Business Unusual Builds Financial Resilience During COVID-19 Pandemic
COVID-19 Response and
Recovery Plan-CREP (2020-2030)
Theme: To Empower
Communities to Thrive
Sub-theme: Motivation
Rooted in Resilience
Our work with Champions (Community Mobilisers) and as a team
makes it possible to mobilise a large group of beneficiaries to form
enterprising networks.
We run a resource center; a virtual work platform on which
we are able to disseminate information; have developed small-scale businesses
run by our beneficiaries including Champions.
We have been able to collect money which we used to pay for
office space, administrative and other costs.
However, to enable us sustain the progress we have achieved it requires
money to support such an initiative.
This is why we came up with the COVID-19 Response and
Recovery Plan-CREP 2020-2030. The seed money we intend to use will be used to:
make savings; to pay subscriptions for Cooperatives; subsistence; utilities;
rent; reinvestments.
The Advocacy Network Africa (AdNetA) Board of Directors
approved a COVID-19 Response and Recovery Plan-CREP (2020-2030) for 90 CBOs in
which it is hoped we shall reach out to about 3,700-5,400 beneficiaries
including refugees.
This plan will help to address key challenges in promoting
quality life practices as well to provide catalytic support and funding to help
beneficiaries address areas not yet fully serviced by different
initiatives.
The project activities are aligned with the strategic
objective of providing quality services for sustainable development. We aligned ourselves with different plans
which place great emphasis on linking quality health promotion and labour
market.
The plan also draws from the different plans for response
and recovery against COVID-19 which focuses on improving the quality of life,
through: (i) improvement of quality life goals, outcomes and impact of
day-to-day investments; (ii) development of relevant quality life promoting
skills; (iii) improved social relations outcomes and (iv) improved efficiency
and effectiveness in use of available resources.
The plan was designed with strategic input from the
Community-Based Planning Teams (CBPT), and builds on piloted programmes
supported by both Government and Development Partners, the donors, CSOs, NGOs,
FBOs, Local Governments and well-wishers.
The plan is well aligned with the quality life goals: (i)
Ensuring that all beneficiaries master basic literacy and numeracy necessary to
pursue life’s dreams; and (ii) building systems that have capacity and
integrity to deliver, support and promote quality of life. The plan focuses and
is targeting resources which serve the most marginalized groups in urban poor
settlements.
The plan is aligned with strategies on (i) Poverty reduction
and boosting shared prosperity. (ii)
Participatory Prevention Strategy (PPS), which promotes reaching out to make
alliances in which it is possible to access traditional altruistic and
philanthropy safety nets; investment of time and resources in participating,
involving oneself in education of any kind, early, smartly and for all. The
plan is also in line with the World Bank Country Partnership Strategy (CPS)
which outlines the importance of: (i) human resource development to help people
in Africa realize their full potential and to live in dignity, reduce
inequality and social exclusion to develop shared prosperity; and (ii)
improving skills development, notably for marginalised young people.
PLAN COMPONENTS:

management and accountability
The plan targets to improve
capacity for engaging in income generating activities (IGA) on a regularized
basis.

evidence-based financial independence policy development.
The Activities include: (i) Strengthening the Data
Management Information System (DMIS) to make data more available, reliable and

dissemination of results; and (iii) Enhancing the capacity to develop policies
with respect to system equity, efficiency and quality, for example through
support to consolidate all guidelines and regulations on quality standards and
assessment procedures.
