Our United States counterpart, the Niger Delta Partnerships Initiative, is based in Washington, DC. 

Since 2010, with our partners, we have been contributing to strengthening and stabilizing the region by 

  • reducing conflict and fostering peace & stability, 

  • reducing poverty, 

  • facilitating alternative clean energy solutions for remote coastal communities that are off the national grid, 

  • enabling youth employment, 

  • supporting gender equality and social inclusion for women, youth, and people with disabilities, 

  • empowering local civil society organizations, 

  • and influencing governments policies, programs & practices that significantly benefit the poor and marginalized. 

  • MISSION

    Building partnerships for peace and equitable development in the Niger Delta.

  • VISION

    Our vision is to foster a strong legacy of sustainable peace and development among communities in the Niger Delta. 

CORE VALUES

We cultivate relationships that thrive on co-creation, shared goals, interdependency and organizational transformation.

We aim always to be recognized as a model for other peace and economic development actors within the Niger Delta, hence why we consistently seek new and better ways to add value to what we do.

In dealing with our partners and stakeholders, we strive for honesty, accountability and transparency.

This value lies in our strong funder relationships, consistent revenue sourcing ability and our track record as a dependable development partner.

OUR HISTORY

PIND is designed as a regional strategy for addressing deep-rooted socio-economic problems in the Niger Delta rather than symptoms. Established in 2010 with initial funding from Chevron Corporation, PIND has grown to attract funding and collaborations from international and local partners in developing and implementing new solutions to old problems and reducing dependence on the oil sector in the region.

With footprint in all nine states of the region and funding and support from more partners and collaborators, PIND is a strong sustainable development resource for the Niger Delta region, serving both public and private stakeholders
