This third quarter (July – September 2023) report is intended to keep our donors, Board of Trustees, and partners aware of project achievements and constraints, share lessons learned and seek deeper level of collaborations to consolidate our impact, and advance our collective effort on business development and sustainability. Also, to showcase the nexus between our impact and a peaceful and more stable operating environment in the Niger Delta.

Through this, we intend to share successes and challenges for learning and for further collaborations with our Partners. These include the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), The Ford Foundation, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
