Who We Are
The Ene Obi Centre for Development (ECD) is a non-governmental, non-profit and non-partisan organisation working to advance human dignity, equity and inclusive development in Nigeria and beyond.
We are here to bridge the gaps that hold people and communities back, and help create pathways to a more just and inclusive society.
01
Rights & Inclusion
Our work advances human rights, social justice, gender equality and inclusive governance, with a focus on women, children, young people and persons with disabilities.
02
Opportunity & Wellbeing
We support access to education, healthcare, livelihoods and opportunities that strengthen individual and community resilience.
03
Resilience & Sustainable Communities
We work with communities and partners to respond to humanitarian needs, strengthen livelihoods, address climate challenges and promote sustainable development.
Join Us and Make a Difference
Together, we can bridge the gap.
ECD works with communities, partners, institutions and individuals to create opportunities, strengthen resilience and advance a more just and inclusive society.
Whether you are a community organisation, development partner, government institution, private sector organisation or individual, there is a place for you in the work of building lasting change.
We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive. Bridging the Gap means creating pathways where opportunity exists, inclusion is strengthened, and no one is left behind.
We envision a just and inclusive society where women, children, young people and vulnerable communities can access the opportunities, support and resources they need to live with dignity and shape a better future.
At ECD, we work alongside communities and partners to turn this vision into action, through advocacy, education, health, livelihoods, social justice and community-led development.
