The ‘Sitting Down at Home Idle’ Phase is Over!
Our Niger Delta Youth Employment Pathways (NYDEP) project targets to empower young people in the region to attain market-relevant technical skills, vocational skills, and soft skills to secure waged employment or start an enterprise (SDG 4 & 8).
Energy Access for Underserved & Coastal Communities
The access-to-energy project works to develop access to affordable renewable energy for households and businesses to improve productivity, increase income, trigger new jobs, and improve the quality of life for the communities (SDG 7).
Surviving the COVID-19 Threat: Funding Innovations for Smallholder Farmers & MSMEs
Smallholder farmers and MSMEs in the Niger Delta encounter difficulty getting funds from financial institutions because of several factors. These factors include inappropriate financial products for the agricultural value chains; perceived low productivity and competitiveness in financing the sectors; and the perceived risk associated with agricultural financing.
PIND’s approach to improving access to funds for smallholder farmers and MSMEs entails developing new, inclusive financial models built around the peculiarities of the agricultural and agro-allied sectors. To qualify for the funds and loans from commercial banks, MFBs, and equity investors, we encouraged a crop of BSPs (business service providers) to support smallholder farmers and MSMEs.
