We are excited to announce that our 2019 annual report is out! 2019 is a landmark year for us because it marks the end of our second five-year strategic funding phase (2015-2019) and nine years of solid programming within the Niger Delta region.
From fostering new initiatives, to reducing poverty, fostering peace and stability, growing local civil society and business membership organizations, and influencing development policy, 2019 was a year of strategic delivery of results across our four thematic areas of focus; Economic Development, Peace Building, Analysis and Advocacy, and Capacity Building.
Over this strategic period, we built on the foundation on laid in our 2010 – 2014 funding phase and worked with firm resolution and grit to empower the region’s people – smallholder farmers, small enterprises, State governments, civil society, households and communities – with the skills, information, mindsets, tools, linkages, technologies and finance – to create economic prosperity and peace for themselves and live better lives, irrespective of gender, status, location, age or educational status. And we are proud of the remarkable impact that our partnerships with you have accomplished over the period – results that demonstrate that economic prosperity and peace can be achieved together in a sustainable way.
You can engage with the annual report by reading the annual message from our Chairman Board of Trustees and our Executive Director to learn about our 2019 progress while you follow our impact timeline for the year.
