0. Executive Summary
This document rests on the philosophy and institutional track of Civil Society Legislative
Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) carefully crafted since 2007. CISLAC hereby presents the 2017-
2023 strategic plan, which emerged from extensive consultations with our civil society
partners, especially Transparency International, members of the Zero Corruption Coalition
(ZCC). Main development partners such as Department for International Development
(DFID), MacArthur Foundation, United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation, USAID (Strengthening Advocacy and Civic Engagement) PACT Nigeria,
UNSDG, OXFAM, Save the Children, PLAN International, National Assembly, National
Planning Commission, Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI), National
Institute for Legislative Studies (NILS) and others have also provided their valuable input
through a round of workshops and bilateral consultations in 2016-2017. The Board of CISLAC
has approved the Strategic Plan on 27th of September 2017.
This document comes in the context of challenging times for Nigeria. The protracted
economic recession caused by low revenues from oil has nocked millions of people out of the
job market. Contrary to the global trend, Nigeria witnesses the growth of poverty reaching 1alarming 62% of the population living below poverty line in 2016. The average life
expectancy is only 53 years, average years of schooling stand at 9 with the highest rate of 2children out of school in the world.
The governance domain in Nigeria is characterised by combative political nature along
religious and ethnic lines. Grand corruption within the political elite continuous shocking the
world and the public sentiment loses the initial enthusiasm, which came with the 2015
presidential elections and promises made to tackle vast plundering of public resources. The
challenging security environment may be a symptom on political dysfunctionality and weak
economic performance. Nigeria faces a number of instabilities in the North East with
continuous Boko Haram insurgencies, incessant threats in the Niger Delta region and
increasing crime rate across the country.
In view of this development, CISLAC outlined its vision as [a] Nigeria where legislators and
policy makers are safeguarding citizens' rights and welfare while citizens effectively
demand accountability. The corresponding mission guiding this document and by extension
CISLAC for the next five years is to engage state and non-state actors for improved policy
and legislative frameworks, transparency and accountability in governance for people
oriented development. The strategic goal for CISLAC in 2018-2023 is [to] make
government accessible, responsive and accountable to citizens.
To achieve this goal, this strategic plan identifies six strategic axes within CISLAC portfolio.
Strategic axis 1 focuses on the support to democratic process in Nigeria, mainly through
the formulation, implementation and monitoring of key government electoral policies that
ensure credible and participatory electoral processes. Strategic axis 2 zooms the fight

against corruption and promotion of transparency in public finance management with
working packages related to themes within the scope of the United Nations Convention
Against Corruption (UNCAC).
Promotion of Peace, Security and better management of Migration & IDP constitutes the
third strategic pillar with ongoing work around the promotion of transparency and civil
oversight in defense procurements, countering violent extremism and protection of civilians as
well as the promotion to adherence and implementation of UN and AU treaties on migration
and internally displaced persons.
The fourth strategic axis aims at promoting the legal framework for environment and
conservation of nature, in particular within the Revised African Union Convention on the
Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.
The fifth strategic pillar spans over the broad area of promotion of health, human
development and social inclusion. This pillar is very essential as it encompasses all the
other strategic focuses of CISLAC through the engagement of the 17 Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) and Agenda 2030, with clear indicators and targets for measuring
of results.
Lastly, Institutional Strengthening of CISLAC comes as an important element to this
strategic plan as the institutional and organisational upgrade and maintenance of CISLAC is of
paramount importance to the successful implementation of the growing portfolio. The
competency in advocacy, evidence-based policy input and continues staff capacity building
will be promoted.
The implementation of the portfolio rests on upholding and deepening of fundamental values
of the organisation defined as integrity, transparency and accountability, team work,
partnerships and value for money. CISLAC's national partnership landscape spans over the
impressive list of governmental and non-governmental partners as well as both chambers of
the Parliament and judiciary. Regional and international partnerships are vital in attaining the
goal, mission and vision of CISLAC.
CISLAC has acquired a non-binding, consultative status to the UNCAC with the United
Nations Economic and Social Council. The 2018 will also mark a finalisation of the
accreditation process to become a fully-fledged Transparency International chapter in
Nigeria. This strategic plan envisages further deepening of these relationships through a
range of measures such as a liaison desk within the Nigerian Permanent Mission to UN in New
York, field offices in Nigeria, MoUs with international governance think tanks, etc.
Lastly, the growing portfolio of CISLAC and obligations emerging from international
partnerships urge strong internal governing mechanisms. The Board will continue leading and
overseeing the strategy and monitoring the strategic plan implementation. Organisations
under the CISLAC's umbrella have formed newly inaugurated Advisory Committee, which
provides a participatory platform for affiliated organisations and defines their interaction with
CISLAC. The secretariat headed by the Executive Director has a clearly defined role and
mandate in the implementation of this 5-year portfolio.

CISLAC Strategic Plan 2018-2023
3. Context Analysis – Nigeria's Outlook
a. Political Context
Nigeria in 2015 organized a general election, which culminated for the first time in a ruling political
party, the People's Democratic Party (PDP) losing and an opposition party, the All Progressives
Congress (APC) winning. The elections were conducted under intense atmosphere of violence
occasioned by Boko Haram terrorists and anticipated violence because of the fear of the elections
not being fair and credible. The new government was voted into power with three major campaign
promises namely; fighting insecurity especially in the North East of the country, fighting corruption
and revamping the country's economy. Two years of the government down the line, while efforts of
the military have helped to scale down the activities of Boko Haram in the North East, the same
cannot be said of dealing with corruption and revamping the economy.
High profile political persons accused of corruption are yet to be convicted while the economy went
into recession in 2016. Although the Boko Haram situation is curtailed, Nigeria has been faced with
a renewed wave of session call orchestrated by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and call
from a group of Arewa Youths calling on Igbos to leave the Northern parts of the country. Some
other groups in the South West and North Central states have also made calls fuelling tensions for
Nigerians and residents in the country. The ability of the government to deal decisively with these
situations have not received the utmost political engagement with the absence of the President to
stamp his feet on the situation due to ill-health and his absence from governance some part of his
two-year administration.
However, the country witnessed elections conducted in two states of the Federation in 2016. In
Edo State, the APC retained the governorship election while in Ondo State; the PDP lost the
governorship position to the APC. State gubernatorial elections are expected in Anambra 2017,
Ekiti and Osun 2018 before the next general elections in 2019.
At the national legislative level, although the APC controls majority of seats, the relationship
between the executive and the legislature have been frosty. Such poor relationship has hampered
confirmation of appointments from the executive, delays in passage of budgets and general
oversight of the legislature. However, committees of the National Assembly have worked towards
amendment of the 1999 Constitution, which the new amendments expected to be sent to State
Houses of Assembly for their concurrence.
