The Foundation for Partnership Initiatives in the Niger Delta (PIND) and Plan International Nigeria have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to advance Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI), safeguarding systems, youth empowerment, and community resilience across the Niger Delta.

The partnership, formalised during the signing ceremony at the PIND Foundation office in Abuja, will strengthen collaboration on inclusive development programming, gender-responsive peacebuilding, workforce readiness, safeguarding systems, and economic inclusion initiatives within the region.

Sam Ogbemi Daibo, PIND’s executive director, said the partnership reflected a shared commitment to building more inclusive and resilient communities.

“Sustainable development cannot happen when women, youth, persons with disabilities, and marginalised groups remain excluded from opportunities and decision-making processes. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to building more inclusive, resilient, and equitable communities across the Niger Delta,” he said.

Also speaking, Charles Usie, country director, Plan International Nigeria, described the collaboration as a strategic step toward strengthening inclusive systems and expanding opportunities for vulnerable populations. “At Plan International Nigeria, we believe sustainable development is only possible when inclusion, protection, and equal opportunity are intentionally integrated into development systems and community structures.
