Our integrated and dynamic planning approach is especially relevant in addressing the complex range of issues that confront the public and private sectors at the regional level. Over the past five years, for example, we have played a major part in assisting the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) with the preparation and implementation of the Niger Delta Regional Development Plan, which deals with a vast range of inter-related challenges and issues ranging from poverty reduction, HIV Aids through to conflict resolution, stakeholder engagement and delivery mechanisms for a wide array of spatial planning policies and proposals.
