A Foundation Born from Love
The Acka'a–Hitchman Foundation was not born from a policy brief or a funding opportunity. It was born from love — a daughter's determination to honour the legacy of her parents through something that would outlast grief and become generative for generations.Read the full story
What ACES Is — And What It Is Not
ACES is not a stipend programme. It is not temporary employment dressed in development language. It is a structured enterprise mobility framework — a five-tier progression model that integrates environmental work, certified skills development, and income growth into a single coherent pathway from participation to ownership.Read more
The Problem ACES Addresses
Adikpo and the surrounding communities of Usar District face intersecting challenges: unmanaged waste disposal degrading the local environment, women and youth locked in informal economic activity with no structured pathway upward, and soil health declining in areas where agriculture remains a primary livelihood.Read more
Why Here. Why Now.

Benue State · Usar District
Known as the Food Basket of the Nation, Benue State sits in north-central Nigeria — home to the Tiv, Idoma and Igede peoples. ACES begins in Usar District, Kwande LGA, deliberately away from the urban centre of Makurdi: communities here have sustained themselves through collective action for generations, yet have rarely been the primary focus of structured development investment.
Why Adikpo — The Cycle Completing Itself
Adikpo is the town where Chief J.K. Acka’a was born. In the 1950s, his relative — the royal District Head of Usar — went door to door across the district, imposing a levy on every household to send a young man to London to be educated. The Acka’a–Hitchman Foundation was formed to complete that cycle — to return what Usar gave, multiplied.

Frequently Asked Questions
The full story behind ACES — in depth. Tap any question to read the complete background that sits behind the summaries on the About page.

The Acka’a–Hitchman Foundation was not born from a policy brief or a funding opportunity. It was born from love — a daughter’s determination to honour the legacy of her parents through something that would outlast grief and become generative for generations.

Its roots run deep into the soil of Adikpo, Usar District — the birthplace of its founder’s late father, Chief J.K. Acka’a. The story of how he came to be educated in London, and how an entire district made that possible through an act of collective generosity, is the founding spirit of everything ACES is built to do. See “Why Adikpo” below.

ACES is not a stipend programme. It is not temporary employment dressed in development language. It is a structured enterprise mobility framework — a five-tier progression model that integrates environmental work, certified skills development, and income growth into a single coherent pathway from participation to ownership.

Participants do not simply receive wages. They receive formation. They advance through documented competency benchmarks. They gain certification. And at the highest tier, they graduate into independent micro-enterprises — equipped with tools, supplier access, business registration support, and a sales channel — not a certificate of completion with nowhere to go.

Adikpo and the surrounding communities of Usar District face intersecting challenges: unmanaged waste disposal degrading the local environment, women and youth locked in informal economic activity with no structured pathway upward, and soil health declining in areas where agriculture remains a primary livelihood.

These are not isolated problems. They are symptoms of a deeper structural absence — the lack of a local institution capable of converting community assets into community wealth. ACES is designed to become that institution, beginning with a 12-month demonstration that generates the evidence, the systems, and the leadership required to replicate at scale.

Benue State

Known as the Food Basket of the Nation, Benue State sits in north-central Nigeria, home to the Tiv, Idoma, and Igede peoples. With fertile river valleys, significant agricultural potential, and a population of over six million, Benue has the resources to sustain thriving communities — yet structural gaps in enterprise, waste management, and income mobility persist at the grassroots level. It is precisely this gap between potential and reality that ACES is designed to close.

Usar District, Kwande LGA

Usar District lies within Kwande Local Government Area in the southeast of Benue State — a region rooted in Tiv community life, agricultural tradition, and deep networks of mutual obligation. It is away from the urban centre of Makurdi, which makes it a deliberate choice: the communities here have sustained themselves through collective action and informal enterprise for generations, yet have rarely been the primary focus of structured development investment. ACES begins here, not in spite of the distance from the capital, but because of it.

Why Adikpo — The Cycle Completing Itself

Adikpo is the town where Chief J.K. Acka’a was born. In the 1950s, his relative — the royal District Head of Usar — made an extraordinary decision. Believing in the potential of a young man who wished to be educated in London but had no means to get there, he went door to door across Usar District, imposing a levy on every household and collecting it himself — not because he had to, but because he chose to. That act of collective investment sent a young man to London, where he met a woman named Verdie Annitta Hitchman, built a life, and raised a family.

Chief Acka’a became one of the first Black African male pioneer nurses in the formation of the NHS in post-war Britain — a quiet but significant mark on the history of a nation rebuilding itself. Verdie Annitta was also a nurse. In time, true to the promise that Usar District had collectively invested in, they returned home together.

Together they founded Viewpoint Medical Centre — a state-of-the-art facility that, at its time, was among the finest in the region. It served not only the indigenes of Benue State but drew patients from neighbouring states too, attending to thousands of people in need over many years, until Chief Acka’a’s passing.

