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
WHERE WE WORK
Our projects span all nine states of Nigeria’s Niger Delta region.
STRATEGIC PLAN 2020 – 2024
We have come up with a plan informed by insights and needs of the Niger Delta distilled from a Participatory Strategic Review (PSR) process involving 180 interviews and focus group discussions with 14 regional, national and international stakeholder groups.
