The Foundation for Partnership Initiatives in the Niger Delta (PIND) is seeking feedback from residents and stakeholders of the region for its 2024 Participatory Strategic Review (PSR). Operating in Nigeria’s Niger Delta region for over 14 years, PIND is dedicated to improving the lives and livelihoods of its people.
As an organization, PIND aims to enhance income, promote best farming practices, equip youth with market-relevant skills, provide energy to coastal communities, and restore peace in conflict-ridden areas of the region.
To date, PIND has invested over NGN 93 billion, sourced from the region’s government, donor agencies, and the private sector. Their interventions have reached over 1,057,706 farmers and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) with information on best farming practices, access to inputs, and technological innovations.
Moreover, 5,787 businesses and households can now access renewable energy through PIND’s initiatives. Over 26,387 community users of PIND-facilitated renewable energy solutions have saved NGN 1.03 billion, and 8,336 young people have gained market-relevant skills in emerging growth sectors.
All these achievements are a result of feedback from partners, stakeholders, and the public, which helps PIND design effective interventions and programs. A statement from PIND’s communications department emphasized that this feedback ensures the organization reaches the communities in the Niger Delta region that genuinely need their support.
“Every five years, PIND develops a strategic plan informed by a Participatory Strategic Review (PSR) of their work. The PSR assesses the effectiveness of developmental strategies and approaches, informing new strategic directions and identifying opportunities for continued effectiveness and relevance of PIND’s work in the Niger Delta,” the statement reads.
