The Center For Development Support Initiatives-cedsi, Port Harcourt, Nigeria, West Africa
In recent times, the resultant effect of long-term neglect has become more evident, the great toll of which is better imagined. Despite growing stakeholders interventions, there is still a wide gap towards rural women and youth empowerment as a lot still wallow in poverty, ignorance, lack of basic functional education, incessant conflicts, insufficient reproductive health information and no sustainable means of livelihood.
CEDSI works to improve the quality of life of its target through various programs. We want to be uniquely positioned to advocate for change, connect communities to knowledge and resources and most of all co-ordinate broader donor efforts at the community level.
This is to help alleviate poverty along low- income disadvantaged individuals through creating an enabling environment for a sustainable development by reduction of violence in the communities where it operates.

Youth Media And Communication Initiative Ymci, Lagos, Nigeria
The Youth Media & Communication Initiative (YMCI) is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organisation actively engaged in developing the involvement of children and youth in the media. YMCI equips children and youth from 10 to 18 years with media and communication skills on child rights, gender, conflict resolution, HIV/AIDS, environment, globalisation, leadership, and development to cope with living in a multi-ethnic and multicultural society, thus laying the foundation for social justice for future generations of Nigerians.
It is open to every Nigerian child/youth irrespective of religious affiliation, language or social background. YMCI aims to provide an opportunity for them to examine the country, its strength and shortcomings in a congenial atmosphere devoid of the tribal and religious tensions that have dogged Nigeria since independence.
The common purpose and focus for all participants in YMCI activities will be how to empower themselves to build a future that will give Nigerians equal opportunities. YMCI will provide a level playing field for children and youth in every nook and cranny of Nigeria. Our agenda is not to teach children and youth to become journalists, but to train them as agents for social mobilization and social change; to develop their capacity for effective communication and self-expression so that they can positively impact their schools, communities and society.

Baobab For Women's Human Rights, Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa
BAOBAB For Women's Human Rights is a not for profit, non-governmental women's human rights organization, which focuses on women's legal rights issues under the three (3) systems of law - customary, statutory and religious laws in Nigeria.
The organization evolved from an ad hoc group of activists, social scientists, lawyers, and specialists in Muslim laws and Arabic who were responsible for executing the Women and Laws Nigeria project, under the auspices of the International Solidarity Network of Women Living Under Muslim Laws from 1993 to 1996.
This three-year multi disciplinary research project on women's legal rights generated a wealth of data which, in order to be efficiently utilized, needed an organizational structure from which outreach work could be planned and executed in the states under study. In 1996, BAOBAB as presently constituted formally came into being.
BAOBAB operates from a national office in Lagos and with outreach teams in 14 states across Nigeria. These are: Adamawa, Borno, Edo, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kogi, Kwara, Lagos, Osun, Oyo, Plateau, Taraba and Zamfara. The organization works with women, legal and paralegal professionals, human rights NGOs and members of the general public.
BAOBAB's stated mission is "to promote women's human rights principally via improving knowledge, exercise and development of rights under religious laws, customary laws and statutory laws." We believe our activities during the past few years illustrate our commitment to this mission.

In essence, the quality of the followership determines the leadership. And since the leadership and the followership cannot be divorced from the socio-economic and political system that is operative in a society, it is imperative to awake the consciousness of the citizes to the truth that they hold the ace to good governance
Founded on the 3rd of April 1995 and registered by the Corporate Affairs Commission of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, in the year 2000, the Foundation sets out to redeem the image and values of Africa through education on the importance of integrity, which breeds transparency and accountability in development.
