Geographic and Thematic Scope
Where We Work, and What Our Programmes Address
Our geographic scope remains evidence-based. Planned expansion is separated, visually and verbally, from present operations.
Geographic Scope
Four Levels of Operation
A location is only shown as covered when a programme has been approved or delivered there.
Operational base
Port Harcourt
Port Harcourt is FDI’s operational base and the primary location for its present organisational development, partnerships and major public programmes. The city provides access to young people, schools, professional networks, civil society organisations and institutions across Rivers State.
Active territory
Rivers State
FDI intends to work across Rivers State through programmes that respond to leadership, education, enterprise, digital access and community-development needs. Specific local government areas should be named only when a programme has been approved or delivered there.
Regional ambition
The Niger Delta
The organisation’s regional ambition is to contribute to a Niger Delta where young people have stronger skills, broader opportunity and a meaningful role in building peaceful and prosperous communities. Expansion should be guided by partnerships, needs assessment and delivery capacity.
Future direction
Expansion Across Nigeria
FDI aims to develop programme models that can be tested locally, improved through evidence and adapted for other Nigerian communities. National expansion is a future direction, not a claim of current nationwide operations.
Thematic Scope
Nine Programme Themes
Each programme page should identify its primary theme, supporting themes, target participants, location, SDGs and intended outcomes so that programmes can be filtered by focus area.
Youth development
Personal growth, skills, networks and opportunity.
Leadership
Character, decision-making, communication and service.
Education
Structured learning and capacity building.
Enterprise
Entrepreneurship, financial capability and business growth.
Digital inclusion
Access, literacy, safety and technology skills.
Gender inclusion
Fair participation and targeted support for girls and women.
Peacebuilding
Dialogue, conflict prevention and community trust.
Civic participation
Responsible engagement in community and public life.
Community development
Locally relevant, practical and sustainable action.
Scope a Programme

Programme design begins with consultation. Speak with FDI about a community, school or local government area.