Both parents have now passed. The Acka’a–Hitchman Foundation was formed to complete the cycle — to return what Usar gave, multiplied. Not as charity, but as structured opportunity: enterprise pathways, certified skills, and income mobility for the women, youth, and workers of the very district that once, quietly and collectively, changed everything.

“A community invested in one young man’s future. A Foundation now invests in theirs.”
1 · Geographic Replication

After 12 months of documented success, the full ACES governance handbook, certification standards, procurement templates, and income progression framework can be replicated in other wards within Usar District, other LGAs within Benue State, and other Nigerian states — with contextual adaptation but no structural redesign.

2 · Vertical Value Chain Expansion

Phase 2 adds Popping Corn Maize, 1121 Basmati Rice value chains, rice chaff-plastic-sand roofing panels, and digitised enterprise dashboards — deepening income streams without increasing governance complexity.

3 · Enterprise Density Scaling

Within a single territory: additional depots, more participants, additional micro-enterprise clusters, and parallel agricultural operations. Scale through density, not only geography.

  • Modular enterprise tiers — each level is independently certifiable and transferable
  • Standardised certification criteria — documented thresholds, not subjective assessment
  • Governance templates — procurement policies, asset tagging, financial controls built in from Day 1
  • Formation-first methodology — The Rooted Path™ transfers structure, not dependency
  • Digitisable record-keeping — manual precursors designed for future ClearPath Intelligence™ integration
  • Separated roles — Foundation (capacity), private off-taker (commercial), participants (income). No conflict, no concentration risk
  • By Year 2 — pilot-supported operations transition to performance-supported growth, reducing grant dependency
  • Long-term vision — district-wide circular enterprise network, certified rural enterprise academy, structured agricultural buy-back cluster model

