Before you start, have these ready:

• Your National Identification Number (NIN) — exactly 11 digits.
• A skill-evidence file (photo, PDF or document showing your skill or trade).
• A recent passport photograph (clear, plain background, JPG/PNG).
• Your bank details (account name, account number, bank) for grant payments.

Steps:

The Grievance form is for complaints, concerns or feedback about CSDA projects and programmes. You can submit anonymously.

• The Projects page groups projects by category; use the search box and filters to narrow the list, then View Details for the full story and photos.
• Projects, news and gallery photos are published from the staff dashboard — new items appear automatically, newest first.
• If the live database is unreachable (for example during maintenance), the page shows the last published content instead of an empty screen.

• Use the Contact form for general enquiries — messages go straight to the agency inbox.
• For complaints that need tracking, use the Grievance form instead so you receive a ticket number.
• You can also email info@csda.en.gov.ng.

• New staff are onboarded with an invite code issued by a Super Admin. Codes look like CSDA-XXXXXXXX.
• Each code can be used exactly once and carries the role, LGA and ward for the account — you cannot pick a role during registration.
• Register on the Staff Registration page, then sign in with your email and password.
• If a code is rejected as already used, ask you Super Admin for a fresh one.

Your exact access is enforced by the central permissions map. If a module is missing from your sidebar, your role does not include it — contact a Super Admin if you need access.

1. Application review

Applications → filter Pending → review → Shortlist → review again → Select (or Reject). Selected applicants become beneficiaries in the Beneficiary Registry. Export the CSV or print lists for review meetings.

2. Onboarding staff

Staff Accounts → create an invite code with the right role → share it privately → the staff member registers themselves → the code is consumed automatically. Deactivate an account at any time to revoke access instantly.

3. Grievance lifecycle

Grievance Desk → open new ticket → assign and set in progress → investigate → add a resolution note and mark resolved. The public statistics page updates from these statuses automatically.

4. Publishing to the website

News / Gallery / Website Content / Project Showcase → save or publish → the public pages update themselves within moments. Unpublish or hide anything just as easily.

5. Attendance & leave

Attendance & Leave → clock in when you start, clock out when you finish (one record per day). Submit leave requests there too; Admin Officers and administrators approve them.
