Facilitating Dialogue in the Niger Delta through Participatory Evaluation
From June through August 2008, CBI led a Participatory Stakeholder Evaluation of the main community engagement strategy of the second-largest oil producer in Nigeria’s Niger Delta. Representatives from Niger Delta communities, Nigeria’s government, local non-profits and Chevron Nigeria Ltd. jointly designed and conducted the evaluation in a process facilitated by CBI. The evaluation produced credible, public information about Chevron’s engagement strategy ahead of a renegotiation process that began later in the year between the company, the communities and the government.