Nursery (Level 2)
Plant catalogue, the participants enrolled in the nursery programme, customer orders (sell → order → receipt → pickup/delivery), and customer records with delivery & garden-location QR codes.
1. Build the catalogue. Use + Add item to list each plant and seed with its price.
2. Track propagation. + New batch records a propagation batch; the Seed-to-use traceability chain links seed → batch → plant → sale.
3. Sell and fulfil. Record a sale captures an order (sell → order → receipt → pickup/delivery) and registers the customer.
4. Plan plantings. Use the Coverage calculator and Build a planting guide to plan beautification by area or per home.
Nursery Manager — Performance KPIs
A snapshot of nursery operations, participant oversight and plant-care quality.
Plant & seed catalogue
Seeds, cuttings, seedlings, shrubs, flowers and trees. Record how many units you hold and what the batch cost — enter the purchase in GBP, USD or ₦ and it converts to a live Naira value (and a per-unit ₦ cost) so you know what to sell for, or the value of plants used in free landscaping. Set suggested retail and modest volume-discount tiers (nursery margins are thin).
Propagation batches
Every tray, pot or bed you sow is a batch with an auto ID (e.g. MARIGOLD-2026-05-01-A). Track quantity planted, germination, survival and losses with their cause — this is where the real outcomes live. When seedlings are ready, transfer them to landscaping (free, with location & person), a pilot home (free / in-kind), or sales (with price & buyer). Every transfer — and every recorded loss — reduces the catalogue On-hand stock automatically.
Seed-to-use traceability
An ISCC-style chain-of-custody trail: every unit is traced from seed → seedling → final use, with a mass-balance check that planted = survived + losses, and survived = landscaped + sold + remaining. Download a per-batch certificate from any batch, or the whole-nursery report here.
Nursery stock value & financials
Auto-derived from the propagation batches and catalogue costs — it moves with every sale, free landscaping, pilot-home planting and loss. Direct sales show realised revenue, cost of goods and margin. Pilot homes (free) and free landscaping are valued at cost as in-kind community investment so your books show what was given away and to whom. Stock for sale is what is still growing or in store, at cost and at retail. (Participant/customer Orders & commissions remain in the Income ledger as before.)
Coverage calculator (m²)
How much ground your stock can green. Potential coverage assumes every seed/unit on hand becomes a plant at its spacing; ready-now coverage counts living seedlings in batches not yet transferred. Both update automatically as you add stock or deliver landscaping. Set a plant's spacing in its catalogue entry to fine-tune; otherwise a sensible default for the category is used.
Beautification plan — what to plant where
Your catalogue grouped by landscape role — boundary, home hedges, avenues, frontage colour, by-doors, erosion and food — with the ground each role can green. Auto-derived from each plant’s category and ticked uses, so it updates as you add stock. The ⚠ flag marks anything to keep away from homes, children or pavements.
Landscaping planting guide
When a resident requests landscaping, enter what they ordered (or load it from a linked nursery customer). The system opens a printable guide in a new tab — per-plant care & uses, which plant goes behind which, raised-bed and spacing advice, companion pairings to encourage and clashes to avoid, and the total m² the order covers.
Nursery programme participants
Participants enrolled to sell nursery plants. Only these participants can place nursery orders.
🌿 Herb → spice processing
Some herbs we grow aren't used fresh in Adikpo kitchens and wouldn't sell locally. Instead, the women harvest, clean and dehydrate them into dried spice, packed for an offtaker (e.g. VPNL) who pays them for the work — per kg harvested and per package — and sells the spice on to restaurants and other states. Each run is a processing batch with its own ID; fresh weight in, dried spice and packages out, and what the women are paid.
ℹ️ How a processing batch works
1. Harvest — a woman cuts a fresh herb; you record the herb and the fresh weight (kg) and who did the work.
2. Clean & dehydrate — drying removes most of the water, so the dried weight is a fraction of the fresh (the yield %, ~15–20% for leafy herbs). The app works out the dried kg for you.
3. Pack — dried spice is divided into packages of a set size (e.g. 50 g). The app works out how many packages that makes.
4. Pay & hand over — the offtaker pays the women = (kg fresh × harvest rate) + (packages × packing rate). Mark the batch Sold to offtaker when handed over. If you record the offtaker's sale price, you also see what they make on it.
Orders
Orders come in two ways: a participant sells a plant in their portal (it lands here to confirm & deliver), or you record a sale directly here at the nursery. Confirm pickup/delivery, whether we plant it, then print the customer's QR codes. Delivered orders are what count towards Orders delivered on the dashboard. (Registering a customer / planting above logs what was planted — it isn't a sale on its own.)
Commission paid to the participant on each delivered sale = this % of what the customer paid.
Customers
Customer records with location and a suggested maintenance schedule (used later for garden-maintenance routing). Register whether we only sold plants (the resident plants them) or provided a landscaping service (we planted), and what was planted and how many. Customers can be linked to Streetscape so the planting carries onto their property record. Each has a delivery QR (scans as delivered) and a garden-location QR (captures GPS for routing).
Garden-maintenance pricing
Service prices for garden-maintenance retainers and one-off visits. Only admins can edit these.
Garden-maintenance routes
Garden-maintenance customers (those with a cadence set), pinned by cadence and ordered into a suggested visiting route. Compost/collection routes live in the Route Planner; this map is maintenance customers only.
Route Planner
Map your collection sources, group them into efficient routes, and assign a participant to each. Free OpenStreetMap — no key needed.
Reassign supervision
Project Supervisors can hand over a participant, several participants, or a whole cluster to another supervisor. (You see the people in your clusters; admins see everyone.)
1. Capture each home's location. When you enrol a Source (home/business), stand at the spot and tap “📍 Use my current location.” Existing sources: open them and Edit to add GPS. Only sources with GPS appear on the map.
2. See them on the map. Every located source shows as a coloured dot, coloured by its route group.
3. Group into routes. Either keep your manual clusters (A–D) or tap “Auto-group by proximity” and choose how many routes you want — the planner clusters nearby homes together so each participant covers one tight area.
4. Assign a participant. In the panel, pick a participant for each route. They’ll see those homes as their round. Re-assign any time as the pilot grows.
As you scale, this same map will grow with you:
Now — household collection: group pilot homes into walking/cycling rounds and assign participants.
Adding homes later: a new source appears on the map as soon as its GPS is saved; assign it to the nearest existing route, or re-balance with Auto-group.
Trucks: when pickups move to vehicles, group stops into truck runs by area and load — same map, larger clusters.
Compost delivery (external offtaker): switch to planning depot→customer drop-offs — plot the depot and customers and route the delivery run.
Depot siting: use the spread of homes to pick central depot locations that shorten everyone’s travel.
Truck, delivery and depot modes are coming; today the planner covers household/business collection routing.

Depot Operations
Compost depots, the bags delivered to each, what's been sold, and reconciliation of stock against revenue paid into the operating company.
1. Set up depots. Add each depot's location and assign a depot manager (a participant, usually Level 3+).
2. Record deliveries. When compost bags arrive at a depot, log how many and have the manager mark them accepted.
3. Record sales. For each sale, capture the customer (registered or walk-in), bags sold, and amount. Customers are encouraged to pay directly into the operating company's bank account and send a receipt the manager uploads. Where a customer pays cash, the manager banks it into the operating company and uploads that receipt.
4. Reconcile. The system compares bags accepted vs bags sold, and flags gaps — e.g. 100 delivered but revenue for only 80 — plus any cash not yet confirmed paid in.
🌱 Compost — Production & Stock
Log cured compost as it’s bagged — this builds your available stock. Orders and free pilot distributions below draw it down, so you always know how many bags you really have.

