Work With Us
We don't believe lasting change happens in isolation. At CIPSD, we've always worked alongside communities — not just for them — and the same is true for the organisations we call partners. If you share our belief that people deserve to live in peace, dignity, and security, we'd love to explore what we can build together.
We're open to any organisation that genuinely cares about communities and wants to contribute to meaningful, lasting impact.
Local and international organisations working in peace, humanitarian action, or community development.
State and federal bodies with a mandate for governance, peacebuilding, or social development.
Universities and think tanks that want to ground their research in real communities and lived experience.
Businesses that recognise that stable, peaceful communities are good for people — and good for the future.
Funders seeking a trusted, community-rooted partner for peace and development programmes in Africa.
Publishers and broadcasters who want to tell honest, human stories about peacebuilding and resilience.
"The strongest partnerships we've built haven't started with formal agreements — they've started with a shared belief that communities deserve better, and a willingness to show up and do the work together."
We bring more than a name on a document. We bring genuine relationships, deep local knowledge, and a team that is truly committed to the work.
We've spent years building honest relationships across Niger Delta communities. When you work with us, you're not starting from scratch.
Our team brings hands-on experience in conflict analysis, community engagement, research, and programme delivery — fully at the service of any collaboration.
Partners are featured across our website, publications, events, and communications — because good work deserves to be seen.
We believe the best outcomes happen when partners shape the work together. You won't be a funder in the background — you'll be part of the story.
Working with CIPSD connects you to a wider ecosystem of civil society actors, researchers, government contacts, and community leaders across the region.
We measure and share the impact of everything we do — so you'll always know where your investment of time, resources, or expertise is going.
There's no rigid template for how partnerships begin. Fill in what you can below and we'll take it from there. We respond to every inquiry within five working days.
Whether you have a fully formed idea or just a sense that you'd like to work together, please reach out. The most impactful partnerships often begin with a simple conversation — and we're always glad to have one.
