Analysis and Advocacy

Accurate socio-economic information and better-informed stakeholders are not only vital to the effectiveness of PIND’s programs but critical ingredients for improving development practice and creating an enabling environment for growth to occur in the Niger Delta. There is a significant gap in the amount of current, reliable data available to guide development planning and learning. PIND’s Analysis and Advocacy program has been helping to address this gap by gathering data and generating credible analysis of the key economic, institutional, and peace building constraints in the Niger Delta. It then seeks to increase understanding and awareness of these constraints amongst stakeholders with an interest in the region.

Analysis and Advocacy’s objectives are carried out under the Advocacy for Niger Delta Development (ANDD) strategy:

Inform and Influence governments’ decisions and policies through data and evidence to remove identified systemic constraints in value chains PIND supports.

Position PIND as an organization able to receive and implement donor grants in the region.

Promote a culture of partnership, collaboration, and coordination and shared learning amongst development partners in addressing systemic constraints to economic growth in the Niger Delta.

Improve understanding and create awareness on systemic constraints and enablers to inclusive equitable economic growth in the Niger Delta region.

Create opportunities for dialogue, reflection and debates among development actors and interested stakeholders to support ongoing and future economic growth initiatives in the Niger Delta.
