Odav’s Empowerment for Progress Foundation (OEPF) is a proud partner in advancing Nigeria’s Renewed Hope Agenda, a transformative vision launched by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to foster inclusive growth, security, and prosperity across the nation. By aligning our innovative, tech-enabled, and community-led programs with the agenda’s priority areas, OEPF is driving sustainable development, empowering vulnerable populations—particularly women, youth, and children—and contributing to a stronger, more equitable Nigeria. Together with our partners, donors, and volunteers, we are turning the promise of Renewed Hope into reality, one community at a time.

Understanding the Renewed Hope Agenda

The Renewed Hope Agenda, introduced in 2023, is a bold roadmap to address Nigeria’s critical challenges, including poverty, insecurity, and economic stagnation, while unlocking the nation’s immense potential. Its key priorities include:

  • Economic Reform: Delivering sustained, inclusive growth through industrialization, digitalization, and innovation.

  • Food Security: Ensuring self-sufficiency in agriculture to combat hunger and boost rural economies.

  • Job Creation: Providing opportunities for youth and entrepreneurs through skills training and access to capital.

  • Social Inclusion: Empowering women, youth, and vulnerable groups to reduce inequalities.

  • Infrastructure Development: Building modern housing, roads, and digital infrastructure to support growth.

  • Governance and Transparency: Strengthening institutions for effective service delivery and accountability.

  • Security: Enhancing national peace and stability to create a safe environment for development.

  • Anti-Corruption: Promoting fairness and rule of law to build trust in governance.

These priorities, outlined in the Renewed Hope 2023 Action Plan, guide Nigeria’s path to becoming a global investment hub and a trillion-dollar economy within a decade. OEPF’s programs are strategically designed to support these goals, amplifying the agenda’s impact at the grassroots level.

How OEPF Supports the Renewed Hope Agenda

OEPF’s six flagship programs—Meals to Learn, Ready4Life, Smart Women, Strong Communities, Tech4Growth, Capability Modeling & Policy Advisory, and Sustain & Grow—are tailored to advance the Renewed Hope Agenda’s priorities. Below is how each program contributes to specific pillars of the agenda:

Food Security and Economic Growth

  • Program: Meals to Learn

  • Contribution: By providing nutritious meals to 100,000 children across 15 LGAs by 2028, we combat hunger, improve school attendance, and stimulate local economies by sourcing produce from community farmers. This aligns with the agenda’s focus on food security and agricultural self-sufficiency.

  • Impact Example: In one LGA, our program reduced child malnutrition and increased farmer incomes by 40%, supporting rural economic growth.

Job Creation and Digitalization

  • Programs: Ready4Life, Tech4Growth

  • Contribution: Ready4Life trains 50,000 youth in digital skills, entrepreneurship, and certifications, while Tech4Growth equips 5,000 youth and women with expertise in web development, AI, and IoT by 2028. These initiatives create pathways to tech jobs and startups, supporting the agenda’s emphasis on youth employment and digital economy growth.

  • Impact Example: A Tech4Growth graduate launched a web design business, employing peers and contributing to Nigeria’s digital ecosystem.

Social Inclusion and Women’s Empowerment

  • Program: Smart Women, Strong Communities

  • Contribution: Empowering 10,000 rural women by 2026 with agribusiness training, financial literacy, and market access, we promote gender equality and economic inclusion, aligning with the agenda’s focus on uplifting vulnerable groups.

  • Impact Example: A women’s cooperative now supplies snacks to schools, doubling their income and inspiring community leadership.

Infrastructure and Sustainability

  • Program: Sustain & Grow

  • Contribution: By deploying solar-powered water systems, smart agro-tech, and waste-to-energy solutions, we support sustainable infrastructure and climate resilience, aiming to establish three sustainability labs by 2026. This aligns with the agenda’s push for green growth and infrastructure development.

  • Impact Example: A solar irrigation system increased crop yields for 50 farmers, reducing reliance on erratic rainfall.

Governance and Institutional Reform

  • Program: Capability Modeling & Policy Advisory

  • Contribution: Serving 10 MDAs and 15 academic institutions by 2027 with data-driven policy tools and capacity diagnostics, we strengthen governance and support evidence-based decision-making, aligning with the agenda’s focus on transparency and effective service delivery.

  • Impact Example: A state MDA adopted our youth employment model, creating 500 tech jobs, enhancing institutional efficiency.

Cross-Cutting Support

  • All Programs

  • Contribution: Through partnerships with MDAs, development agencies (UN, USAID, GIZ), and local communities, we foster collaboration to advance the agenda’s goals of inclusivity, anti-corruption, and security by creating stable, empowered communities.

  • Impact Example: Collaboration with UN Women enhanced Smart Women, Strong Communities, providing women with funding and market access.

Note: Impact examples are illustrative based on typical program outcomes. OEPF can replace them with real case studies as programs progress.

Why Our Support for Renewed Hope Matters

The Renewed Hope Agenda is a call to action for all Nigerians to work together to address systemic challenges and build a prosperous future. OEPF’s role is critical because we translate this national vision into grassroots impact, focusing on the most vulnerable populations—women, youth, and children. Our programs not only deliver immediate benefits, such as meals or skills training, but also contribute to long-term systemic change through policy reform, digital inclusion, and sustainable infrastructure.

By aligning with the agenda’s priorities, OEPF ensures that our work supports Nigeria’s ambition to become a global investment hub and a leader in Africa’s development. Our partnerships with government, international organizations, and communities amplify this impact, creating a collaborative ecosystem that drives progress. Every child fed, youth employed, woman empowered, or policy improved is a step toward realizing the Renewed Hope vision.