Waste Collection & Operations
Daily waste logs, contamination rates, compost cycles, route and depot performance tracking.
1. Log every collection. Use + Log Collection for a daily total, or + New Weigh-In Run to record each home’s sorted weight at the source.
2. Verify the weights. New entries wait under Awaiting weight verification — a supervisor checks and confirms each one before it counts.
3. Watch quality. The Quality Control KPIs track contamination against target; log any rejected or contaminated loads as exceptions.
4. Compost correctly. Use the C:N Calculator to balance greens and browns for each batch, then save the batch quality log.
Quality Control — KPIs & targets
🌱 Compost C:N Calculator & Batch Quality Log
List what goes into the pile and roughly how much of each (kg or %). The tool blends their C:N ratios and grades the batch. Aim for C:N 25–35:1.
MaterialC:N (book value)Amount (kg or %)
Amendments like clay / termite-mound soil, bone char and biochar improve the compost (minerals, microbes, phosphorus, structure) but aren’t part of the carbon-to-nitrogen balance — pick them, record the amount, and they’re logged with the batch without changing the C:N.

Awaiting weight verification
Participants mark loads sorted; scan or pick a load here to verify the weight, score the sorting and confirm the participant. Record each waste type separately — the accepted total is what the participant is paid for.
Quality standards — what to accept, mark down, or reject (by material)
Golden rule: never accept totally unsorted or unclean waste. If a bag mixes organic and inorganic, or plastics are unwashed/greasy, Reject it. Only use Accept with notes (score 2) for partially mixed loads — score it down and tell the participant to clean it up before final weight; the lower score reduces what's paid.
🌱 Organics
Accept (4–5): food scraps, peels, leaves, garden trimmings — clean, no plastic/glass.
Accept with notes (2–3): a few stray wrappers or a little soil/packaging mixed in — ask to remove before weighing.
Reject (1): mixed with plastics/metal/glass, or contaminated with chemicals/medical waste.
♻️ Plastics
Accept (4–5): rinsed bottles/containers, dry, sorted by type where possible.
Accept with notes (2–3): mostly clean but a few unwashed items or labels/caps left on — ask to rinse.
Reject (1): greasy/unwashed, full of food residue, or mixed with organics.
🫙 Glass
Accept (4–5): rinsed bottles/jars, separated from other materials.
Accept with notes (2–3): a little residue or a few non-glass items — ask to clean/separate.
Reject (1): heavily soiled, broken mixed with other waste, or hazardous containers.
🛞 Rubber
Accept (4–5): clean rubber/tyres/offcuts, free of metal and dirt.
Accept with notes (2–3): some embedded dirt or mixed bits — ask to clean/separate.
Reject (1): soaked in oil/chemicals or mixed with general waste.
🔩 Metal
Accept (4–5): clean cans/scrap, separated.
Accept with notes (2–3): some food residue or a few non-metal items — ask to rinse/separate.
Reject (1): rusted-through hazardous items, sharps unsafely presented, or mixed/contaminated.
📄 Paper / card
Accept (4–5): dry, clean paper/cardboard, flattened.
Accept with notes (2–3): slightly damp or a few non-paper items — ask to dry/separate.
Reject (1): wet, food-soiled, or mixed with organics/plastics.

♻️ Material stockpile & production monitor
Records the weight of clean, accepted material on hand by type, and converts it into how much finished product you could make right now — compost, permeable / interlocking blocks, roof tiles. Each production run is logged as a cycle with its own ID. Producing draws material down from the stockpile automatically.
ℹ️ What counts as a “cycle”?
A production cycle is one complete production run that turns accepted material into a finished product. Every cycle has:
  • A unique ID — auto-generated, e.g. COMPOST-2026-06-30-A (product · start date · run letter). This is how you tell each cycle apart, even when several run at once.
  • A product — what is being made (compost, block, roof tile…).
  • Material consumed — drawn from the stockpile when the cycle is created, so on-hand figures stay honest.
  • A start and end dateOpen means in progress (e.g. compost still curing); Closed means finished, with the final output recorded.
  • A finished output — kg (compost) or units (blocks, tiles).
Running compost and blocks at the same time = two parallel cycles, each with its own ID. Closing a cycle is what counts its output as produced. (This replaces the old free-typed “compost cycles this log” number, which had no fixed definition.)

Income Tracking & Offtaker Flow
Track income from each stream back to individual participants, and monitor the full commercial flow to the private offtaker.
1. Record income. Use + Record Income to log money from each stream (compost, plastic, nursery) and tie it back to the participant who earned it.
2. Map the commercial flow. The Value Chain Flow shows how product moves to the private offtaker; use + Add Offtaker to register a buyer.
3. Log home payments. Where a household pays directly, use + Record home payment so it reconciles against the participant’s ledger.
4. Read the ledger. The Participant Income Ledger shows each person’s earnings over time.