Good governance signifies the effectiveness and fairness in the operation of a country's
government. The quality of life of the citizens and functional institutions of government have been
identified as vital factors that indicate the good governance of a country. Understanding and
following the trends in the political landscape of the country will significantly direct and influence
how far programmes and activities of non-government and civil society groups can go in
complimenting the efforts of government for a better country.
b. Conflict and Security
The curve of insecurity in Nigeria has continued to rise despite the plethora of interventions
initiated by the Federal and regional governments, security agencies as well as development
partners in the country. The towering security profile of the nation has assumed a disturbing
dimension, thereby undermining international and local economic interests resulting in the slow
9
CISLAC Strategic Plan 2018-2023
pace of socio-economic and political development. Preventing and Countering Violent
Extremism, setting up Early Warning and Early Response Mechanism as well as coordinating
efforts of state and non-state actors in peace building will shape security decision processes.
The scourge of violent conflict in Nigeria has grown since the country returned to civilian rule in
May 1999. Conflict in Nigeria is an interaction between political, ethno-religious and resource
competition against the backdrop of predisposing factors, such as mutual distrust, intolerance
and unhealthy rivalry between different ethnic groups. Evolving threats such as insurgency and
terrorism have become a major source of insecurity in Nigeria. There has been major destruction
of infrastructure along with the loss of lives and impoverishment in the affected regions.
These interrelated challenges have combined to entrench high levels of deprivation, illiteracy,
poverty, unemployment, social exclusion and reinforce the vicious cycle of ignorance, lack of
political awareness, bad governance, lack of accountability, absence of people oriented
development and participatory processes, low realization of basic, economic, social and cultural
rights. These have in turn resulted in citizens' discontent, poverty, youth idleness and vulnerability
to manipulation and exploitation. The result of is the evolution of political thuggery that has largely
escalated to the insurgency, militancy, kidnapping and rural banditry which has fuelled the
insecurity across the regions in the country. This has resulted in the death of thousands,
abductions of hundreds and internal displacements of hundreds of thousands
The impact of conflict is particularly severe on women and adolescent girls who are especially
susceptible to sexual abuse, rape, and other abuses. It is of key importance to develop policies
and design services that contribute to an enabling environment for women's participation and
empowerment in conflict and post conflict environments, so they can meaningfully participate in
conflict prevention, resolution, peace building, and protection, relief and recovery efforts. These
challenges are likely to persist in mid- and long-term and will thus influence the development
context in the future.
b. Economic Outlook
After rebasing of the Nigerian economy in 2016, Nigeria is Africa's largest economy. However, the 3size of the economy disguises the fact that the GDP per capita is only $941. The consequence
can be seen in very week averages in almost all social indicators. The average life expectancy is
52 years, average years of schooling stand at 9 with the highest rate of children out of school in the
world. Poverty is shockingly high with 62% of the population living below poverty line in 2016.
Nigeria was ranked by the UNDP 2016 Report on UN quality of life/Human Development Index as
the 152 out of 188, among the least human development countries globally in terms of income,
education and life expectancy.
Nigeria has been hit hard by the global slump in crude oil prices. The dependence on a single
commodity to generate foreign exchange earnings has made Nigeria especially vulnerable to oil
production and price shocks. It is facing its worst economic crisis in decades, as there has been
increased pressure on government and foreign exchange earnings. It is forecasted that Nigeria
will post only a weak economic recovery in 2017 from the recession it experienced in 2016. This is
10
CISLAC Strategic Plan 2018-2023
3. World Bank Data, 2017
under assumption that oil production will pick up a little following the massive disruption caused by
militancy in 2016—Nigeria was exempted from a production cut by OPEC at the cartel's recent 4
meetings. The IMF estimates the economic growth for 2017 at meagre 0.9% of GDP.
Nigeria attempts to widen the revenue basis away from oil production. However, large resources
in solid minerals, agriculture and industry require large investment, both domestic and foreign,
which is hindered by growing insecurity, corruption and unpredictable political context. Overall,
real GDP growth is predicted to pick up to 2.1% in 2018. IMF expects growth to slip back to 1.7% in
2019, given election-related uncertainty, compounded by an expected recession in the US and an
ongoing slowdown in China that will spook global markets and lead to a moderation in oil prices.
The moderate rebound in growth will reach 3.2%, in 2021 as local and global markets strengthen.
The average growth rate of 2.1% in 2017 21 is weak for a country with a young and expanding
population, and will hit living standards and job creation—issues that will feed back into threats to
political and social stability. Poverty and massive unemployment rates, especially among the
youth remain high. Accelerating the creation of productive jobs through private sector growth and
improvements in skills acquisition remains a major challenge.
Inflation continuous to reach high levels in 2017 with an average rate of 17%. Pre-election
spending and a further drop in the naira on the back of weaker oil prices mean that inflationary
pressures will stay high in 2019, with inflation averaging above 12%, before it falls back slightly in
2020/ 21, to an annual average of 10.8%, as tighter fiscal and monetary policy takes effect. High
inflation will continue posing a threat to economic planning and budgeting. The same can be said
about forecasting for naira. High fluctuation of the exchange rate to all major currencies means
that pricing and forecasting is based on US dollar. IMF forecasts by end 2021 naira trading close to
N500 for one USD.

4. CISLAC At Glance
Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) is non-governmental, non-profit legislative advocacy, information sharing and research organization, arising from the felt need to address defects in the legislative advocacy work of civil society and open the window through which legislators can also access civil society groups. It aims to strengthen the work of Civil Society on Legislative Advocacy and bridge the gap between legislators and the Civil Society. The formation of CISLAC arose from the context of the fact that the return to civilian rule in Nigeria was achieved largely by the struggles of the organizations of Civil Society especially the Human Rights and pro-democracy groups. Many activists lost their lives in the demonstrations, and sometimes, violent eruptions which characterized agitation for democracy and the opening of the democratic space in the context of authoritarian military rule and dictatorship.
Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) is currently one of the major civil society organizations in Nigeria with a primary focus on legislation and legislative processes. CISLAC is also engaged in policy/legislative advocacy, civil society capacity building and media engagement. CISLAC works to train and enlighten civil society on policymaking, the responsibilities of the legislature, and the existing policies and legislations affecting Nigerian citizens. It also aims to ensure that the legislature at local, state and federal levels are aware of their relationships with other government bodies and have a responsibility of acting as a voice for the people.
CISLAC was integrated as a corporate body (CAC/IT/NO22738) with the Nigeria's Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) on the 28th December 2006. Prior to this incorporation, however, CISLAC had actively been engaged in legislative advocacy work since 2005. The organisation is also compliant with the Anti-Money Laundering Act 2007.
The Organisation reports to SCUML, any transaction that is above One thousand dollars, detailing the payee, purpose and the other KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements. This is done on a weekly or monthly basis depending on the volume of transactions and to ensure appropriate compliance with anti-money laundering laws.
