THE ORGANISATION - NIRA CDF
Nira Community Development Foundation (NIRA CDF) was established in 2004 as social research circle mainly concerned with socioeconomic situation of the rural communities. During its formative stage, the organization was youths centric, focused on addressing social vices associated with youth’s vagrancy such as unemployment, drugs abuse and other petty crimes. However, as the organization grows, it keeps on broadening its focus and expanding its reach while leaving indelible footprints of pragmatic interventions across many sectors. NIRA CDF was registered with the Federal Government of Nigeria in 2009 as Incorporated Trustees under the Corporate Affairs Commission via certificate Number CAC/IT/NO.31770.
The registration accords the organization legal status to engage with multilateral entities, including International Non-Governmental Organizations (INGOs) through partnership, and to receive funding support for the implementation of developmental interventions across sectors and different parts of the country.
