Protecting nature. Building resilience. Creating opportunity.
The challenges facing Nigerian communities are connected, so our solutions are too. We combine practical projects, education and advocacy to create change that lasts.
Rooted in communities. Connected to the world.
Since 2014, Prime Initiative for Green Development (PIGD) has worked alongside communities, schools and governments across Nigeria to tackle the challenges that shape people’s lives most: pollution, flooding, a changing climate, and the lack of opportunity that keeps families in poverty.
Trusted by international climate and development institutions
PIGD holds observer, consultative and accredited status with six United Nations and international climate bodies, so Nigerian communities are heard where global decisions are made.
We take action, and we measure it.
Every programme is shaped by the communities it serves, delivered with partners and measured, so we know it works.
Our key priorities
Pollution destroys livelihoods. Floods close schools. Poverty limits opportunity. The challenges are connected, so we work on them together.
Forest Restoration
Replanting and protecting forests with local communities, so families keep the food, income and flood protection that nature provides.
Clean Energy Skills
Practical solar training that gives young people and women the skills to find work and start their own enterprise.
Community First
Our work starts with communities’ own priorities. People are partners with knowledge and agency, not beneficiaries waiting for help.
Our work
From forest restoration to classrooms, here is some of the work we are proudest of.
Become our volunteer
Volunteers bring energy, skills and fresh ideas to everything we do. Whether you can give a day for a tree planting or a few months of professional skills, there is a place for you at PIGD.