CISLAC is also registered organisation under the National Planning Commission. In recognition of its broad perspective, CISLAC was granted an ECOSOC status by the United Nations in 2011 giving it the mandate and the instrumentality of the United Nations. CISLAC is duly registered in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(1) (a) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011 of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC). It is the national contact of Transparency International (TI).
CISLAC through its engagement of the governance processes in Nigeria has contributed towards the passage of several primary legislation such as the Fiscal Responsibility Act, Violence against Persons Prohibition Act, National Tobacco Control Act, National Health Act, Public Procurement Act, and Nigeria Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative Act which promotes transparency and accountability in governance as well as the domestication of international conventions at the Federal and state levels in Nigeria through advocacies, presentation of memoranda and public enlightenment programmes and media engagement.
CISLAC along with other civil society organizations campaigned and advocated for passage of the Freedom of Information Act. CISLAC is among the movement advocating for the passage of
12
CISLAC Strategic Plan 2018-2023
such pieces of legislation as Disability Bill, Gender and Equal Opportunity Bill, Whistleblower Protection Bill, Prison Reform Bill, etc.
CISLAC has created civil society awareness through publication and dissemination of monthly newsletter – Legislative Digest which have been in circulation for both public and legislative consumption since October 2006. It has been a central medium of accountability, as it provides citizens a platform to monitor the performance of their Legislators, and a channel for Civil Society Organizations advocacy on critical issues that require legislative intervention. Also, CISLAC has a wide range of publications such as Textbooks and Policy Briefs, which examines policies requiring amendment and providing recommendations.
As a renowned CSO in Legislative advocacy in the region, CISLAC has on several occasions shared its experience on best practices for legislative advocacy on invitation from its international partners such as the World Bank Parliamentary Forum and the United Nations Millennium Campaign/Sustainable Development Goals in African countries such as Kenya and Zimbabwe. Similarly, Ghana, Kenya, and Democratic Republic of Congo have also requested support from CISLAC for replication of its work in Legislative advocacy. In many West African countries such as Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Cameroon, Niger, Togo and Benin Republic, CISLAC has carried out experience sharing and advocacy exercises on the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative processes through supporting the passage of extractive industry initiative laws in these countries. CISLAC also undertakes capacity building for legislators, CSOs and Media on policy engagements in the above countries.
CISLAC's sub-granting experience includes grants to national organisations. With skilled, committed, experienced and proactive leadership and employees, particularly in the areas of coalition building, tenacious advocacy, community mobilization and the clout needed to engage lawmakers at all levels, the organization has proven capacity to attract international solidarity, engage policy makers and mobilize local civil society groups and communities into action.
Since the adoption of the strategic plan 2012-2017, the organization has had multiple successes in its field. In collaboration with strategic CSO partnerships and engagement with parliamentarians, CISLAC has played a guiding role to advance the SDGs agenda 2030, AU Agenda 2063 and ECOWAS Vision 2020 in the legislative processes through numerous awareness raising initiatives. Such initiatives as regular advocacy visits, roundtable dialogues and information sharing on how best to formulate effective decisions and enact better laws resulted in the formulation of legislative caucuses on SDGs at the National and State Houses of Assembly and increased budgetary allocation to critical sectors as such Education, Health, Agriculture and Energy. Similarly, CISLAC has built the capacity of CSOs to constructively monitor legislative oversights at the National and State Houses of Assembly for effective policy interventions around budgets.
CISLAC has contributed to the passage of several laws. For example, the development of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Act, Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) Act, Fiscal Responsibility (FRC) Act, Public Procurement Act (PPA); Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) Act, Freedom of Information (FOI) Act; National Health Act; and National Tobacco Control Act, Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act, Public Procurement Act, amongst others. In collaboration with other CSOs, CISLAC continues to monitor implementation of these Acts, hence instilling a culture of transparency and accountability in the different sectors.
13
CISLAC Strategic Plan 2018-2023
CISLAC's research and policy briefs have been instrumental in providing a wealth of knowledge on the workings of the legislature and mode of engagement with the legislature, capacity strengthening as well as providing technical support for the legislature to be more effective. In recent years, CISLAC has expanded its work to regional levels engaging ECOWAS and the AU organs, which has enabled it influence and share best practices and experiences at regional and continental level. To this purpose, CISLAC has established permanent presence in USA with an independent legal entity.
The Zero Corruption Coalition (ZCC) is a coalition of over one hundred and fifty Civil Society Organizations and dozens of individuals committed to the fight against corruption. It is based in Abuja with membership based across the six geopolitical zones, it works in the area of capacity building for relevant stakeholders on anti-corruption and campaign and advocacy for strengthening anti-corruption legislations and policies. It is the CSO partner to the UNCAC implementation in Nigeria and engages strongly with the ACAs.
Since inception, CISLAC has consistently engaged the legislature, executives, Civil Society and Media at all levels with notable achievements. Through the course of its engagements, CISLAC has demonstrated some exceptional attributes, such as ability to convene National Assembly for critical events, ability to mobilize media and civil society to engage legislative processes at all levels. At the end of the 2012-2017 strategic plan, the organization conducted an assessment to unravel enabling attributes and environment that have impacted achievements so far.
STRENGTHS
Over the years, the non-partisan and transparent nature of CISLAC's engagement in national issues has gained the organization a good institutional reputation among partners and the citizens. CISLAC has in the course of its engagements shown good convening power and working relations with different actors (both state and non-state actors). This arises from the confidence and trust that has been maintained with legislators, policy makers and Civil Society Communities at International, Regional, National and Sub-national levels which has led to CISLAC's current status of Transparency International Chapter in formation.
CISLAC has demonstrated technical expertise in key policy areas as evident in engagements and achievements in this regard. This demonstrated expertise has led to the formation of sustainable relationships with regional bodies.
In addition to the above, CISLAC has demonstrated thought leadership which is seen in the way that the organization participates in the African and Nigerian Civic Movement through coalitions, most of which CISLAC contributes to their formation and currently housing some of such coalitions as State of the Union (SOTU); Zero Corruption Coalition, Tax Justice and Governance Platform, National Civil Society Consultative Forum on Peace and Security, Accountability for Maternal, New-born and Child Health (AMHiN), Coalitions of Civil Society on Nutrition Advocacy, among others.
CISLAC is strong at knowledge generation and sharing. Since inception, the organization has conducted series of Regional and National level researches and developed knowledge materials from the findings, which have been published and disseminated throughout the nation and beyond.

CISLAC Strategic Plan 2018-2023
OPPORTUNITIES
Enabling environment for the advancement of CISLAC'S engagements during this strategic period include the positive perception that the donor community holds about CISLAC. This is shown in the expression interests by many donor agencies to partner with CISLAC on interventions that fall within the organization's area of work.
CISLAC's relevance is key as there is inadequate legislative advocacy in social and political sectors –opportunity for further engagement. Technological advancement, especially Social media is an avenue to reach a wider range of stakeholders with our work. CSOs and media professionals within and outside Nigeria are keen to partner with CISLAC, as well as existing Pan African alliances.
