PIND is a Nigerian non-profit Foundation established in 2010 with initial funding by Chevron Corporation to support a portfolio of socio-economic development programs for Nigeria’s Niger Delta in order to improve standards of living of communities in the region. PIND supports projects in collaboration with a diverse range of donor partners including bilateral and multi-lateral aid agencies, federal and state government agencies in Nigeria, private companies and foundations. With an overarching goal of increasing income and employment in the region, the Foundation has four distinct but interrelated program areas. They are: • 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. • An analysis & advocacy program that improves analysis and understanding of systemic constraints to growth in the Niger Delta region. |

Chevron Corporation established the Foundation for Partnership Initiatives (hereinafter referred to as “PIND”) in Nigeria with a mission to establish innovative and dynamic multi-stakeholder partnerships that support and enable socio-economic development programs which improve standards of living for many communities in the Niger Delta. Governance was placed in the hands of a Board of Directors. It has a sister organization in the US, the Niger Delta Partnership Initiatives (NDPI) also established in 2010 which provides governance and oversight and strategic direction to PIND. NDPI has evolved to take a greater role in monitoring PIND’s project activities, providing strategic guidance for its overall portfolio, and reaching out to the donor community to identify new resources and partnerships for PIND. |
