Chairman’s Message

Strengthening Governance, Partnerships, and Accountability

Mamadou Beye, Chairman

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am proud to reflect on NDPI’s continued commitment to peacebuilding and economic development in the Niger Delta. In 2024, we made significant strides in strengthening governance, diversifying funding, and deepening strategic partnerships.

Our robust governance framework ensured effective oversight and responsible resource management. We were pleased to welcome Philippe Oga to the Board. With over 25 years of experience in finance, Philippe brings invaluable expertise that is already enhancing our financial oversight—particularly as we launch Continuum Capital to scale our impact through innovative financing.

Strategic partnerships remain central to our mission. Our collaboration with organizations like the African American Institute (AAI) exemplifies the power of collective action. These alliances amplify our reach and reinforce our shared commitment to sustainable development.

We are also enhancing accountability through improved data collection and reporting systems. These efforts ensure transparency and enable us to communicate program outcomes effectively to donors, partners, and stakeholders.

As we move into Phase IV, 2025-2029, of our strategy, NDPI and PIND will continue to foster inclusive partnerships, influence policy, and strengthen governance frameworks that empower communities to achieve lasting prosperity.

To our partners, donors, and the dedicated PIND team—thank you for your continued support. Together, we are building a future defined by peace, opportunity, and resilience.