Currently, the increase in demand from pan African institutions and CSO coalitions to contribute to the design and analysis of policies as well as on-going legislative & policy review processes present an opportunity for CISLAC to influence social developmental changes. The new Strategic Plan offers new opportunities to fundraise and build new relationships with funders and form alliances with new emerging actors e.g the private sector and private foundations like African philanthropists, provides opportunity for a non-conventional fund raising and sustainability.
WEAKNESSES
CISLAC's existence and engagements is not without shortcomings. These include lack of diversified sources of funding which is as a result of dwindling donor funds. Inadequate number of staff and ability to maintain international remuneration standards to staff may pose a challenge in the execution of the strategic plan. This inadequacy of staff has resulted to the overburdening of available skilled staff. Finally, CISLAC is yearly burdened with payment of huge rents as a result of the unavailability of a permanent office building. This fund would be put to other programmatic use if rents do not have to be paid.
THREATS
The political arena in Nigeria poses a huge threat to the engagements of CISLAC due to instability arising from political transition that leads to constant engagement of newly elected officers. This scenario often leads to duplication of efforts as new political leaders need to be oriented and convinced to buy-in into the organization's work.
A large number of the Nigerian citizenry is not interested in engaging policy reform debates. This poses a threat because the citizens whose benefits CISLAC is advocating are more or less not concerned with what happens around reforms.
There are so many beautiful laws in Nigeria. However, the lack of effective implementation of these laws (Weak institutional frameworks) poses a challenge in the area of showing the gains of CISLAC's work and the Civil Society work at large in the country.
Dwindling donor funding and CSOs' dependency on donor funds without sustainability plan, as well as shifting donor priorities has resulted to non-renewal of some past interventions, thereby reducing fund in the said area of work.
Diminishing CSO engagement at AU level and across Africa poses a threat to regional interventions. Government misconception of the role of CSOs and their introduction of obnoxious legislation to restrict advocacy on human rights which will shrink civil spaces. This poses a serious
15

16
CISLAC Strategic Plan 2018-2023
threat as the success of such law will undermine the independence of the sector and expose the country to high levels of political corruption.
With the expansion of the CISLAC's portfolio, the number of staff has reached 40 full-time employees, including interns. Net assets rose from N6.3m in 2011 to N222m in 2016. Liquidity increased from N5.6m in 2011 to N220 in 2016. A continuous challenge emanates from the fact that operations are not asset based, fixed assets comprise mostly office furniture due to difficulty in securing institutional funding, which would ensure higher investment into the institutional growth.
At the current, our portfolio comprises of these main projects according to the five programmatic strategic axes.

5. Developing the CISLAC Strategic Plan 2018-2023
Approach
This Framework builds on years of experience by CISLAC and its partners on supporting sustainable
development through institutional development, capacity building, policy reform, and civil society
strengthening. Preparing the strategic framework began with a review of key documents and
deliberations among CISLAC board and staff on future directions for the organisation. The consultant
team referenced these concepts to the geo-political and institutional context as well as to a preliminary
review of internal achievements and capacities, to arrive at a conceptual outline of how the strategic
plan could be formulated, including an overall objective and specific strategic objectives.
Views were sought from key stakeholders including main donors, partner organizations to gain
external perspectives on CISLAC's achievements, strengths, challenges and opportunities. A number
of common substantive and institutional issues emerged from these discussions and have helped to
form the new strategy.
Substantive Issues:
. Effective facilitation of CSO at the grassroots level to adequately translate the work done at the
national level
. Recognized by the government: CISLAC has earned recognition and space which it needs to be
maintained.
. Important focus should be on Legislature
. Need to build a connection between regional issues and national policies
. Strengthen role in engaging open government partnership and resource governance (Asset
disclosure, beneficial ownership and open data)
. Strengthen engagement with RECs (ECOWAS), NEPAD, UNECA, AU
. Greater media engagement and alternative public engagement strategies, new communications
tools e.g. social media
. Strengthen engagement with research bodies and other strategic partnerships and networks –
hold governments to account through generating own evidence
Institutional Issues:
. Coordination at regional level
. Building capacity of staff
. Intensify Resource mobilization
. Need better M&E (outcome monitoring, theory of change)
. Streamlining policies
Strategic Planning Workshop:
A strategic planning workshop was held on the 24-26 January 2017, at the Bolton White Hotel in Abuja.
CISLAC staff and board and 10 partners also joined the discussions. Over the course of the three days,
a consensus was reached on the overall goal of the strategy for the coming five years, and the
characterization of the key result areas and means of implementation, as presented now in this
Strategic Plan document.

CISLAC Strategic Plan 2018-2023
6. Operative Framework – How Change Will Happen
The government is as an influential actor as it is responsible for both the enactment and implementation of laws and policies that protect and promote the rights of its citizens. However, the growing voice from citizens for good governance is a clear indication that the government is not upholding its responsibilities under the social contract.
Change will be achieved if the government becomes inclusive and responsive with necessary policies, resources and actions to meet the needs of the citizens, resulting in a people centred sustainable development.
CISLAC believes that building local, regional and international partnerships with civil society organisations, the government and other stakeholders including the private sector to secure citizen engagement spaces towards holding the government accountable will bring about good governance.
Therefore, strengthening CSO's capacity to engage in decision making processes, and act on their potential to influence good governance and reduce political and social strife; empowering relevant legislators at national and sub-national levels to adequately perform their oversight, law making, and constituency outreach functions; empowering the executives to properly implement and monitor implementation of relevant laws and providing adequate and relevant information for citizens to demand transparency and accountability in governance will give rise to an open, citizen centred governance; and create a Nigeria where legislators and policy makers are safeguarding citizens' rights and welfare while citizens effectively demand accountability from duty bearers.
CISLAC intends to achieve this change pathway through well designed and effectively delivered programmes to inform critical public policy and budget decisions that will contribute to achieving the outcomes that policymakers and citizens expect. CISLAC having ECOSOC status and being a member of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) will advocate for inclusive and transparent policies and frameworks to ensure that institutional governance is promoting accountability and transparency using evidence from our research, proposing alternative policies and frameworks as well as influencing at all levels.
Based on this Theory of Change, the new strategy addresses CISLAC's mandate through three operational approaches, namely: Legislative and Policy Advocacy; civil society engagement and mobilisation and institutional strengthening to bring about change in policies, practices and behaviours; and most of all complete the accreditation process thereby, becoming a full TI chapter. This change envisages six (6) strategic focus areas outlined below:
1. Support to democratic processes;
2. Anti-corruption and promotion of transparency in the public finance management;
3. Promotion of peace, security and better management of Migration & IDP;
4. Promotion of legal framework for environment and conservation of nature;
5. Promotion of human development and social inclusion;
6. Institutional strengthening of CISLAC.

7. Strategy Goal and Objectives
Goal:
To make government accessible, responsive and accountable to citizens.
