The Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) has approved the Soludozie Anambra Framework, an initiative designed to strengthen public private community partnerships and encourage collective participation in the state’s development.
The approval was reached at the Council’s 18th meeting for Solution 2.0, held at the Light House, Awka, on Monday, November 9, 2026.
According to a statement issued after the meeting, the framework will provide an organised platform for Ndi Anambra at home and in the diaspora, as well as other development partners, to collaborate with the state government on development projects.
Under the arrangement, government involvement will generally be limited to documentation, recognition and support where requested, while donors and partners will directly manage their funds and projects.
The Council said the initiative was designed to promote inclusive development and position Anambra as a model of collective governance through stronger collaboration among government, communities and private partners.
In another major decision, ANSEC directed that Ogbodi community in Amichi, which has been cut off by erosion, should be reconnected within two weeks through temporary remedial measures.
The Council also directed that work should immediately commence on assessing and planning a permanent solution to the erosion problem.
On environmental protection, the Council reiterated that government intervention in erosion affected communities would prioritise areas demonstrating responsible environmental practices.
It warned communities against activities such as illegal sand excavation, indiscriminate tree felling, deforestation, dumping refuse in drainage channels and directing stormwater onto roads.
The Council cautioned that communities engaging in such practices would not receive priority attention for erosion intervention, while individuals responsible for prohibited activities could face prosecution.
The decisions form part of the state government’s efforts to address environmental challenges, strengthen community participation and accelerate development across Anambra State.
