CSI+ has been working in Nigeria for nearly a decade and has since 2011 had a regional office in Lagos, Nigeria. From there we have been guiding new entrants to the Nigerian market that –with more than 170 million people – is quite complex. Our focus continues to be on agriculture, environment, education, job-creation, skills-transfer, youth empowerment and training with emphasis on CSR and sustainability in supply chains and operations.
Through our non-profit arm – Youth Empowerment and Development Initiative (YEDI) - more than 20,000 Nigerian children and youth have benefited from a range of social and development projects developed in collaboration with such prominent organizations as ExxonMobil, MAC Aids Fund and Novartis.
