USADF's Nigeria Program
Today, poverty is endemic, with 45 percent of the country's total population of over 120 million living below the poverty line. In 2011 USADF programs focus on marginalized populations in
- Niger Delta – politically and economically marginalized, conflict situation.
- Kaduna – women’s groups, people with disabilities, rural, poor farmer cooperatives
USADF's Partner in Nigeria is Diamond Development Initiatives (DDI), a non-profit, non-political, and non-religious organization. Its mission is to economically empower the rural and urban poor through the provision of financial and technical support to grassroots development organizations. DDI provides support to community-based organizations engaged in social and economic development activities, including small and medium enterprise (MSE) development, trade and investment initiative and micro finance. DDI is committed to promoting and upholding the ideals of participatory development.
