Tearfund Country office in Nigeria, was registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) on 10th October 2018 (Rc1530764).
The Nigeria Country Strategy for 2024 to 2027 was developed to focus on four Corporate Priorities and was recently reviewed based on the changing context and priority needs across each region. The Corporate Priorities are:
- Church & Community Transformation (CCT): equipping local churches towards holistic Church and Community Transformation through facilitation, influencing, integrated programming and partnerships with denominations, theological institutions and Church networks.
- Environmental & Economic Sustainability (EES): equipping communities to safeguard, restore and sustain the environment, climate action and create green jobs through local projects and advocacy.
- Reconciled Peace-Filled Societies (RPS): transforming conflict dynamics within fragile communities and support to locally led efforts to reduce violence, foster social cohesion, and promote lasting peace.
- Crisis to Resilience (C2R): strengthen the capacity of local faith-based and humanitarian actors to lead timely, context-specific disaster preparedness and response, contributing to locally-led resilience and align with global commitments to localisation and sustainable humanitarian action.
Our mission is to address the areas of greatest developmental and humanitarian needs among the most vulnerable in Nigeria by upholding the values of gender equality, environmental and economic sustainability, peaceful coexistence and the sanctity of human life through the Church, partners and other stakeholders.
Over two decades, Tearfund and its partners have gained valuable experience and expertise in both humanitarian and development contexts. Tearfund has worked serving beneficiaries across 16 States (namely Adamawa, Bauchi, Benue, Borno, Gombe, Kaduna, Kwara, Kogi, Niger, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Nasarawa, Plateau, Taraba, Yobe). We plan to consolidate on the impact across all locations where we have footprints and focus on where the needs are greatest to align with the funding opportunities while we scale up our work. Influencing change, resourcing partners and large-scale programming would be our key approaches as we continue ensuring efficient utilisation of resources to guarantee value-for-money in all our programmes and funding streams for the best interest of people we serve.
