GENDER EQUALITY AND SOCIAL INCLUSION (GESI)

PROJECT OVERVIEW:
At the center of PIND’s 2020–2024 strategic plan is the achievement of gender equality and empowerment of poor women and girls, persons with disabilities, and the most vulnerable populations. PIND strives to ensure that the people of Nigeria’s Niger Delta have access to decent jobs, economic opportunities, and educational advancement, irrespective of ability, age, gender, or location. Our support and empowerment of youth, women, and persons with disabilities (PWDs) address the SDGs 4, 5, 8, and 10.
We are making efforts to address gender gaps in accessing productive resources and promoting inclusive socio-economic development in the Niger Delta. PIND envisions an egalitarian and peaceful society that guarantees equal rights and equitable access to and control of productive resources; ensuring that individuals are empowered to create wealth and overcome poverty and disease irrespective of sex and other demographic differentials.
