This report highlights the achievements of PIND’s program interventions in the Niger Delta from January – March 2023 (Quarter 1, 2023), and provides relevant information about program management, lessons learned, and plans for the next quarter. The report demonstrates how PIND is driving change to ensure broad-based economic growth in the Niger Delta.
PIND’s activities are designed to promote and sustain a culture of learning and adaptation, to build a process where evidence plays a significant role in determining policy direction and interventions in economic development, peace building, advocacy, and capacity building of both government institutions and civil society in the Niger Delta.
Apart from business distractions caused by the national electioneering activities within the reporting period, several macro-economic situations affected the normal delivery of program activities, which included the rising inflation and foreign exchange rate dynamics which negatively impacted inputs purchasing capacity of farmers/MSMEs; the persistence of fuel scarcity across the country also caused hardship to businesses, as well as the effect of the cash crunch occasioned by the cashless policy obstructing businesses from accessing cash for daily transactions.