The Participant Pathway — Levels 1 to 5

Everyone starts as a Resource Steward and can grow, step by step, into a business owner. Each level adds new ways to earn while keeping the ones before it. Progression is a choice, not a conveyor belt — a participant can add a single activity, stack several, or stay where they are.

Level 1 — Resource Steward. Collects source-separated waste from enrolled homes and businesses, tagging each bag with the source’s route QR, and brings it to the operations centre. Earns on the verified weight of clean, accepted material. Material is weighed either as a resident drop-off or a participant pickup — the weight that counts is always the verified weight at the centre.

Level 2 — Resource Recovery Partner. Adds earning options on top of collection: sell bags of Heritage Soil compost from the depot, sell nursery plants to customers (sell → order from the Nursery Manager → upload the customer's receipt), and pick up the permeable block-paving skill — trained and assessed to the ACES Block Production SOP (international standard), repeated until passed. At Level 2 the Nursery Manager plans the garden-maintenance routes for the plants sold; the participant focuses on selling and service delivery.

Level 3 — Circular Steward. Keeps earlier streams and takes on more responsibility: as part of their business-module training the participant now plans and optimises their own garden-maintenance routes for their maintenance customers (weekly, bi-weekly or monthly as agreed). May also add block-laying services and recycled-goods sales once those streams are live.

Level 4 — Community Resource Partner. Takes on a management or wholesale track: Compost Depot Manager, Beautification / Garden-maintenance Manager (runs maintenance services for a cluster), or Block-laying Service Manager; and nursery operators are expected to sell nursery plants in bulk / wholesale at this level. They mentor those behind them and may graduate to run their own business under an ACES standards agreement or independently. Participants who focus on garden / nursery work can choose to exit the programme at Level 4 — there is no Level 5 requirement for them.

Level 5 — Community Regeneration Manager (optional). An optional senior step for proven managers overseeing several depots in a region for a year and mentoring depot managers beneath them. It is not required to "complete" the programme — Level 4 is a full, valid exit, especially for garden-focused graduates.

How it’s tracked: each participant has a current level on their record and portal; optional activities, the Level 4 management role, and graduation status are set by a supervisor (participants see but don’t change their own); completed levels earn certificates/badges.

Route Planning — quick how-to & reading the KPIs

Set-up: enrol each home/business as a Source with a GPS location (Participants → Add Source), then assign it to a cluster (A, B, C…). Without a location a stop won’t appear on the map.

In the Route Planner: the map groups stops by cluster colour, numbers them 1, 2, 3… in a suggested visiting order, and joins them with a dashed line. Each cluster can have several participants — add them from “+ add participant…”, remove with the ×. Set four targets per cluster: collection day, target homes, target kg/week, and max contamination %.

Supervisor access: an admin can scope a supervisor to specific clusters (Users page → “Project Supervisors — route access”). They then edit only their clusters; everyone else’s routes are view-only for them.

Reading the numbers:

  • Homes served / target — coverage against plan.
  • Kg diverted & kg/week — volume; kg/week is compared to your target.
  • Km route & kg/km — route length and efficiency (kg gathered per km — higher is better; straight-line estimate).
  • Contamination % — below your max is good; above is flagged red.
  • Score /100 with a Red/Amber/Green light — Green ≥ 80 (on target), Amber ≥ 50 (needs a look), Red below 50 (needs action).

Distances are straight-line estimates and the stop order is a quick “nearest-next” suggestion — treat km and kg/km as planning indicators, not exact road mileage.

Depot Management — scheduling, QR acceptance & stock

Onboarding a depot manager: they already have a login from when they were a participant. Make sure their email is on their participant record, set their user role to Depot Manager (Users page), then link them to their depot in Depot Operations. They’ll then see only their own depot, and can accept & sell but not edit.

Scheduling a delivery & the QR — where and who:

  • A supervisor or admin opens Depot Operations and clicks “+ Record delivery” (or “+ Delivery” on the depot card).
  • Enter depot, date, bags, product and deliverer; leave “Mark accepted now” unticked so it saves as Scheduled.
  • In the deliveries list, click the row’s “QR” button to open a printable label with that delivery’s unique QR code. Send it with the load.
  • On arrival, the depot manager scans the QR (in-app scan or phone camera) — or taps Accept — and it flips to Accepted, stamped with who and when. Stock updates automatically. Accept is accept — there’s no editing after.

Recording a sale: “+ Record sale” → bags, price, customer, and how it was paid. Customers are encouraged to pay into the operating company’s account with the receipt reference entered/uploaded; cash is banked by the manager and the pay-in receipt uploaded. Sales reduce stock.

