Narratives on old age and ageing in this part of the world are bedevilled with painful apprehension, panic, despair and resignation to misfortune. These challenges are also signs and symptoms of societal deficiencies like infant mortality and youth unemployment
They are clear signs that society is failing in its responsibilities. They all need immediate remedies through New Policy Directions.
Trainee Psychological Counselors’ Understanding of Ethicsinventionjournals
The Personal values and professional ethical codes are primary resources for practicing psychological counselors. Ethical dilemmas occur when personal values and professional ethical rules are incompatible. We examined the trainee counselors’ understanding of professional ethics. This qualitative study used vignette analysis with 68 undergraduate Turkish students. Using vignettes, the trainees indicated their approaches towards confidentiality, romantic relationships with former clients, curiosity, relationship boundaries, information sharing, self-disclosure, respect for privacy, and reports to third parties. Results revealed the need for ethics education and showed that many trainees would have difficulty with regard to identifying ethical dilemmas.

CPR Diamond Model Concepts & ApplicationsElmer Esplana
The CPR Diamond Model is a national development model being promoted by the Club of Professional Researchers, a voluntary research organization of young professionals and leaders with memberships in the government (G), private sector (PS) and civil society organization (CS).
It is based on the idea that it is the responsibility of every Filipino, particularly our leaders (G, PS, CS) at the local and national levels to collectively solve the problems and needs of Philippine society.
people centric development is one of the rarely discussed concept but is highly important topic in the present day advanced world. this presentation gives idea about different concepts like peoples participation, capacity building, facilitation of extension personnels, multistakeholder interactions, brokering in extension, innovation platforms etc. it gives a basic idea about all these concepts
A strategic approach to policy engagement for research organisationsJames Georgalakis
This is the presentation delivered as part of a two day workshop held in Nepal in 2014 aimed at communications professionals or the point person for communication within fifteen South Asian think tanks. Participants explored how they could adopt a systematic approach to planning research or knowledge outputs for policy engagement and influence. They explored the types of influencing outcomes they are focused on and their individual and institutional capacities to deliver strategic communication and policy engagement work. By the end of the workshop it was hoped that each participating institution would have identified a clear set of steps towards the development of a strategic approach to policy engagement and research communication at an institutional or programmatic level.
This workshop formed part of the IDRC funded Think Tanks Initiative South Asia programme. http://www.idrc.ca/EN/Programs/Social_and_Economic_Policy/Think_Tank_Initiative/Pages/About.aspx

The failure of researchers to link evidence to policy and practice produces evidence that no one uses, impedes innovation, and leads to mediocre or even detrimental development policies. To help improve the definition, design, and implementation of policy research, researchers should adopt a strategic outcome-oriented approach.
Dr Margo Greenwood (March 2017) Community- Based Participatory Research: A S...Sightsavers
This presentation was delivered at IAFOR’s Asian Conference on Education and International Development (ACEID) 2017 in Kobe, Japan.
Presentation abstract:
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) in an education context equitably involves teachers, pupils, community members, organisational representatives and researchers, with a commitment to sharing power and resources and drawing on the unique strengths that each partner brings. The aim through this approach is to increase knowledge and understanding of a given phenomenon and integrate the knowledge gained into interventions, policy and social change to improve the health and quality of life of those in the school community. Sightsavers, a disability-focused iNGO, has been implementing a community-based participatory research approach (CBPR) within its education and social inclusion research in the global South. This paper describes the CBPR methodology, how it works within international development, and its impact on Sightsavers interventions in schools. Specific reference will be made to working with teachers as peer researchers – including those with disabilities, training material for peer researchers, CBPR ethical principles, and community analysis of data.

CONCEPTS, THEORIES AND METHODS IN THE POLITICS OF FRANCOPHONE AFRICA IN THE P...TANKO AHMED fwc
Concepts, theories, and methods project subjects of study beyond mere technical definitions.
They widen views, heighten propositions, and broaden approaches befitting scholastic practices.
The ‘Politics of Francophone Africa’ comprises of three flowing variables of ‘politics’, ‘francophone’ and ‘Africa’
This lecture discusses how to create and use concepts, theories and methods for the course theme.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND TO POLITCS OF FRANCOPHONE AFRICATANKO AHMED fwc
Modern African political structures and processes were greatly influenced by the continent’s colonial past.
The two major colonial powers in Africa were Britain and France.
The French are known for stringent policies of controlling their colonies and subjects.
POLITICS OF FRANCOPHONE AFRICA: GENERAL INTRODUCTION TANKO AHMED fwc
The modern world is divided into spheres of influence with historical origins from the era of building empires to the age of creating nation-states.
This processed featured the socio-cultural expansion to outreached colonialism by super-powers across the world.
Among the European colonial ‘masters’ is France from which the syntagmatic ‘francophone’ originates.
Policing has completed its natural cycle, originating from a community function to a global network, and now back to base as community or universal policing.
The common phrase of ‘Dan’sanda Abokin Kowa’ (police the friend for all) has transformed into the new ‘Dan’sanda Na Kowa’ (policing for all by all).
The process of policing is intrinsically tied to the primary activities of the People.
The Police are the closest government agents to the community level.
Strategic plans involve the setting of vision, mission, goals and objectives, guided by core values of the organisations.
“… strategic planning should be more about collective wisdom building than top-down or bottom-up planning.”
Aimed at setting priorities, focusing energy and resources, strengthening operations, co-opting and galvanising both internal and external stakeholders in attainment of set goals.
Strategic planning is different from the ordinary ad-hoc planning in which few disconnected projects are identified from time to time for implementation (Imobighe, 2014:2) .
It is integral with a comprehensive vision, in which all the vital elements of its resources including human and material, are effectively engaged towards the promotion of the goals and aspirations of the organisation.
The lack of strategic planning is ruinous to the vision, mission, and values of whatever an organization stands for.
In the highly competitive environment, the Nigerian auto-industry, strategic planning is a ‘do or perish’ process without which survival is very difficult in the face of fierce competition and available ‘alternatives’.

