PIND’s strategic plan 2015-2019 prioritizes integrating gender and youth participation and mainstreaming their issues into every aspect of project design and implementation and its operation. In 2013, we set up a gender committee with a mandate to ‘reduce gender inequalities that may exist in PIND’s programming, organizational endeavors and project intervention’.
Through our four programs of Economic Development; Capacity Building; Peace Building; and Advocacy and Analysis, 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.
