2020 Advocacy Calendar

For many years, conflict ravaged Nigeria’s Niger Delta, slowed down development and escalated poverty in the region. In 2010,
Chevron Corporation set up the Foundation for Partnership Initiatives in the Niger Delta (PIND) to rally cross-sector partnerships to
foster stability and inclusive economic development in the region.
After ten years of programming, we conducted a Participatory Stakeholders Review to get feedback on our work and insights on our future direction. Feedback from key stakeholders (donors, governments, investors, civil society, thought leaders, and local communities) indicated that:

Generally, PIND’s approaches are recognized as unique and effective and have spurred peaceable economic growth and development in the Niger Delta. They adjudged that these approaches have established us as a reputable trusted partner and thought-leader in peace and economic development in the Niger Delta.

In this calendar, we highlight a few examples of some specific constraints to development in the region that we met when we started operations in 2010, and share excerpts of the proven and recognized innovative approaches that we are applying to solve them. Such examples include evidence-based interventions, resilient markets for the poor, social capital for peace, business-efficient technologies, financing for small businesses, safe water social entrepreneurs for underserved communities, energy-efficient builders, capabilities for service delivery and connection platforms for development.