Stock & reorder: In stock = accepted − sold. A low-stock alert appears at the depot’s reorder level (default 20 bags) — the manager raises the next delivery with their supervisor.

Reconciliation: each depot card shows Delivered, Accepted, Sold, In stock, Revenue and Cash owed, with amber/red flags where stock or cash doesn’t add up — a prompt to discuss, not blame.

Compliance Calendar
Recurring obligations — CAC filings, annual audit, insurance renewals, policy reviews. Mark complete and it rolls forward to the next due date.
📐 Measurement Milestones
Recommended measurement dates drawn from the Foundation’s published methodology papers (ACI, RDI, ZRI & platform assurance). Switch tracking on only when the live pilot officially begins — until then your calendar stays clear of demo-era dates.
📣 Complaints & Grievance Mechanism
A channel for participants and community members to raise concerns — logged, acknowledged and tracked to resolution. Anonymous complaints supported. Distinct from the safeguarding register.
User Management
Invite team members, assign dashboard roles, and manage access. Roles: Admin (full access), Editor (enter data, no admin tools), Viewer (read-only), Partner (Partner Portal only), Finance (Finance section access), Grants Officer (Grants section only), Programme Supervisor (programme delivery — participants, waste, routes, depots, training & reports), Community Manager (marketing, press & events), Depot Manager (their depot only — accept & sell, no editing).
💰 Rates & Pricing
One place to set what participants earn on every line. Switch a line LIVE when you go live with it — live lines become routes you can enrol into and appear in participants' portals; rate changes flow straight into their pay.
🛟 Data Resilience
Backups, automatic daily snapshots, integrity checks and the recovery runbook — the boring backbone that protects everything else.
💱 Multi-Currency Reporting
Configure FX rates so reports can present amounts in £ GBP, $ USD or € EUR for international funders. The functional currency stays ₦ NGN throughout.
Section visibility
Choose who can see each area. Hidden — only you and the managing team. Team — anyone signed in (people with a login). Public — everyone, including signed-out visitors. You (admin) always keep access; hidden areas show to you dimmed.
💷 Financial Approval Limits
Set the maximum value each role may authorise. The budget approval workflow reads these before accepting an approval: a budget whose total is within the Executive Director's limit can be approved by the ED; anything above it cannot be approved by the ED and is routed to the Board of Trustees for approval. Leave blank for “no limit configured”. Adjust upward or downward as your operating environment changes — every change is recorded in the Audit Log.
Cloud sync — field data
Push existing nursery orders (incl. receipt images), nursery & compost customers, and block-training records up to the cloud tables. Use this once after creating the cloud tables, or any time you want to force a re-sync. New records sync automatically as they're created.
Merge duplicate customers
Finds customers with the same name across every service (nursery/garden, compost — and any service added in future). Review each group, then merge: one record is kept, blank fields are filled in from the others, all linked orders are re-pointed, and the duplicates are removed (locally and in the cloud). Different people who happen to share a name will also be grouped, so check before merging.
Preview as a role

See exactly what each role sees. Pick a role to switch the whole app into that view — a purple bar stays at the bottom so you can switch roles or exit back to admin at any time. (Preview only; your account stays admin.)
👤 Preview as a Participant
Open the participant portal exactly as a participant at each level sees it — which tabs and tools are unlocked (Badges, Waste Log, Sales, Depot, Mentorship) and which are still locked. This is a no-data demo view; it doesn't create or change any real participant.
Project Supervisors — route (cluster) access
Give a supervisor edit rights over specific clusters only. In Route Planner they'll be able to set targets and assign participants for their clusters, and everyone else's routes become view-only for them. Admins always edit everything.
Page Access & Edit Permissions
Each cell sets what a role can do on that page: ✕ No access (page hidden from their menu), 👁 View only (they can open it but every edit/add/delete control is hidden), or ✎ Can edit. Admins always have full access & edit and can't be locked out; Viewer is read-only everywhere by design (so it has no Edit option). Changes apply the next time that user loads the app — or immediately if you're previewing that role.

Example: to let everyone see Training but only your trainers edit it, set the Training row to 👁 View only for most roles and ✎ Can edit for Partner. Note the tightly-scoped roles (Quality Control, Nursery Manager, Block Production Mgr, 🎨 Streetscape Officer, Depot Manager) only ever see the handful of pages their job is built around, so granting them a page their role doesn't use won't add it to their menu.
⚡ Quick Assign
Pick a role and a preset to set its access pattern in one click. The full matrix below stays editable for fine-tuning.
📚 Document Library: every signed-in role can always view documents and send them to other registered users. The Library row above controls only who can upload, edit and remove documents (set a role to “View only” or “No access” to stop it uploading).
Data Backup & Restore
Download a complete copy of all your data as a single file, kept somewhere safe (email it to yourself, save to Google Drive). If anything is ever lost, restore from a backup. Restoring replaces current data, so download a fresh backup first.
Data Quality Check
Flags things worth a look: sources with no cluster or GPS, and weigh-ins that are zero, negative, unusually large, or attached to a home that isn't in any cluster. Advisory only — nothing is changed automatically.
🗑 Deleted grant applications — pending permanent deletion
When a Grants Officer deletes an archived application it is not removed immediately — it is held here and recorded in the Audit Log. Only you (the Chair) can permanently delete it after review, or restore it back to the archive.

