‎Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation Launches Capacity Programme for Public Planners

‎
‎
‎The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation has launched a capacity building programme to train mid-level staff in Planning, Research and Statistics (PRS) departments across Nigeria’s federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs). The initiative is designed to strengthen governance and improve service delivery by equipping public planners with modern tools for strategic planning, data analysis, and policy implementation.
‎
‎The programme, developed in partnership with the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF) and the Central Result Delivery Coordination Unit (CRDCU), targets critical institutional gaps that have limited the effectiveness of public service planning. By focusing on accountability, performance tracking, and policy alignment, it aims to produce a more responsive public sector that delivers real benefits to citizens.
‎
‎Ofovwe Aig-Imoukhuede, Executive Vice Chair of the Foundation, explained the vision behind the project. “We believe in a Nigeria where every citizen can feel the impact of good governance, where children receive quality education, mothers have access to safe healthcare, and communities benefit from thoughtful planning and delivery. That future starts with strong public sector leaders who are equipped to plan, track and deliver results. This training is about empowering those leaders,” she said.
‎
‎Participants will be exposed to practical modules on monitoring and evaluation, digital planning tools, research methods, and data-driven decision-making. The Foundation noted that beyond technical expertise, the training would also encourage collaboration, innovation, and a results-oriented culture across MDAs.
‎
‎This latest effort builds on the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation’s longstanding commitment to public sector reform. In recent years, it has supported individual MDAs through targeted training in policy writing, communications, project management, and digital skills, alongside conducting needs assessments to identify areas of weakness.
‎
‎Founded by Aigboje and Ofovwe Aig-Imoukhuede, the Foundation is dedicated to improving lives through better public service delivery and increased access to quality healthcare. It also provides strategic support and funding to affiliate organisations such as ABC Health, the Private Sector Health Alliance of Nigeria (PSHAN), and the Nigerian Solidarity Support Fund (NSSF).