Vision:
A Nigeria where legislators and policy makers are safeguarding citizens' rights and welfare
while citizens effectively demand accountability
Mission:
To engage state and non-state actors for improved policy and legislative frameworks,
transparency and accountability in governance for people oriented development.
Strategic Objective 1: Support to Democratic processes – To contribute to the
formulation, implementation and monitoring of key government electoral policies that ensure
credible and participatory electoral processes through improved legislative oversight.
Since the return to democratic rule in 1999, Nigeria has been working towards improving its
electoral and democratic systems to be in synchronisation with other well-established
democratic cultures. Within the next five (5) years, it is expected that the country will work
around issues of constitutional amendment, electoral Act amendment and other laws that
govern elections. Elections will be held at tiers of government with particular references to
Anambra gubernatorial election in 2017, Ekiti and Osun in 2018, general elections in 2019 and
Edo and Ondo elections in 2020, and again Anambra 2021, Ekiti and Osun in 2022. All these
electoral and constitutional amendment processes fall within the scope and time frame of this
Strategic Plan. In these processes, there will be room for intervention both at the legislative
and policy levels.
Strategic Objective 2: Fight against corruption and promotion of transparency in
public finance management – To bridge the gap in the fight against corruption by promoting
Transparency and Accountability in public resource management, contract transparency and
equitable taxation through setting up anti-corruption CSO platforms in Nigeria.
By virtue of article 5 of UNCAC, State Parties are required to develop and implement or
maintain effective anti-corruption policies that encourage the participation of society, reflect
the rule of law and promote sound and transparent administration of public affairs. Many of the
administrative reform efforts of the Nigerian Government have now been backed by statute.
Thus, there are now a number of provisions within the context of Nigerian law, which
compliment Article 5 of the UNCAC. Section 39 of the 1999 Constitution provides for Freedom
of Speech, S 19 of the PPA 2007, makes it mandatory that at least one representative of an
NGO and a professional body observe the procurement process, and provides substantial
CSO membership of the highest Policy making organ in the procurement Framework (The
Council). S 16(14), 23, 24, 25, and 38 of the PPA provide for reasonable access to information
by citizens, they require simultaneous and equal distribution of information relating to
procurement opportunities, and access to records of procurement proceedings after a
winning bidder is selected or a procurement activity is terminated without a contract, however
22
CISLAC Strategic Plan 2018-2023
the reference to unclassified procurement records in S 16(14) without a definition of what is
unclassified may limit the scope of application of this law.
The FRA provides for increased citizens consultation and participation in the Fiscal Planning
and budget process in Nigeria, and imposes public consultation and reporting obligations on
the Ministry of Finance, that improve access to public finance information and participation of
citizens in decision making. S 11-17 of the Fiscal Responsibility Act requires the preparation of
a Medium Term Expenditure Plan in a consultative manner. S48 of the FRA requires the
Federal Government to ensure that its fiscal and financial affairs are conducted in a
transparent manner and accordingly ensure full and timely disclosure and wide publication of
all transactions and decisions involving public revenues and expenditures and their
implications for its finances. Additionally, it requires the National Assembly to ensure
transparency during the preparation and discussion of the Medium-Term Expenditure
Framework, Annual Budget and the Appropriation Bill. The FRA has provided statutory
backing for the administrative reform of fiscal planning in Nigeria which introduced the MTEF,
in the same breath the PPA provides statutory backing for the Due Process Administrative
Reforms.
These improvements however have largely occurred only at the federal level of government in
Nigeria. Part of the underlying reasons behind the gap between the anti-corruption efforts in
the country is the delay in approving the National Strategy to Combat Corruption that was
approved recently after a lot of efforts by various stakeholders as well as provisions and the
domestic regime has to do with the low levels of compliance to this particular obligation in the
thirty-six federating states.
In view of Nigeria's lopsided Federal structure, the continued existence of the Official Secrets
Act imposing an obligation on public servants to keep public information secret and similar
provisions of the civil service rules does not support an environment for civil society and media
to hold government accountable.
Strategic Objective 3: Promotion of Peace, Security and better management of
Migration & IDP – To promote transparency in defense procurement, audit and oversight,
countering violence extremism and protection of civilians as well as promote adherence and
implementation of UN and AU treaties on Migration and IDPs.
In the period in which the previous Strategic Plan covered (2002-2017), issues that relate to
peace and security became very dominant forming a major area of urgent intervention of both
local and international development partners alike. However, CISLAC has, since inception,
ensured that necessary policy and legislative frameworks are in place and also duly
implemented to ensure adequate protection of lives and properties of individuals living within
the country, develop required interventions for issues that speak to building national capacity
to address irregular migration seeing migration as a needed tool for national development and
also engaging causative factors of violence.
Nigeria has adopted a National Migration Policy, and has also signed the African Union
Convention for the Protection and Assistance for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in
Africa. These two frameworks form the core of CISLAC's engagement in the area of migration.
23
CISLAC Strategic Plan 2018-2023
This five-year Strategic Plan expects to further advance the work of CISLAC in the area of
Peace and Conflict, ensuring active and a more robust engagement in the area of its migration
portfolio
Strategic Objective 4: Promotion of legal framework for environment and conservation
of nature – To promote the adherence and implementation of treaties on environmental
conservation, implementation of environmental clean-up and food security in Nigeria.
Nigeria is a signatory to the Revised African Union Convention on the Conservation of Nature
and Natural Resources. Unfortunately, Nigeria is yet to ratify this Convention although the
country played significant role to its revision from the 1968 version to the 2003 one. Nigeria is
also party to and signatory to many environment and climate change agreements. Non-
ratification and implementation of these instruments continue to create hazardous incidents in
the country. Desertification affects many states in the northern parts of the country. Various
forms of soil erosion are prevalent generally in the country. Many parts of the Niger Delta face
major environmental pollution. Toxic waste, unregulated mining and industrial waste are a
common feature of our environment. The unbridled importation of used and overused items
such as batteries, computers and tyres constitute serious environmental concerns, which
should be properly managed.
Strategic Objective 5: Promotion of human development and social inclusion – To
promote the adoption and implementation of health related legal frameworks and policies as
well as Gender and social inclusion at the national and state levels.
The 2017 World Health Statistics on Nigeria is alarming. The maternal mortality ratio is on the
increase regardless of all the efforts from the government to improve the health indices.
Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) is 814/100,000 LB, under 5 mortality ratio is 108.8/1000 LB,
and number of births attended by skilled birth attendants is only 35%, while neonatal mortality
rate is 34.3/1000 LB (WHO). This woeful health index reflects the effort of both government
towards improving health care in the country.
