I worked in the PM&E Unit and enjoyed going to the field to interact with the beneficiaries of PIND’s various interventions. It exposed me to what an economic development program is about in terms of impacting smallholder farmers’ lives and ensuring the sustainability of economic activities that benefit the entire region through the market systems approach. At PIND, I learned how to work collaboratively with colleagues and partners and relate with people based on their personalities. This has greatly improved my emotional intelligence. I want prospective interns to know that PIND is a great place to work and build their capacity while contributing to making a social difference in the Niger Delta. If given another opportunity, I would work at PIND again. There are lots of impactful projects I would love to be part of. Also, PIND’s objectives and vision for the region align with mine, so I would welcome the chance to work there again.
