Our Impact - Key Focus States
Strengthening States, Supporting Growth
Creating Impact Where It Matters Most
Where Impact Takes Root
Our work is rooted in places where progress can create the greatest ripple effect. Across Nigeria, we partner with states that show strong potential for inclusive growth, social stability, and long-term impact. These focus states represent diverse economies, cultures, and opportunities - each playing a critical role in strengthening regional and national development.
We are intentionally involved in Benue, Kaduna, Katsina, and Plateau because of their strategic importance, growth momentum, and readiness for transformation. From agriculture and trade to innovation and enterprise, these states are positioned to drive meaningful change. By working closely with local leaders, communities, and institutions, we help unlock opportunity, build resilience, and support sustainable development where it matters most.
Together, our key focus states form a powerful foundation for economic growth, peacebuilding, and community-driven progress across northern Nigeria.
Benue
Benue is redefining food production and agribusiness, creating new value across Nigeria and beyond. Its agricultural strength positions the state as a hub for food security, innovation, and rural economic growth.
Kaduna
Kaduna’s dynamic industries and skilled workforce are shaping a stronger, more connected economy. The state’s commitment to industrial growth and human capital development makes it a catalyst for regional progress.
Katsina
Katsina’s energy for trade, innovation, and growth is opening doors for businesses of every size. Its strategic location and entrepreneurial spirit continue to expand economic opportunity and cross-border commerce.
Plateau
Plateau’s blend of culture, technology, and enterprise is sparking fresh ideas and building a bold future. The state’s creative and tech-driven ecosystem supports innovation, youth engagement, and sustainable growth.
Evidence in Action
We turn evidence into action by applying research directly to the challenges communities face. This ensures our work is effective, adaptive, and grounded in what truly works.
