As part of their resolution to continually improve and deliver sustainable solutions, HAI recognizes the importance of equipping their team members with the necessary skills and expertise. It is with this foresight that Queen Ogunwusi, in her capacity as Deputy Convener of HAI, undertook the rigorous Monitoring and Evaluation for Humanitarian Programs Workshop at the renowned Harvard Humanitarian Initiative (HHI)



Queen Temitope Enitan Ogunwusi, the Deputy Convener of Hopes Alive Initiative for Africa (HAI), has successfully concluded a transformative short course on Monitoring and Evaluation for Humanitarian Programs at the prestigious Harvard Humanitarian Initiative (HHI). The course, which took place at HHI's renowned campus, Cambridge, Massachusetts provided Queen Ogunwusi with invaluable knowledge and skills to enhance the impact of HAI's projects across Africa, in line with global standards, best practices, and the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).


The Monitoring and Evaluation for Humanitarian Programs Workshop offered by HHI is widely recognized as a leading platform for professionals in the humanitarian sector seeking to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of their initiatives. The workshop provided Queen Ogunwusi with an immersive learning experience focused on monitoring and evaluating humanitarian programs.

The training also emphasized the importance of meeting the United Nations' MDGs, which serve as a blueprint for achieving sustainable development worldwide.



Throughout the course, Queen Ogunwusi had the opportunity to work with esteemed individuals as a team from prominent organizations such as the Penny Appeal USA, United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and the World Health Organization (WHO). Together, they embarked on a case study project focusing on how Penny Appeal USA implements Solar Power Water Centers across three countries (Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan). This real-world project presented an ideal opportunity for Queen Ogunwusi to acquire practical insights and strategies to improve the implementation, evaluation, and sustainability of similar endeavors carried out by HAI in Africa.


With a newfound understanding of monitoring and evaluation methodologies, Queen Ogunwusi aims to revolutionize the way HAI engages with underserved communities. By involving these communities directly in the planning, execution, and maintenance of projects, Queen Ogunwusi envisions a future where each initiative becomes an enduring asset owned by the communities it serves. This approach fosters a sense of empowerment, ensuring that HAI's impact will continue to benefit generations to come.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

BREAKING: PDP Bleeds in Oriade: Commissioner Loses 14 Party Leaders to Wole Oke in Home Ward

In a significant political shift, 14 grassroots leaders, including prominent women and youth coordinators from Ward 11, covering Ijeda and Iloko in Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State, have resigned from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and pledged allegiance to Hon. Wole Oke’s growing political camp in the All Progressives Congress (APC). The mass resignation, formalized in a jointly signed letter, marks a deepening crack within the PDP structure in Oriade, as key mobilizers abandon the party over what they describe as years of marginalization, poor internal democracy, and a lack of direction. Their defection is also seen as a major boost to Wole Oke’s political momentum within the APC, following his recent and controversial departure from the PDP. “We are grateful for the opportunities and experiences we had as PDP members,” the group stated, “but the party no longer reflects our values or aspirations. We believe in Hon. Wole Oke’s leadership and vision, and we are proud to...

I Will Pay $10M If Nnamdi Kanu Curtail Insecurity, Ezendigbo Challenge FG, S' East Politicians

The Founder of the Better Nigeria For Better People, Chief. CBN Onwuasoanya Ezendigbo, has lambasted the former Governor of Anambra State and the Presidential candidate in the last general elections under the Labour Party, Peter Obi, for facilitating efforts towards Nnamdi Kanu's release from detention. Ezendigbo, in a statement released on Thursday said that, Nnamdi Kanu lack power to stop insecurity in Southeast Nigeria. According to the former Presidential Aspirant, "Let's have a road map for a 2-month cease-fire agreement to demonstrate that to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) would stop insecurity. He's just a political football fan for politicians, he said." "I am challenging both the federal government and Southeast politicians with $10M (Ten Million Dollars), they should tell Nnamdi Kanu if there will be no sit-at-home, no kidnapping in the region, that will give guarantee that he has control over insecurity in the southea...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
