Board of Directors (Nigeria)

Carifika Network for Sustainable Development (CNSD) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization committed to promoting inclusive and sustainable development across Nigeria and Africa. CNSD works with governments, communities, civil society organizations, development partners, and the private sector to address pressing social, economic, and public health challenges affecting vulnerable and underserved populations.

Our mission is to empower vulnerable and marginalized communities through inclusive, innovative, and sustainable development programmes that improve health, wellbeing, and economic resilience. We envision a society where everyone has equitable access to opportunities, quality services, and the support needed to live healthy, dignified, and productive lives.

CNSD's interventions span public health, disability inclusion, humanitarian response, education, digital innovation, climate resilience, livelihoods, governance, agriculture, and community development. Through evidence-based programming, strategic partnerships, advocacy, research, and technology-driven solutions, CNSD advances social inclusion, strengthens community resilience, and contributes to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

At the heart of our work is the belief that sustainable development can only be achieved when no one is left behind, particularly persons with disabilities, women, youth, and other marginalized groups.
