The goal of this partnership is to reach out to the poor farmers at the grassroots level to cater for their housing, shelter and sustainable built environments need. The partnership is geared to address the provision of world-class, clean environments by building a 21st-century city in the rural part of Africa that properly harnessed the renewable energy, clean water, healthy and resilient sustainable aspects of life. This will ensure the inward-looking of the farmers, young women and youths to stay and develop the rural communities instead of abandoning these places and discouraging economic migration.

A methodology is used to structure, plan, and control the process of implementing the system of operation and realization of a stated project. An implementation method tailored to the project is a prerequisite for successful implementation of the objectives, vision and mission of this partnership. This involves the putting together of the overall and estimated costing, proper planning, controlling and monitoring the necessary tasks and budget towards the realization of the project. This initiative is structured in a way to start with the Pilot scheme and followed with Phased implementation programme (PiP). Knowing that implementing your strategic plan is as important, or even more important, than your strategy, this project will start with conducting a SWOT analysis of the situation on the ground. SWOT analysis (stands for analysing the Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat) of the process of turning the plans into workable accomplishing actions. t involves many steps and stages right from the start, planning for project implementation, analysis, design, implementation, transition and operations. Our initiatives are carried out by doing the following: • Project Planning: Proper planning of the implementation process of the project shall be made and designed. Resources should be allocated and the team members have to be selected. The project will also involve the design of 2 bedroom low-cost building using locally sourced laterite or earth brick using interlocking technologies from South Africa • Analysis GAP: GAP analysis is performed to analyze the current situation of the organization and its future position as needed. • Training: Training of team members and associates to understand and work with the implementation process and schedules in the life cycle of the project implementation. • Testing: Testing is an important step and is carried out so that the errors can be found and resolved before the actual application process. • Application: After setup and testing is completed, the actual implementation is done. The test running of the solar system for example and the renewable energy units of the rural or grassroots housing for the farmers is carried out • Maintenance: Maintenance is carried out in the post-implementation life cycle of the projects implementation phase. Any teething problems are identified and users or stakeholders are trained to learn how to deal with it. Maintenance culture is also an important stage in the life cycle and sequence of operation in realizing the SDGs platforms.

Capacity building and technology transfer is an important segment in the realization and continuity of the drive towards sustainable cities and communities by fostering the processes by which technological knowledge, in its various forms, moves to those at the grassroots and rural areas in Sub Saharan Africa. Capacity Building and Technology Transfer has to do with the building of experience, confidence and knowledge on technology transformation through training programmes for the end user of the housing and agricultural endeavor that was put in place in the localities. Many of these farmers and local inhabitants do lack competence and appropriate practical knowledge, experience and exposure to make a success of the objectives of the SDG mandates. Through this project initiatives, we are going to encourage and where appropriate use incentives to create an enabling environment for knowledge transfer to share with the stakeholders and beneficiaries, expertise and best practices that will help boost their ability to turn known knowledge into new, commercialised products and services and help foster more cross-border investments.Players and team members are made to understand the dynamics associated with 21st century agricultural supply and demand and the expertise to address high yield and affordable housing for the rural and urban poor alike. This is being done by addressing the following: Development of a capacity-building strategy and the use of social techniques that include coaching, mentoring, workshops, courses, training materials, social media and other forms of exchanging and transferring of best practices.2) The analyses and validation of the implementation plan by stakeholders and end users alike. 3) We are also to promote the development and dissemination of tools and methodologies for the implementation of knowledge-based agricultural practices and affordable housing provision such as training the local village people how to use the brick moulding hydra form machine;rUltimate leading to the identification and collecting good practices behaviour, customs, challenges, experiences, and lessons learned from the rural work activities that will be disseminated in International conference and UN policy papers that can be transferred to other regions of the developing world and countries.

The lead consultant in this partnership is BEYOND BUILDING SYSTEMS LIMITED with an office in London UK and Lagos, Nigeria. Beyond Building Systems as lead agent and coordinating arm of the partnership is committed to the development of the built environment in Sub-Saharan Africa. Beyond Building Systems has a research and development (R & D) unit that has carried out research in Sub-Saharan Africa. Dr Odeyale one of the owners of the Beyond Building Systems has published his research output in international conference and journals around the world. Hence, Dr Odeyale (Beyond Building Systems) advocated for a homegrown solution to the integrated problems of migration, poverty and urbanisation by calling on the local organisation and companies (Global Grandeur & Associates Ltd, Lagos, Nigeria; Eckolanray Nigeria Limited; MAPLES Limited, and NOVEL Limited, Clean Energy. In order to find a lasting solution to these stated problems and to meet UN SDG goals. The various partners and team members report directly to Dr Odeyale of BEYOND BUILDING SYSTEMS LIMITED UK that supervise and monitor the implementation of the design and vision of the partnership.
