most common causes of death in this age group.

Culturally, young people do not have a voice in Nigeria and are often dependent on their parents into their late 20s. Due to the overwhelming prevalence of mental health stigma and poor mental health literacy, many young people feel unable to share their struggles with their parents (or other adults) for fear of either having their concerns dismissed as nothing (not real health issues), or suffering the consequences of stigma and misunderstanding (e.g. sent to prayer houses).

Existing mental health services are not accessible to young people because they are limited (Nigeria has around one psychiatrist per million people), require money, transport and/or approval from parents, and due to stigma from themselves, family, peers, schools and communities. Without a reliable community to turn to, or access to crisis support and other mental health services, young people often resort to substance abuse (a rising epidemic in Nigeria), and other unhealthy behaviours. Also, there has been a recent spike in reported suicides among students and Nigeria has the 7th highest suicide rate (overall) in Africa, yet attempting suicide is still a criminal offence, illustrating the prevailing and institutionalised levels of stigma and discrimination.

Despite MH challenges being most prevalent amongst adolescents and young adults, they are the least likely group to seek help or access professional care. Untreated mental disorders are associated with functional impairments, poorer education and employment opportunities, unhealthy behaviours and complications (including drug and alcohol dependence), and a greater risk for antisocial behaviour. This creates a significant burden for the young person, their family and friends, and society as a whole.

78% of people screened by MANI in 2018 identified as students. This project has been designed based on their experiences, and on survey feedback and interviews with students. The team of MANI volunteers who designed this project are students and recent graduates.

Young people’s mental well-being will improve in Nigeria by reducing stigma and improving access to mental health (MH) services. We’ll strengthen the capacity of MANI, a user-led MH organisation, to create Student MH Advocacy Networks to improve MH literacy in universities, schools & communities & develop a digital crisis intervention platform.

Young people (aged 6-25) experiencing mental health (MH) challenges across Nigeria, and particularly in the catchment areas of 4 universities in 3 states, will benefit from this project. The core group will be university students, who will conduct outreach activities in primary and secondary schools and communities.

The target states will be determined during the first year, after further research and stakeholder meetings. We aim to include one university in each of the South East, North, and South West regions to facilitate learning about what works in each context. In addition to strong links in other states, our partner, Mentally Aware Nigeria Initiative (MANI) is well-established in Lagos State, and so, the first two universities are likely to be there.

NIGER BASIN AUTHORITY-

REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST FOR REVISING THE NBA ADMINISTRATIVE, FINANCIAL AND ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES MANUAL (MPAFC) AND PROCUREMENT REGULATIONS.

NIGER BASIN AUTHORITY
REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (CONSULTANCY SERVICES)
SECTOR: ADMINISTRATIVE, ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL PROCEDURES MANUAL AND PROCUREMENT REGULATIONS
FUNDING: NBA OWN FUNDS

In 1964, the riparian countries of the Niger River and its tributaries created the Niger River Commission (NRC). In 1980, the Niger Basin Authority (NBA) replaced the Niger River Commission, with nine member countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Nigeria and Chad).

The NBA was assigned the mission to promote cooperation between member countries and ensure integrated development of the basin by developing resources in the fields of energy, hydraulics, agriculture, livestock, fishing and fish farming, forestry and logging, transportation, industry and communication.

The NBA has started the transition to the Programme Approach. To this end, an Institutional and Organizational audit was carried out in 2016 and completed in 2019. This audit specified the products and services expected of the NBA and a draft organizational chart was proposed by a regional workshop held in Niamey from March 12 to 14, 2020, pursuant to Resolution No.4 of the Extraordinary Session of the Council of Ministers held on November 26, 2019 in Abuja, Federal Republic of Nigeria. This draft organizational chart will be submitted to the next session of the Council of Ministers.

To take into account the identified shortcomings, the existing procedure manuals must be revised to adapt them to international standards in terms of organizational and management practices.

It is within this framework the NBA intends to finance the contract relating to the recruitment of a CONSULTANT (CONSULTING FIRM) CHARGED WITH

The overall objective of this consultation is to revise the Administrative, Financial and Accounting Procedures Manual and the Procurement Regulations with a view to improving NBA’s governance.
