Christian Aid Nigeria Member

Christian Aid has been working in Nigeria since 2003 and has a reputation as an organisation that respects its local partners, delivers quality and cost-effective programmes, and is willing to learn from, and share its learning with, others.
Our vision is for a just, equitable and peaceful Nigerian society, where poverty has been eradicated and every person is empowered to live life in all its fullness.

We seek an end to poverty in Nigeria by challenging systems and structures that perpetuate inequality and favour the rich over the poor. This is done through our three core strategic programme areas:

Health
Governance and social development
Humanitarian work
We work to improve the health of poor and marginalised people; raise community voices to demand accountability through advocacy and promoting engagement between people and government; improve gender equity and the participation of women and girls in development initiatives; and respond to humanitarian emergencies to alleviate the suffering of people affected by conflict and disaster.

In recent years, we have adopted a structural approach, incorporating cross-cutting themes such as social and behaviour change communication, monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning (MEAL), advocacy and gender into all of our work.
