The EDCs provide physical security such as secure office locations and vehicles, which saves international actors entering the region time, money, resources, and the need for specialized personnel.
The EDC in Warri, Delta State houses our Appropriate Technology Enabled Development (ATED) Centre, launched on July 8, 2015. The ATED Centre showcases working examples of technologies that reduce energy consumption, recycle waste, and provide alternatives to traditional power sources. It also hosts group tours every Wednesday from 11:00am to 1:00pm to inform people about the many ways in which buildings can be environmentally-conscious and why climate change is important.
By 2019, we envision the ATED Centre of Excellence will be recognized across the Niger Delta, leading in research, capacity building, education, training on appropriate technologies and in particular in low-cost solutions for WASH and in energy efficiency and renewables, in collaboration with academic and sector institutions
Housed within the Warri EDC is our fully equipped video and audio media production hub and team that is providing media for development services to PIND and development organizations working in the Niger Delta in harnessing the power of film, radio and video to promote, inform and influence policies, knowledge, attitudes, behaviors and approaches that promote productivity and inclusive equitable economic opportunities for the region.
Our EDCs have become a convergence hub for development actors and businesses, having received over 5,000 visitors by 2014 and averaging between 125 – 670 visits on a monthly basis for various development objectives ranging from training sessions, meetings, research, consultations, demonstrations, networking, lessons learning or enquiries
