SDN investigates flooding in Port Harcourt

We help communities in Nigeria and the Gulf of Guinea region who live alongside oil, gas and mining facilities. We help them to communicate and negotiate with business, government and others with a stake in their land and its resources.

In Nigeria, through our four programmes, we:

• Ensure communities' voices are listened to
• Help to address the causes of conflict and to build peace
• Work with youth, women's and faith-based groups to support the institutions of society
• Promote greater accountability by government institutions

We publish reports and analysis of how people's daily realities in Nigeria affect all stakeholders in the region's natural and human resources.

We support the work of scholars trying to understand how oil affects life in the Gulf of Guinea.

We have offices in Port Harcourt and London. This means we can communicate information, opinions and ideas from villages, creeks and communities to the centre of global commerce and media.

We are able to talk to politicians and businesses in countries that depend on oil from West Africa, and who have a stake in the region's future beyond the Petroleum Age.
