#FiCS - Oyebisi Babatunde Oluseyi of the Nigeria Network of NGOs

As momentum builds toward the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development #FFD4 Oyebisi Babatunde Oluseyi, Executive Director of the Nigeria Network of NGOs, joins us to highlight the essential role of community voices in shaping development projects. In this conversation, he stresses that meaningful, inclusive development can only be achieved when the perspectives and lived experiences of local communities are centered in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of development finance initiatives. With Public Development Banks increasingly pivotal in mobilizing resources for sustainable development, Oluseyi calls for mechanisms that ensure community participation and accountability in decision-making.
