Considering the age-long debate among some scholars and development professionals who have argued that every year, huge amount of financial and human resources are being deployed by international development agencies, and NGOs to improve the living conditions of millions of poor people living in most African countries, yet most of these interventions are not achieving the objectives expected, Dikeocha (2024) investigated to know the validity of this postulation by exploring the intersection of participatory communication, role-players engagement, and project proposal in achieving far-reaching impact and success of development interventions in Africa. The findings showed that 25% of the 48 development interventions evaluated were failed projects, 64.58% projects came midway, and 10.42% projects were successful. The study postulated a conceptual framework called Farreach framework which can facilitate the achievement of far-reaching impact and success of development interventions in Africa. The adoption of the Farreach framework inspired the development of FarreachOne.
FarreachOne is the implementation platform for the Farreach Framework. It enables the user to understand better and implement effective role-players’ engagement or stakeholders’ engagement; implement effective intersection of role-players’ engagement, participatory communication, and project proposal; and implement effective monitoring, evaluating, learning, and reporting of a development intervention especially in a participatory or inclusive development.The intersection of participatory communication, role-players engagement, and project proposal determines the outcome of a development intervention in a participatory development Dikeocha (2024).FarreachOne is useful to core beneficiaries of development intervention, researchers, development professionals, consultants, NGOs, donor agencies, and government agencies who are interested in understanding participatory development and how to improve the performance of development intervention in a participatory development.Finally, sustainable development cannot be achieved without participatory development. This makes the engagement of FarreachOne very useful to development professionals and other role-players.
