About Pro Natura International (Nigeria)
Pro-Natura International has been working in the Niger Delta for approximately ten years. During this time we have worked to achieve long-lasting solutions within the Niger Delta by investing in communities, engaging all stakeholders and building capacity in a 'bottom up’ participatory development process. PNI’s experienced team consisting of approximately 50 employees, are committed to implementing best-practise community development programmes; employing participatory tools and methods, focusing on livelihood needs and not wants, ensuring equitable distribution of benefits and building local capacity for decision making. |