The field of security and strategic studies (SSS) is a critical component of political science and international relations in national policies and strategies. SSS serves as a tool for understanding and application of ideas and doctrines in political and social sciences. It is closely associated with national security in nation-building, national development, and the management of national affairs.

EFFECTS OF FLOODING ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: The Case of Jigawa State,...TANKO AHMED fwc
Seen optimistically, flooding could be more of a blessing than a curse especially when it occurs predictably in an area dearth of water resources. This paper describes flooding in its basics, discusses its causes and effects on the socio-economic development of Jigawa State and its people. The paper notes the devastating effects of flood in Jigawa State but also considers what it could have been if it was well-managed. It is assumed that the same flooding would also bring opportunities for socio-economic development against the destruction and miseries. It presupposed that if existing agencies, policies, strategies, and the commitment of the people and governments at all levels are reckoned with, the present equation would be different.
DEVELOPING A PEOPLE’S SECURITY ECOSYSTEM IN A CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENTTANKO AHMED fwc
The paper deploys an analogical approach to the complex topic of developing a people’s security ecosystem centrifugal to the existing national security architecture within a challenging environment. It conceptulises people’s security ecosystem as an adhocratic enhancement to the bureaucratic nature of national security architecture as aspects of national security management and describes the environmental impediments to its development. The paper deploys a system approach in the management process of getting things done by use of resources with the people as core. It views the existing national security architecture as a closed, self-constraint, over-regulated, isolated, restrained, and too bureaucratic against the people’s security ecosystem which is open, extended, flexible, participatory, and adhocratic as it interacts with the environment. The paper argues that the Nigerian security environment is self-afflicted with defective organisational capability, weak interagency synergy, absence of effective communication strategy, and prolonged breakdown in national value re-orientation. The paper attributes the deeply rooted divisive tendencies as precursory to a national psyche in which issues are seen in terms of tribal, ethnic, religious, sectional, and endless highly opinioned dysfunctional conflicts. It establishes the way forward to include the expansion of existing bureaucratic national security architecture to an adhocratic people’s security ecosystem for effective security service delivery. The paper strongly recommends the mass mobilisation of the citizenry, re-organisation of communities, and encouragement of security service entrepreneurship as key approaches to developing a people’s security ecosystem in a challenging environment. Some key suggested implementation strategies range from otherwise neglected civic duties to compulsory community and security service for all able Nigerians.
REMODELING THE POLICE AND POLICING IN NIGERIA: Challenges and Prospects for t...TANKO AHMED fwc
Recent developments including the current community policing programme, the new Police Act, the EndSARS protests, and a supportive Police Trust Fund provide the catalyst for remodeling the Police and policing in Nigeria. This presentation addresses the process of modeling the ideal police officer with particular attention to the challenges and prospects for the Nigeria Police Academy cadet-graduates. The paper discusses the meaning and philosophy of police and policing, and reflects on the work environment within which they operate. It argues that police officers are often on their own in thinking out strategies, planning operations, or calculating tactics. The paper employs the social learning theory to capture the mission, vision, and philosophy of the Academy in producing the ideal police officer for Nigeria. The trendy figurative phrase of ‘the thin blue line’ policing documentary movie is deployed to depict the complex challenges and prospects for the police in society. The paper projects the Police as the force holding back chaos to allow for order and civilisation to thrive; at the same time striving to practice good policing within its enclave. It describes command and leadership acquired by the POLAC cadet-graduates as a necessary tool for wading through the dysfunctional work environment hindering the police and policing in Nigeria. A simulation exercise is specially designed for the POLAC graduating Cadets on how to form a networking platform as preparation for facing the challenges and prospects of a technology-driven world. The presentation summaries key observations for a conclusion, with recommendations and implementation strategies on the way forward.

basic Prayer of any conference IN which
specific issues are tabled for
consideration
• This paper focuses on the theme
‘Creating an Ageing Policy Directions
Towards Successful Ageing in Nigeria’
• It discusses the challenges of Old Age
and Ageing in Nigeria and the way to go
in Policy Directions