Though the past and current administrations have proved to exude some level of political will
in terms of providing adequate health care for citizens, showcased by the passing into law the
National Health Act in 2014, which had previously eroded previous administrations, the
indices remain very poor. To further buttress the willingness of the government to implement
the provisions of the Health Act, at sub-national level, states have begun to establish State
Primary Health Care Development Centres, which is a primary requirement for the access of
the 1% provision in the Health Act of the country's consolidated revenue to the health sector.
Health remains in the concurrent list, which makes the adoption of the Health Act at state level
very easy, as there is no need for further legislation/domestication of the Act. However, with all
the preparations gearing up to the full implementation of the Health Act, Nigeria faces serious
challenge in terms of financing health care. The country has never met the UN requirement or
Abuja Declaration of at least 15% budgetary allocation to health. Only at state level, (Bauchi)
has there been such record (16%). In the face of dwindling donor funds (donors such as GAVI,
UNICEF, etc., are gearing up to withdraw funds support from the country owing to the rebasing
of our country's economy- lower middle income earners) and the current economic recession
24
CISLAC Strategic Plan 2018-2023
facing the country, the greatest challenge facing Basic Health Care has been inadequate
funding and so far, innovative ways of funding health still eludes the government.
On a more positive note, there has been a lot of improvement in the area of inclusiveness in
the legislative processes as it relates to health. For the first time in many years, the legislature
is involving the citizens and private sector in the area of Public Hearing on the 2017
Appropriations and National Health Insurance Scheme, all in a bid to find a way around
providing adequate health care for the citizens. Furthermore, more health related bills have
also been passed into law at state level.
However, with the entire legal platform provided for women's participation in political affairs of
our country, there has been abysmally low level of representation of women in elective and
even appointive positions. The current statistics on women's involvement in Nigerian politics
and governance shows how the nation is at best showing lip service to affirmative action
principles long adopted by other democracies such as Rwanda: 63.5% Lower House, 38.5%
Upper House; Senegal 42.7%; South Africa Lower House 41.9%, Upper House 55.2%;
Burundi 36.4% and Nigeria- Upper Chamber 6.4%, Lower House 5.2%, Cabinet position-
19%. The Past administration with all the loss of confidence people had in them were still able
to have up to 32% Cabinet position! The same dismal story can be seen in the Lower
Chamber, the Federal Cabinet, Ministries, Departments and Agencies, among others. This
startling reality further reflects deepening inequality crises between genders in the Nigerian
political landscape.
The MDGs 3 also presented opportunity up until September 2015 for Nigeria to further reduce
gender inequality but the story did not really change. The Gender and Equal Opportunity Bill
that has been at the National Assembly for years has been thrown out the second time under
the present administration by the Senate. However, the Violence Against Persons Prohibition
Bill received accent though the implementation has been a challenge.
Strategic Objective 6: Institutional Strengthening of CISLAC – To set up knowledge
management systems and sustainable resource mobilization mechanisms for stronger
organization.
For effective implementation of the Strategic Plan, the need for a strong knowledge
management system and strong resource base becomes inevitable. In the next five years,
CISLAC will seek opportunities to devise deliberate and systematic coordination of its staff,
use modern technology and processes, and create an organizational structure relevant to add
value through innovative approaches. CISLAC will develop systems of creating, sharing,
using and managing new knowledge.
As part of having a sustainable resource base, CISLAC will strive towards seeking support
from the donor community and philanthropic individuals in getting its own permanent office in
order to reduce the high cost of rent payment facing the organisation.
Capacity building of staff and improvement in staff emoluments is essential in ensuring that
the organisation retains and where necessary bring competent persons to ensure
achievement of organizational objective, enhanced performance and maintain comparative
advantage and best practices.

New strategy of CISLAC foresees a strengthening of the portfolio in all six strategic axes. In
particular, the strategic axis 6 (institutional strengthening) is projected to increase in line with
the shifting trend to strengthening of the organization as an institution. Detailed projection by
all outcomes and outputs can be found in annex.

CISLAC Strategic Plan 2018-2023
9. Stakeholder- and Power Analysis
Understanding the influence of different groups is important as it helps to identify their interest
in a particular reform and the potential strategies for negotiating. The success of CISLAC is
based on engagement with diverse and strategic stakeholders who are instrumental to the
changes that we envisage. The main stakeholders of CISLAC are described below:
a. Citizenry
The success of any intervention is highly dependent on the ability of the citizens to make
demands from their government. This can be achieved through awareness creation,
sensitization and capacity building of individuals on the understanding of the rights provided to
them by the law and the appropriate channels to demand these rights. Despite the power
Citizens possess, they need to harness their power to influence issues and spaces.
Nigerian citizens in recent years have shown great progress in their ability to make demands
from those in Authority. Some scenarios like the 2012 subsidy protests where the former
government was forced to partially remove fuel subsidy in place of the total removal it planned,
points to the progress made.
Another display of such power is the relentless campaign by the Bring Back Our Girls group
(BBOG) which also obligated the Government to intensify its efforts to rescue the Chibok girls
by making negotiations that got out a total of 103 girls; 21 in October 2016 and 82 in May 2017.
Nevertheless the release of the girls was a swap trade for boko haram terrorist group
prisoners.
Nigeria has also seen citizens display their ability to make demands in cases like the protests
that resulted in the discarding of the Senate's proposed anti-social media bill, suspension of
the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) planned hike in prices of data amongst
others.
It is worthy to note that this progress achieved in the display of power by Nigerians have been
largely aided by the social media which gives citizens easy access to vital information.
The Nigerian citizens are the baseline for any effort towards reform, change or accountability.
b. Civil Society Organisations
Civil society organisations are generally more aware, and concerned with protecting interests
and rights of individuals around clear thematic areas. Increasingly different stakeholders have
begun to recognise them as key players. In Nigeria, CSOs have been credited as having
played an instrumental role in legislative and policy reform processes that have seen the rights
of citizens become more secure. CSOs are therefore highly influential but less powerful as
there is need to enhance them and sustain their momentum, which is critical in building on
their influence through exchanging information and networking.
Overtime, the Nigerian civil society organizations have turned into rallying pillars in the push
for accountability for citizens. These CSOs have shone the light on the rights of Nigerians,
guiding them on the way forward.
28
CISLAC Strategic Plan 2018-2023
In 2016, revelations made by BudgIT on the 2016 budget led to the unravelling of Nigeria's
budget padding scam, a move that resulted in the dismissal of the former Director General of
the budget Office of the Federation, Yahaya Gusau. This gives an insight into the strength of
CSOs.
CISLAC is part of many coalitions of CSOs currently working in close partnership with various
legislative and executive arm in ensuring transparency in the extractive industry; working with
other coalitions in anti-corruption and as well as in improving on electoral processes. CISLAC
plays a coordinating role in some of the CSO networks.
c. International NGOs
Many Civil society organizations engaging on regional or pan African issues are international
NGOs with components of advocacy initiatives. This means that INGOs are critical in the
quest to secure human rights in Nigeria especially given their ability to leverage resources.
