USADF's Nigeria Program
The sudden rise in world oil prices in the mid 1970s resulted in severe inflation in Nigeria coupled with widespread unemployment and corruption. Today, poverty is endemic, with 45 percent of the country's total population of over 120 million living below the poverty line. USADF's Partner in Nigeria is Diamond Development Initiatives (DDI), a non-profit, non-political, and non-religious organization. Its mission is to economically empower the rural and urban poor through the provision of financial and technical support to grassroots development organizations. DDI provides support to community-based organizations engaged in social and economic development activities, including small and medium enterprise (MSE) development, trade and investment initiative and micro finance. DDI is committed to promoting and upholding the ideals of participatory development.
