Where NDPI Works – Nigeria’s Niger Delta Region

The NDPI Foundation focuses its work in the Niger Delta region, home to more than 30 million people, 70% of whom live in poverty. The majority of the poor in this region are rural and young, with 62% of the population 30 years old and younger. This region is among the world’s leading international development challenges.

In order to achieve this mission, NDPI has structured its activities within four distinct programs including:
- An economic development program focused on generating opportunities for pro-poor market development and employment generation.
- A capacity building program that will build the service delivery and engagement capacity of government, civil society and communities.
- A peace-building program that strengthens conflict resolution mechanisms for enabling integrated peace and economic growth.
