TABLE OF CONTENTs

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND THE EXECUTIVE Director Dear Partners: The year 2020 marked the tenth anniversary of the Niger Delta Partnership Initiative (NDPI, NDPIFoundation.org) and the Foundation for Partnership Initiatives in the Niger Delta (PIND, PINDFoundation.org), and flagged off our third phase of funding and strategic planning (2020-2024). NDPI's 2020 Annual Report entitled "Resilience and Results in a Pandemic" reflects the resilience of Nigeria's Niger Delta communities, NDPI, PIND, and our staff, and our partners since inception. We are proud to say that we exceeded our program targets in the year, despite the debilitating effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Established in 2010, NDPI & PIND were designed to complement Chevron Nigeria's 2005 Global Memorandum of Understanding (GMoU). PIND is the Nigeria-based implementing partner of the U.S.-based NDPI. PIND focuses on working on the ground with communities in the Niger Delta's nine states, while NDPI focuses on raising the international development community's interest in the Niger Delta.

Together, we focus on: • Reducing poverty in the aquaculture, cassava, cocoa, palm oil, and poultry sectors • Powering underserved coastal communities in innovative ways • Nurturing employment and exclusivity for women and youths • Fostering stability through social capital and conflict early warning and early response (EWER) • Enabling market development and fundraising for local organizations through policies and long-term development plans Learn more about our programs by reading the PIND 2020 Annual Report at 2020report.PINDFoundation.org (bit.ly/2020PINDAR).

Our 2020 Annual Report highlights include: • Our scorecard of the last ten years in the Niger Delta, which includes USD 4.6 Million of investments leveraged into the agriculture and enterprises sector • Our progress in 2020, which USD 27.7 Million in net additional income for farmers and SMEs (small- and medium-sized enterprises) • A spotlight on our key partnerships • Impact stories from the Niger Delta • Information on NDPI's governance and people • NDPI’s 2020 financials NDPI & PIND are proud of the positive impact we have made in facilitating peacebuilding and economic development in the Niger Delta over the past decade.

This was accomplished through our private and public sector partnerships, the collective knowledge, expertise, and collaboration of our partners, donors, communities, and the citizens of the Niger Delta. Through these partnerships, selfless collaborations, and engagements, conflicts are being mitigated, socioeconomic conditions are improved, and the future is looking much brighter. We plan to remain focused and sustain the momentum in the coming years through capacity building and innovation.

We thank you for being a part of bringing peace and prosperity to the Niger Delta region and look forward to a more sustained partnership in the years ahead.

Sincerely.

MAMADOU BEYE Chairman, NDPI Board of Directors

NIGER DELTA IMPACT STORIES Reducing Poverty Market Linkage, Super Market!

“My name is Nzeota Prince Uche, a poultry farmer and service provider. There are some [staff] I met through PIND who have given me links from which I have made so much money, and they have also given me advice that has helped me directly [and] indirectly. Let me give you a case instance. There was [some staff] I met at one of the PIND trainings (for service providers) held in Warri. This lady linked me to where I could sell my supply of birds. Now, the kind of order these people are bringing is so much that I can categorically say I have never met up with their demand. In fact, they will tell me, "I want 100 birds of broiler." And, when I give them that, they will ask for another 100 in a week followed by another 200…by the time I do that, I am out of stock!”

Powering Coastal Communities

Quest to Address Energy Challenges Solved “My name is Kehinde Emmanuel Tayo, CEO of Vectis Business Option, a company built on the promises of renewable energy to bring power to the people of this great country. Our quest to solve energy challenges has brought us into the mini-grid-energy space to provide power for the people in the underserved and unserved communities of rural communities in Nigeria. Our partnership with PIND has brought about this relationship where we are able to reach out to more communities in the coastal region to provide them access to power. We are very grateful to PIND for what they have done, making our lives easy, making things easy in terms of access to communities, and then, supporting in reaching out to these communities in the Niger Delta.”

Nurturing Youth Employment

The 'Sitting Down at Home Idle' Phase is Over!

“My name is Precious Ogbonna-Ben; I am from Abia State, a graduate of economics. I enrolled to learn leatherwork through the NDYEP training under the Footwear Academy. I got to learn a lot. I can make footwear for myself and for people, such as slippers and sandals.

Before, I used to be at home, sitting doing nothing. Now, I can wake up in the morning, come to the Footwear Academy, and work because I have a lot of orders that I need to deliver.”

Fostering Stability

Resolving Conflicts through Partners for Peace (P4P) “With strong field work experience garnered over the years as a member of the Conflict Prevent Committee of the Partners for Peace in the Niger Delta (P4P) Imo State Chapter and the Oguta LGA sub-chapter, I have navigated the nooks and crannies communities, building community and family peace and resolving conflicts across Imo State and some Niger Delta states.”

Enabling Development

Grants Secured with Proposal Writing Skills!

Prior to getting into PIND's mentorship program, the Chief Executive of the Society for the Empowerment of Young Persons (SEYP) wrote all proposals by herself, despite having five (5) employees and many volunteers. An organizational capacity assessment showed that the root causes of this were structural issues and talent mismatch within the organization. PIND commenced a mentorship program to improve the (non-governmental organizations' (NGOs) capacity to secure and implement donor-funded projects using the market systems approach. The organization was guided to restructure its organizational processes, management, and people. After the mentorship, SEYP saw a grant opportunity with the Swiss Embassy.

“The entire team collectively prepared the proposal documents, following the grant writing standards taught during the mentorship.

This helped us meet the donor project's requirements as SEYP received a grant of EUR 45,000 from the Embassy. After that, we secured another grant of EUR 300,000 from the European Union (EU)/IOM, and the strength of staff has increased to 17 permanent staff,'' explained Chief Executive Jennifer Ero.
