Lift Above Poverty Organization (LAPO)

Background: Lift Above Poverty Organization (LAPO), a non-profit organisation headquartered in Edo State, is committed to implementing Health-for-all projects, providing livelihood support to rural households, and advocating for gender equality and community participation. Annually, LAPO hosts a Development Forum, a vital platform for stakeholders to address poverty and development challenges. The forum convenes government officials, policymakers, development partners, academia, and civil society organisations to discuss pertinent issues.

 

Problem: For its 28th, 29th, and 30th Annual Forums held in Abuja, LAPO required the expertise of an Abuja-based corporate event management company to coordinate audio-visual live streaming, photography, hall branding, media coverage, and social media management.

 

Solution and Activities: LAPO engaged Aries Concept, a corporate event management firm, to execute the consultancy service. Throughout the engagement period, Aries Concept conducted various logistics and communication activities to ensure the success of LAPO’s Annual Forum:

    • Produced a high-quality photo book.
    • Provided comprehensive photography coverage.
  3. Conducted pre and during-event social media campaigns:
    • Promoted the Annual Development Forum through various social media channels.

 

Results: The collaboration between LAPO and Aries Concept yielded significant outcomes:

  • Increased online attendance.