5. Opening Quotes
“Life is the art of drawing without eraser, so be careful
while taking any small decisions about valuable pages

John W. Gardner
“There are six myths about old age, that it is a disease,
a disaster. We are mindless, sexless, useless,
powerless, [and] that we are all alike”
Maggi Kuhn

many”
Unknown

7. A Prologue
• Narratives on old age and ageing in this part
of the world is bedeviled with painful
apprehension, panic, despair and resignation
to misfortune.
• These challenges are also signs and
symptoms of societal deficiencies like infant
mortality and youth unemployment
• They are clear signs that society is failing in
its responsibilities
• They all need immediate remedies through
New Policy Directions
8. The Approach
• This paper deliberately veers away from
helpless approach into seeing the brighter
sides, by viewing life as a progressive
process
• It sees life as moving from one point to
another in advancement and improvement for
both the individual and the larger society
• It looks into the nature of policy formulation in
general; suggests new directions; and the
way forward.
10. Of Age and Ageing
• Age is the length of existence, time,
development level, generational scale,
or duration.
• Human history is usually measured and
expressed in terms of years, stages or
phases of life, legal grading, bio-social
level, or state of living.
• They are based on potential lifespan,
adaptability, capacity and roles played
by the individual societal expectations
11. What is Old Age and Ageing?
•Abdul Wahab Pathath (2017) of the
King Faisal University, KSA explains
four main different types.
•They include biological, psychological,
functional and social categories
12. Types of Old Age and Ageing
Biological Aging
Potential Life Span
Psychological Aging
Adaptive capacity
Functional Aging
Level of Capacities
Social Aging
Roles played
13. Theories of Aging
Stochastic Theories
Resultant Living
Programmed Theories
Genetic Programming
The Neuroendocrine Theories
Neuroendocrine Wear and Tear
The Membrane Theory
Cells and Tissue changes
The Hayflick Limit Theory
Cells multiplication limitation
The Mitochondrial Decline
Wining Energy Cycle
The Cross-Linking
Sugar Conversion process
14. A Theoretical Framework
• No one theory is supported by sufficient evidence
to be viewed as conclusive.
• The best scientific guess at present is that aging
is caused by several different mechanisms and
results from a complex interplay between
environmental and genetic factors (Pathath,
2017:22).
This Paper suggests the Third-Life Theory which is
simply based on Life Stages
15. The Third Life Theory of Old Age and Ageing
The Third Life theory of ageing holds that life
may be inconclusive, but could also be
consolidative at apportioned stages including:
1. The Preparatory stage in which the
individual is being prepared for the role to
play in society;
2. The Participatory stage is contributory,
through work, career or any calling; and
3. The Consolidatory stage of life after
retirement which may still be functional
16. Justification for the Third Life Theory
• In the Third Life Theory (TLT) we have the
four typologies of old age and ageing.
• Also, all the other seven theories are
intertwined into the multidisciplinary
theme of this conference; and
• The TLT provides for enhanced strategic
thinking, planning and management for
new Policy Directions
17. The Third Life Option
• The Third Life Option would facilitate a
systemic approach subject to conceptual and
theoretical framing in support of policy
formulation.
• Stakeholders to the Policy on Old Age and
Ageing must be inclusive through
collaboration, cooperation and coordination
in attaining set goals.
18. Old Age and Ageing in Nigeria
• African societies are primarily gerontocratic
in nature, where older people are bestowed
with authority and reverence.
• Unfortunately, there is no existing policy with
specific focus on old age and ageing in
Nigeria.
• Most public policies are weak and often un-
implementable, mainly due to lack of input
and ownership by stakeholders.
20. Policy Directions
• Academic or scholastic analysis of
public policies can only be justified
through innovative contributions to
thinking capacity of policy makers and
stakeholders at large.
• The Nigerian Policy Arena has not
changed much in the entire history of
the nation.
• It is therefore in a chronic state of
stagnation needing urgent remedies
21. Nature of Public Policy in Nigeria
• It is erratic, if not irrational, that it muddles
things up;
• It fails to be responsive to public demands
therefore hardly ever meets set goals;
• It lacks the essential attributes of openness,
inclusiveness, transparency, participation
and consultation; and
• It is essentially driven by officialdom, in the
sense that government officials both elected
and un-elected, arrogate to themselves the
wisdom, prerogative and expertise of
controlling and managing the policymaking
process. (Jega, 2003)
22. The Way Forward
The Conference need to come up with well-
defined and thought-out Communiqué.
There is need to improve the thinking
capacity, planning skills, and management
capabilities of policy makers and
stakeholders at large.
Policy makers, strategists and stakeholders to
adopt and conduct strong advocacy towards
policy formulation and implementation cycle.
23. In Conclusion
• The conference theme on new policy
directions for successful Ageing in Nigeria is
timely and desirable.
• Societal deficiencies indicate failure of
responsibilities to the old and ageing; and
require immediate attention by all and sundry.
• The TLT Option is accommodative of both the
individual and the larger society for mutual
benefits