Commercial / payment entities
The organisations or accounts money is paid into (e.g. your operating company). These appear as the “Paid to” options on sales and payments, so you’re not tied to a single entity.
Single rate pays the ₦/kg above on all accepted weight. Per-material pays a different ₦/kg for each material recorded at the weigh-in (organics, paper, plastics, metal, glass, rubber, textile, other) — set each rate below.
Used to work out what each participant is owed: verified weight × rate.
Quality control & pay rules
Pay is the accepted weight × rate × the % for the sorting score below. Score 1 (unsorted/unclean) is always rejected and never paid. Set targets for the Quality Control dashboard.
Score 1 = reject (0%)
Compost sales commission (Level 2+)
Standard depot prices for a bag of compost and the share of the margin a participant keeps. These pre-fill the participant's compost sale form.
Commission per bag = (retail − wholesale) × this %. At 100% the participant keeps the full margin.

💧 Resident Wellbeing
Track the health dividend of the programme over time. Set credible baselines now — from public health data, before any intervention — then record readings as cleaner water, solar power and mosquito-repelling planting come on stream, so improvement can be shown against a real starting point.

We don’t have our own field data yet — and that’s fine. The job right now is to capture a defensible starting point so future change is believable.

  • Use public health data for the baseline. Record malaria and typhoid figures from credible public sources — Nigeria’s National Malaria Elimination Programme, the Nigeria DHS / MIS surveys, WHO, or Benue State / LGA health records — and cite the source on each indicator.
  • Baseline before you plant or build. Capture the “before” reading prior to boreholes, solar centres or mosquito-repelling planting, so the change has something to be measured against.
  • Attribute carefully. Many things affect health. Say interventions “contributed to” or “coincided with” an improvement — not that they alone caused it — unless you have a controlled comparison.
  • Keep the source on every number. A reading without a source can’t be defended; one with a citation can.
Benchmark data — baseline before interventions
Capture the “before” figures from credible public sources now, with a citation on each. These are your defensible starting points; later readings are compared against them. Tap a suggested indicator to add it, then enter the number and source.

🌱 Carbon & Climate Benefit
Quantify the greenhouse-gas emissions ACES avoids and removes, period by period, with transparent factors and a clear path from estimate to independently verified. Track verification, issuance and any sale or retirement of credits.

Carbon claims are scrutinised closely, so the golden rule is: claim less than you can prove, and always say which it is.

  • Estimated vs verified. Until an accredited body checks the numbers, these are our own conservative estimates. Say “we estimate we avoided ~X tonnes of CO₂e” — never “we offset X tonnes.”
  • Avoided vs removed. Diverting waste from dumping/burning avoids emissions; planting trees removes them. Keep the two separate and label them.
  • No double counting. A reduction can only be claimed once. If a funder or buyer is credited with it, ACES cannot also claim it — and vice versa.
  • Be conservative. We use cautious factors on purpose. It is far better to under-claim and be trusted than to over-claim and be challenged.
  • Selling credits needs certification. To sell credits (not just report benefit), a project must be validated under a recognised standard (e.g. Gold Standard, Verra, Plan Vivo). Until then, treat this as a powerful impact story, not a tradeable asset.
  • Show your working. Always share the activity (tonnes diverted), the factor used, and the source. Transparency is what makes the number believable.

🧭 Zone Replication & Licensing
Turn the ACES operating model into licensable IP. Codify it as the Zone Replication Blueprint™, score any community’s readiness to replicate it with the Zone Readiness Index™, and manage your portfolio of demonstration, prospect and licensed zones.
Zones
📜 Issued Licence Register
Every ACES licence issued, with a unique Licence ID. A zone gets an ID automatically when its licence is marked Active — or issue one here.
Zone Replication Blueprint™
The codified ACES model — the standards a community must meet to operate a certified ACES zone. This is the asset you license.
Streetscape Design & Colour Integration
A cohesive, beautiful village — by design, not by accident. Plan a full scheme for each home (facade, paving, roof, trim), check it against the neighbour and the location, and log it to ACES so the next houses build on what's already done.
Resident Forms & Templates
Take these out into the community
Printable, resident-facing documents for the Streetscape officer: a short flyer explaining the programme, a consent form to authorise work (tick only the services you are offering this resident), and a satisfaction survey to capture after a job is done. Fill the details once and each form is personalised. Capture survey answers on paper, then tap Record resident feedback to enter them — they flow into the satisfaction scores on the Testimonials and M&E pages.

