About CENPAD

INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR POVERTY ALLEVIATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT(CENPAD) has been in existence since 2007.  Our Core areas of activity includes: Poverty Alleviation, Community Development, Democracy and Governance, Women/Youth Development Scheme, Community Health, Peace and Security, Anti-corruption/Civic Enlightenment, Climate Change/Global Warning, Food Security, Ecological Issues, Rural Development and other related programs aimed at Poverty Alleviation and Sustainable Development.
In order to achieve our goal, we held so many programs such as Free Medical Health Outreach, Provision of Hand-Pump Water boreholes, Anti-Money Laundry Campaign, Voter Education/Mobilization, Election Monitoring, Women and Youth Development Program, Agriculture/Farm Settlements across Nigeria.

Sources of Funding

We source for funds through partnerships for any identified program/project: our proposed partners include government (at various levels), the private sector, public spirited individuals/organizations, foreign embassies, international organizations, multinational cooperations, donor agencies and faith based organizations. We have in the past received financial assistance from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) when we held the Post-Amnesty Summit in the Niger Delta and also in the Niger Delta Investment and Development Roundtable. Some public spirited individuals have started indicating interest in financing our rural water projects as a former Federal House of Representative member in Nigeria has already taken care of providing one of the hand pump water projects.
