The National Income Activation Initiative (NIAI) works with strategic partners across government, private sector, development, financial services, technology, training, logistics, and civil society sectors to create practical income pathways for women and youth across Nigeria.
NIAI partners support the platform by providing vendor opportunities, market access, participant training, financial inclusion services, digital tools, monitoring support, logistics, technical assistance, funding, and scale-up opportunities.
Our partnership model is designed to move empowerment beyond training by connecting participants to real income opportunities, measurable activity, and sustainable economic participation.