INGOs in many instances are powerful and influential.
International NGOs play a key role in advocacy. These Institutions maintain a symbiotic
relationship with the Nigerian civil society organizations and in some occasions stand as
pressure organs between Nigerian CSOs and the Nigerian Government. Their power lies on
their ability to influence the relationship between Nigeria and Developed nations, Donor
Agencies, International Bodies like the United Nations (UN), European Union (EU), African
Union (AU) and Multi-national companies. These International NGOs release reports and
indexes which are used as benchmarks for the above International Bodies to rate Nigeria.
They also help guide donor agencies on areas that are lacking and require support or funding
in Nigeria.
Reports from Transparency International (TI), Amnesty International (AI) and the likes have
until recently prevented the United States, France and other nations from selling weapons to
Nigeria over human rights abuse. The US in the past (under Obama administration) did go
further by compelling nations like Brazil, Israel and others from selling weapons to Nigeria.
On August 11 2017, the Acting president of Nigeria, Yemi Osinbajo inaugurated a nine-
member presidential panel to review compliance of the Nigerian military with the human right
obligations. This move from the acting president came at the heels of an Amnesty
International report, which accused the Nigerian military of human rights abuse.
d. Government and Related Structures
The government is responsible for both enacting and implementing laws and policies that
ensure the protection and promotion of human rights. However, accountability to the citizens
remains a key issue, with many cases of reported corruption. Government, therefore have
utmost power and influence to pass legislations that will secure human rights.
The National Assembly has the power to make legislations that would address current
situations in the country. The consumption of tobacco for instance; it was recorded that
tobacco is responsible for over 6 million premature deaths as estimated by the World Health
Organization. In order to curb the negative effects of the consumption of tobacco, the National
29
CISLAC Strategic Plan 2018-2023
Assembly passed the National Tobacco Control Act 2015 to regulate the rate of tobacco
consumption in Nigeria.
The passage and implementation of laws and policies have come to have the inputs of citizens
and civil society. Engaging governments within the next five years of this strategic plan is
therefore essential
e. Pan-African Organs and Institutions
The African Union is Africa's key institution for the promotion of accelerated socio-economic
integration of the continent. A Key objective of the African Union is the promotion and
protection of human and peoples' rights in accordance with the African Charter on Human and
Peoples' Rights and other relevant human rights instruments. The AU through legal
instruments like the African Charter on Youth has seen the development of guiding principles,
frameworks, and guidelines on land policy in Africa among other key frameworks on land and
Natural resources.
The Key structures to target within the next five years will include the AU Commission, the Pan
African Parliament and other key institutions of focus such as Economic Community of West
African States (ECOWAS) and African Development Bank (AfDB).
The AU has the power to exercise sanctions on member states that are non-compliant with the
provisions of the AU legal instruments and policy framework, as well as other conventions that
would benefit the citizenry, encourage regional integration, and promote good governance.
However, despite its great power under the Constitutive Act, it has in many instances failed to
exercise its power towards member states and influence them objectively in the interest of
citizens.
For instance, having signed and ratified the AU legal instruments and policy frameworks,
Nigeria has failed to implement, amongst others, the 10% budgetary allocations to the
Agricultural sector, being one of the provisions of the New Partnership for Africa Development
(NEPAD) Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Plan-CAAPD (2003), which
happens to be one of the policy frameworks of the AU. In 2013, the total allocation to
agriculture was N81.4bn, from the total budget of N4.92trn representing 1.7%. In 2014,
agriculture was allocated N66.64bn, which represented 20.6% cut from the previous
allocation. In the 2015 budget, N39.1bn was allocated to agriculture. However, there has been
an increase in budgetary allocation to agriculture, but still not close to the recommended 10%,
as N75.8bn allocated to agriculture, was about 1.24% of the 2016 N6.1trn budget. Presently,
agriculture was allocated N92bn, which represents 1.27% of the N7.3trn 2017 budget.
CISLAC is part of the State of the Union Coalition (SOTU), a network in Africa driving towards
the ratification, domestication and implementation of key AU instruments. CISLAC also
belongs to the West Africa Civil Society Forum (WACSOF) advocating for good governance in
West Africa.
f. Donors
International donors continue to be a major source of funding to many African governments,
African institutions, CSOs and INGOs. Donors contribute significant amounts to national
30
CISLAC Strategic Plan 2018-2023
budgets, advocacy, infrastructural projects that contribute to economic or social development
needs of states. Thus, international donors are significant brokers of direct and indirect power.
They have both high power and high influence.
CISLAC benefits and has been sustained through donor support and a wide range of the
donor community. Various interventions of CISLAC has been supported by various donors,
examples is the issue on Tobacco Control in Nigeria which is sponsored by African Capacity
Building Foundation (ACBF).
g. International Financial Institutions
The World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) continue to influence policies and
debates across the continent. Most African states including Nigeria benefit from financial
support in form of loans for mega development projects. In addition, the World Bank and IMF
are influential members of the Africa Development Bank (AfDB). These International Financial
Institutions (IFIs) also have frameworks and guiding principles that are prerequisite of their
support.
Nigeria is categorized as a third world country; it is a developing nation. Essentially, there is
need for consistent financial aid for effective, improved and sustainable economic growth. To
enable Nigeria overcome her deficiency in infrastructure, agriculture, health and Energy,
International Financial Institutions have stepped in to assist. To access such financial aid and
loans, Nigeria has had to look beyond its shores, adjust its system, policies and open its doors
to welcome these financial institutions and other investors from already developed nations
around the world.
International financial institutions such as World Bank, International Monetary Funds (IMF),
Africa Development Bank (AFDB) and the European Investment bank, provides low income
Regional Member Countries (RMCs) like Nigeria with concessional loans and grants,
guarantees as well as technical assistance for studies and capacity building in support of
projects and programs that spur poverty reduction and economic development. These
financial institutions are heavily invested in the health, education and energy sectors
especially in the development of renewable energy projects. They also give loans and grants
to companies operating in the private sector of the economy.
However, these international financial institutions have very stringent conditions attached to
their aids. They tend to influence the Nigerian government in areas of policy and financial
responsibility, urging the government to tighten laws and loop holes in order to secure the
repayments of finances given and future financial stability and growth.
h. The Private Sector
Along with governments and intergovernmental agencies, the private sector plays an
important role in development policy implementation. It is now widely acknowledged as a
growth engine based on accelerating innovations, mobilizing local resources, creating jobs
and providing better standard of living. Moreover, donors have been contracting private sector
for social and developmental projects which in the past were conducted through CSOs. They
have in the recent times positioned themselves as both powerful and influential stakeholders.

The private sector has been a major contributor to the development of the nation's economy.