Property Intake & Restoration Pipeline
Step 0 · Before colour — capture & assess the home
Register each property before planning its colours. Capture the owner, what the building is made of, its roof, how many doors and windows, and the condition of each part. The assessor then generates a restoration plan — what to clean, repair and prep first, using cheap local methods (with better imported options noted where you can get them), a rough cost in Naira and a time estimate — which you can download or send for review. Once a home is restored and logged here, move it on to ★ Studio to choose its scheme.
Owner & property
Stand at the property and tap Use my current location, or type coordinates. Located properties then appear on the Route Planner Streetscape layer.
Site & surroundings (shapes the colour recommendation)
Nearby landmarks (tick any that apply):
Walls

Notes
Photos (wall, roof, windows — optional)
Fill in the property details, then press Generate restoration plan. The plan appears here — local-first methods, an imported-materials option where you can get them, a rough Naira cost and a time estimate — ready to download or send for review.
Programme budget & coverage
Enter the money available for restoration. Against the costed properties in your register, this works out how many homes that budget can beautify — in the order you choose — and what's left over or short.

Resident satisfaction & feedback
Collected after work is completed, to monitor satisfaction. Feedback is recorded against the property ID only — no resident name — and can only be submitted once a property is marked Work completed. The officer can forward a comment to the Community Manager to appear (after review) on the Testimonials page.

Phase 1 · Pre-Assessment & Mapping
Output · Colour & Streetscape Baseline Map
  • Walk each planted route end to end and note its character — residential, market, civic, forest edge.
  • Map households, compounds & shared boundaries, recording which house sits left/right/front/behind which — the engine uses this adjacency.
  • Flag special properties & locations — marketplace, event square, District King's home, LGA office, government road, place of worship, school, clinic, forest path.
  • Photograph existing colours, materials & textures; note sun exposure (affects how pastels read).
  • Identify paved vs. natural zones and where the recycled-roof rollout will eventually reach.
Wire-in: each home logged in the Approval phase records its facade, paving, roof, trim, location type and neighbours — feeding both the Fuzzy Lookup and the adjacency planning so the next homes are designed with full knowledge of what's beside them.
Phase 2 · Neighbourhood Colour Logic
Output · Route Colour Identity Sheet
Choose a route identity theme — the engine biases recommendations toward it
The layered logic is enforced live in the Studio: Neighbour Harmony (weighted by whether House B is side-by-side or across a road), Paving Integration, Roof grounding, and Route Identity. Pastels dominate; deeper tones serve as accents, trims, roofs and feature paving.
Phase 3 · Colour Selection & Approval
Output · Household Colour & Scheme Approval
Tip: build the scheme visually in the Studio, then press “Log this scheme to ACES” — it pre-fills this form. Or enter it directly below.

Phase 4 · Paving Block Colour Assignment
Output · Paving Colour Layout Plan
When to use the Lion Signature brick. Reserve the branded medallion for prestige & civic locations — the District King's home, LGA office, government road, the central marketplace and event squares — as a feature inlay or border, not a field surface. The Studio flags this automatically when you pick one of those location types.
  • Assign plain vs. coloured blocks by drainage need, foot traffic, proximity to painted houses, and route identity.
  • Complement, don't compete. Coloured blocks score as accents against the facade — the Studio flags any block that overpowers the house.
  • Mark block colour zones on the ground before installation.

Paving requests & residents
The paving manager logs each request here — for an individual resident, a business/commercial property, a government agency, or a community / customary leadership request (which may be to pave a forest path or the market area — a location that isn't the requestor's own address). Capture the site, road type, current condition, coverage area and the property colour; the system then recommends a block colour scheme, pattern, a cost to make & install, and a suggested customer price. Pilots are free; once in full operation the service is chargeable — tick paid and upload the payment receipt.

Phase 5 · Implementation Supervision
Output · Streetscape Colour Compliance Checklist
Tick items as you verify on site. Completion is saved to ACES and can post back to the regeneration dashboard per route.
Phase 6 · Final Audit & Documentation
Output · ACES Colour Harmony Archive
  • Photograph before / after each facade and route.
  • Update the ACES regeneration dashboard with final colours, paving patterns and route identity.
  • Store all colour codes for future maintenance and replication.
Recycled-roof rollout plan PIPELINE
Every logged home already carries a recommended roof tone. When the recycled-roof service launches, work this list — including homes already painted — and tick them off as installed.
Replicable model: the archive captures the recognisable ACES Adikpo aesthetic — facade, paving, roof and trim per home — so other communities can adopt the same palette logic.
