AFOR Mixed Development Project

The AFOR Mixed Development Project is a phased “jobs + housing + essential services” development planned for Afor Community (Ndokwa East LGA), Delta State. The project is structured to deliver employment opportunities through a coordinated package of infrastructure and commercial sub-projects, while providing affordable housing close to where people work.

Project at a glance:

• Proposed location: Afor Community, Ndokwa East LGA, Delta State, Nigeria
• Primary purpose: Sustainable jobs creation + affordable housing delivery through a work-to-own model
• Delivery model: Phased build-out of multiple income-generating workstreams (not all at once)
• Key workstreams: Clean power, water supply, greenhouse/agriculture, pharmaceuticals, leisure/entertainment, housing
• Beneficiaries: Job seekers, low-income families, local communities, and supply-chain participants
• Primary constraint: Capital mobilisation and enabling infrastructure readiness

The current stage is pre-implementation: strengthening investor readiness, partner coordination, and the governance structure required for controlled rollout. The intention is to establish early operational units and an employment pipeline, then scale housing and services in line with workforce growth and demand.

• Project Leadership / Owner Team
  Responsible for strategy, land pathway, partner mobilisation, investor engagement, and overall delivery accountability.
• Development & Delivery Partners
  Specialist partner organisations supporting core workstreams such as power, water, agriculture/greenhouse systems, pharmaceuticals, construction/housing delivery, and leisure/entertainment facilities.
• Local Community Stakeholders (Afor and surrounding areas)
  Community leaders and hosts supporting local alignment, access, workforce onboarding, and sustained engagement throughout phased implementation.
• Beneficiaries (Workers and Housing Participants)
  Individuals gaining employment and entering the work-to-own housing pathway, with follow-up support through structured onboarding and service access.
• Government / Regulatory Stakeholders
  Enabling coordination required for land processes, permits, approvals, compliance, and long-term integration with state development priorities.
• Investors / Donors / Funding Partners
  Parties providing the capital required for land acquisition, phased infrastructure, and early mobilisation, supported by transparent reporting and evidence-based progress outputs.
• PHC Governance & Reporting Team (optional but recommended)
  Structured monitoring, risk control, delivery discipline, and funder-ready evidence outputs to maintain confidence, prevent drift, and support scalable rollout across multiple workstreams.
• Contractors / Suppliers / Service Providers
  Construction, logistics, materials, equipment, utilities, and operational support services required for delivery.
• Independent Observers / Advisors (optional)
  Independent review support to strengthen credibility, assurance, and stakeholder confidence where required.

The project will be delivered through the standard three-phase Project Health Control (PHC) deployment model. Each phase is designed to add structured governance, reduce risk, and establish mechanisms for traceable value contribution, without placing unnecessary burden on participants or host agencies.

• Pre-start 7-Day Review: PHC Tooling used to produce a ‘green light’ Report.
• Setup Phase: A rapid 2-month deployment of core PHC Systems.
• Continuation Phase: A renewable 12-month operational period focused on scalability and localized implementation.

Timeline: 1 Week

Focus: Diagnostic review to confirm feasibility, define participant roles, and assess pilot readiness.

Activities:

• Conduct stakeholder briefings to introduce PHC methodology. Identify suitable host location(s) and participant recruitment strategy.
• Perform SCALPED-based analysis to review concerns, actions, stakeholder fit, and expected deliverables.
• Align with [project owner/sponsor] compliance requirements and ensure non-interference with UC eligibility.
• Produce a “Go / No-Go” advisory report, including:
• Risk map
• Participant role profiles
• Timeline for Setup Phase
• Baseline concerns register

Deliverables:

• PHC 7-Day Review Report (with SCALPED indicators)
• Draft stakeholder map and engagement plan
• Participant intake strategy
• Pilot budget confirmation aligned to Appendix 6 cost model
• A "Go / No-Go" advisory summary

Timeline: 2 Months

Focus: Onboarding and setup of PHC systems, consultant induction, and local engagement.

Activities:

• Finalise list of participants and assign Trainee roles.
• Deploy PHC Timechunk tracking system and assign access credentials.
• Conduct orientation and light training for participants (e.g. PHC Portal usage, activity recording).
• Define expected hour allocations (e.g. 33–36 hours/month).
• Appoint PHC Mentors and Consultant oversight team.
• Engage local host organisation for logistical and moral support.

Deliverables:

• Fully operational PHC dashboard for tracking
• Trainee onboarding complete, with assigned goals
• Risk mitigation plan (live)
• Public communication materials (optional)

Timeline: 3 Months (Renewable)

Focus: Real-time monitoring, adaptive support, and data gathering for public value evaluation.

Activities:

• Weekly tracking of Trainee time entries and issue logging
• Monthly reviews with Mentors and participating bodies
• Performance-based progression to Admin level (optional)
• Evaluation of participant satisfaction, skill acquisition, and system integrity
• Prepare summary reporting for funders, public bodies, or potential scale-up discussion

Deliverables:

• Regular Project Health Reports and Performance Reviews.
• Scalable team structure, with additional Consultants deployed as needed.
• Annual Stakeholder Review and Renewal Plan.

Near-term outcomes (0–3 months)

• A clear phased delivery plan defining scope, workstream priorities, and mobilisation sequence.
• Stakeholder map and engagement plan covering community, partners, government, and funding parties.
• Defined minimum operating structure (People / Finance / Reporting / Partner coordination).
• Baseline risk and readiness register to prevent execution drift and protect investor confidence.
• Funder-ready evidence pack established (milestones, actions, early readiness proof, documentation discipline).

Medium-term outcomes (3–12 months)

• Capital mobilisation progress enabling early works and phased infrastructure rollout.
• Formalised delivery governance routines (monthly reporting, controlled spend, progress evidence publishing).
• Early operational units mobilised and the employment pipeline activated.
• Initial implementation packages progressed (site readiness, priority utilities, early construction steps).
• Improved investor and stakeholder confidence through repeatable proof outputs and controlled delivery cadence.

Longer-term outcomes (12+ months)

• A scalable integrated development model (jobs + housing + services) proven in Delta State.
• Growing workforce participation and stabilised livelihoods through sustainable job creation.
• Affordable housing delivered under a reliable work-to-own mechanism that strengthens long-term community stability.
• A replicable programme template that can be extended to additional zones as funding and demand expand.
• Stronger local economic growth through supply-chain expansion, skills development, and new enterprise activity.

Footnote - People Costs and PICS Eligibility: The people-related costs shown above relate to funded governance, delivery, leadership, and trainee roles agreed at the outset of the project. These paid hours are not eligible for PICS (Pro Bono Social Impact Credits). PICS applies only to unpaid or underpaid service contributed outside funded roles. PHC Service maintains a clear, auditable separation between funded work and any pro-bono contribution, preventing double recognition while ensuring transparency to funders.