They partake in the implementation of governmental policies by majorly creating job
opportunities for its masses, providing business opportunities for investors and increase the
gross domestic product (GDP) of the economy. They make it easier for goods and services to
get to the masses. The private sector has also contributed largely to the transfer of technology
into Nigeria. Competition in the private sector has helped improve variety and quality of goods
and services provided. Competition in the private sector has also led into rapid reduction in the
price of goods and services. Businesses in the private sector have also influenced trends and
social behaviour in the country.
i. Media
The media has continued to play a key role in setting and shaping development agenda.
Access to internet and social media has increased accountability and 'citizens' voice in
governance and presents a great tool for public mobilization. This therefore places the media
in a position of high influence despite limited power.
The media is an integral part of any society without which effective communication and
dissemination of information cannot be said to take place; the media has been playing a vital
role dating back to the pre-independence era of the nation. It serves as a means with which the
government and its citizens are held accountable for their various actions; it has been an
effective tool in politics and the fight against corruption and the furtherance of democracy. The
Nigerian media has continued to develop rapidly that a wider range of people of various
educational hierarchies are now able to access media for various purposes. The most popular
types of media in Nigeria include the electronic media, the print media and social media.
In this era of democracy, the media is used to sensitize and inform the people, to enhance
proper governance of each state and influence even allocation of federal resources to the
various states of the federation. It is also used by the people for demanding accountability and
to checkmate the activities of the constitutional representatives of the various constituencies
in the nation. Where there are doubts, the media is used to express feelings and corrective
opinions given with reference to freedom of expression, freedom of information and
transparency.
Unfortunately, some very wealthy and influentially placed Nigerians have tried to hijack the
power of the press for theirs and their groups' selfish interests by owning various media outfits,
thereby corrupting the credibility of the media output. Journalists and editors are not immune
to the vast corruption in the country as some of them owing to the prevailing condition of the
Nigeria economy, the struggle for survival, the fear of joblessness, have compromised their
integrity so as to secure their jobs and attain better living conditions by altering or falsifying
information disseminated.
Better Media means less corruption. Econometric research has found that countries with
greater press freedom tend to have less corruption. A free and independent media is a key
component of democracy as it greatly influences the democracy and politics of Nigeria.
10. Means of Implementation
This section constitutes an action plan for implementing the strategic plan, based on the strategic objectives and key focus and activity areas developed.
a. Institutional strengthening
Indicative activities are proposed under the Institutional Strengthening section in Annex III.
This Strategic Plan has developed a Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threats (SWOT) analysis to guide CISLAC optimism and expectations. It gives knowledge on how the organisation looks at its positive attributes and also its negative attributes. It also looks at areas where there are openings to engage in new frontier and understand and tackle risks that many be inherent.
b. Capacity building
Indicative activities are proposed under the Capacity Building section in Annex 1.CISLAC has prepared a Capacity Development Plan to address the skills and capacity gaps required to implement the Strategic Plan over the next five years. The plan addresses the needs for capacity development at all the organisational levels. The plan also identifies sources of technical support to implement the plan, taking into consideration existing technical expertise.
c. Resource mobilization
On finalization of this Strategic Plan, CISLAC will mobilise financial resources to achieve the objectives and broad strategies identified in its Strategic plan. CISLAC board and staff will take the lead in engaging with current and potential development partners to assist in providing the resources needed.
d. Partnerships
To realize our strategic objectives, the activities under the new Strategic Plan are intended to be designed and implemented jointly with partners. The existing partnership both at national, regional and international levels will be strengthened while new partnerships are envisioned to enhance effectiveness of strategies for engaging at a broader range of sectors. New partnerships are needed to address the proposed capacity development and knowledge management activity areas.

e. Communication
CISLAC recognises the very important role the media plays in dissemination of information and shaping of public opinion. Over the years, CISLAC has developed a good rapport with about 35 media outfits / practitioners consisting of print and electronic media.
CISLAC has created civil society awareness through the publication and dissemination of a monthly newsletter Legislative Digest that has been in circulation for both public and legislative consumption since 2006. It has been a central medium of accountability, as it provides citizens a platform to monitor the performance of their Legislators, and a channel for Civil Society Organizations advocacy on critical issues that require legislative intervention. Also, CISLAC has a wide range of publications such as Textbooks and Policy Briefs, which examines policies requiring amendment and providing recommendations.
Presently, CISLAC has an interactive website, a Twitter account and Facebook page, where programme activities, communiques and emerging issues are shared and discussed.
CISLAC's Facebook account currently has 2,432 followers, with 2,436 likes and has a reach of over 12, 000 - 13, 000 as at the last six months.
On the Twitter account, CISLAC has 2,217 followers made up of legislators, development workers, international organisations and other stakeholders.
CISLAC has a Communication Strategy to achieve the objectives outlined in the Strategic Plan according to the stakeholders' structure, see. Annex with the communication strategy.
CISLAC's communication objective is 'to support the organisation internal, external communication needs and enhance its visibility among relevant stakeholders through the deployment of holistic communication tools, proactive and reactive media motions'.
f. Results Framework
Annex II presents the results framework for guiding the implementation of the Strategic Plan, as well as for measuring achievements and making operational adjustments as required. The results framework provides the basis for monitoring and reporting on a regular basis to the donors, partners and members, and thus constitutes the accountability value that CISLAC subscribes. The outcome indicators are based on the anticipated outcomes for each key result area.
g. Risk Management
Annex presents comprehensive risk analysis.

CISLAC Strategic Plan 2018-2023
12. Annex II: Funding Strategy Outline
The strategy will identify the following actions to be taken:
· Securing personnel and management capacity for implementation of the actions to be supported
· Development of efficient funding leads and contact management system
· Assessment of key donor interests
· Alignment of key messages to mainstream policy priorities and indicators such as equity, environmental rights, social and economic development, security and health – there are clear messages from a number of development cooperation partners that CISLAC's role needs to be clearly defined and adding distinctive value to what is already being undertaken by other stakeholders.
· Development of a programme action plan that ensures effective & measurable interventions which form the basis of all subsequent funding
· Development and implementation of a funding action plan, including initial contacting, meeting individual donors, presentations to donor groups, fundraising tours, and follow-up activities.
Opportunities for Support
This Strategic outlines a broad range of strategies that provides numerous opportunities for partnership, cooperation, and support with many organizations and agencies identified in the stakeholder analysis. As a key targeted area in the Sustainable Development Goals, many donors have allocated substantial resources for improving civil society participation in policy dialogues. These provides a great avenue for CISLAC to resource for and implement the Strategic Plan.
Indicative Activities for Key Result Areas
A number of partners were consulted in the course of preparing the strategy. The following table provides a number of potential initiatives for channelling donor engagement with the strategic plan result areas. It presents a list of indicative activities as examples of what can be done by CISLAC to achieve these outcomes. These will be built on and amended during the preparation of annual action plans.
