P4P Qualitative Research Reports on Drivers/Impacts of Conflict in the Niger Delta
Taking a unique approach, Partners for Peace (P4P) emphasizes the catalyzing of loose networks across all key stakeholder groups in the Niger Delta to encourage collaboration and promote best practices in effective peacebuilding. As envisioned, these grassroots networks will be self-sustaining, with PIND playing a role in finding synergies and promoting the voices of network […]
Economic Opportunities Report
As part of PIND’s commitment to promoting a deeper understanding and awareness of the Niger Delta through research development, PIND conducted an economic opportunities analysis to highlight major sectors of potential pro-poor economic growth and three value chain studies to diagnose the underlying constraints to achieving that growth. The findings from these analyses serve as […]
Aquaculture Value Chain Analysis
The first value chain study focused on Aquaculture in the Niger Delta – one of the most important growth sectors in the region. The study highlighted the very large growing and unmet demand for fish in the country and the clear opportunities for aquaculture to respond to that demand. Constraints affecting the aquaculture value chain […]
Cassava Value Chain Analysis
PIND’s second value chain analysis focused on Nigeria’s cassava sector. Nigeria is the largest cassava producer in the world, averaging an annual production of about 35 million mt over the last 5 years, yet it is a major importer of processed cassava products, especially starch. About one-third of the total national output comes from the […]
Palm Oil Value Chain Analysis
PIND’s third value chain analysis examined the Palm Oil sector. Nigeria was the world’s leading producer and exporter in the 1960s, however, since then the country has fallen to being a net importer to meet growing domestic demand, especially for higher quality oils and fractions. The value chain study concluded that growing the size of […]
Gender Assessment in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria
One of PIND’s guiding principles is to “integrate gender participation and awareness of gender issues into every aspect of project design and implementation to foster equitable participation and benefits for both men and women.” To achieve this goal, PIND commissioned CEDPA in the last quarter of 2010 to conduct a gender assessment in the Niger […]
A report on Niger Delta Region Youth Assessment

PIND Final Report on MSME in Warri
The Warri area experienced a mass exodus of businesses following the ethnically charged Warri Crisis of the 1990s and the heightened security measures of oil companies. In recent years, the economy has revitalized with a noticeably vibrant informal sector, constant construction activities, and an increasing number of residents. Development of industries and commercial activities in […]
Identifying Business Development Centers and Providers in the Niger Delta
The report helped feed into the establishment of PIND’s Economic Development Center in Warri, Delta State, tailored after the GTZ-supported business information and training centre in Lafia (Nasarawa State), building synergies between the two centres and sharing expertise and support wherever appropriate. The report provided ideas on how to create a hub for market research, […]
Agricultural Market Systems
The primary objective of the study is to set out the linkages between growth opportunities in agriculture and youth unemployment and skills gaps in Delta State. The intended outcome is to identify channels through which PIND can make an impact on youth unemployment via agriculture and agri-business. The assignment also intended to identify and prioritize […]
