The steps are:
- Interaction between corps members and community stakeholders to identify the felt needs of the community;
- Identification of sources of funds and relevant linkages for the project.
- Preparation of a viable proposal with the guidance of Local Government and Zonal Inspectors containing the following:-
Introduction
Name of project
Estimated cost of project
Source of funding
Expected time of completion
Proposed date of commissioning.
The work plan should be attached and it should contain the following: activities and time frame, period of report submission and documentation, etc - Approval of project by the NYSC Secretariat after consultation with the Zonal and Local Government Inspectors;
- Mobilizing resources in consultation with community members from the community, Local Government Council, Government and Non-Government Organizations as well as public spirited philanthropists. On no account should Corps members write letters to government, parastatals and private organizations without passing through the State Coordinator.
- Ensuring contact with linkages relevant to the execution of the project jointly carried out by corps member(s) and the community;
- Execution of the project;
- Submission of bimonthly progress report with documentary/pictorial evidence;
- Submission of completion report to the NYSC State Secretariat
- Commissioning and handing over to the Community; and
- Giving of feedback to persons that donated towards the execution of the project.
The community participatory approach built into the aforementioned steps allows for decision making on project to be jointly taken which ultimately leads to sustainability of such projects and community ownership
