The Centre for Environment, Human Rights and Development (CEHRD) facilitated BMI Management Meetings to review and discuss the general implementation of the Bodo Clean-up with a view to highlighting the issues that may impede progress and resolve them as appropriate. The Management meeting also identifies and flags potential areas to watch out for in order to troubleshoot issues that could act as clogs in the wheel of progress of the Bodo Clean-up. The management meeting is attended by different stakeholders including Bodo Community represented by the Bodo Contact Committee (BCC), Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC), the Bodo Mediation Initiative (BMI) Secretariat and Directorate Office as well as the Civil Society representative, CEHRD. The Town hall meeting provided the platform for the BMI to interact directly with the community on the leadership crisis and the role of some the youths in the violence/destruction that followed. The action of these youths effect this has had on the project were condemned and the people encouraged to embrace dialogue and peace in the resolution of the leadership tussle. Part of the outcomes of the Town Hall include the expression of remorse by the youths for their actions and the commitment to send letters of apology to the contractors affected by the incident. A total of 6 Management meetings, including 2 Emergency meetings were conducted in the third quarter of this second year of the project. The two Emergency meetings focused on the leadership crisis in Bodo community which not only impacted negatively progress of work but ultimately disrupted the clean-up.
