Innovation Hub for Inclusiveness, Empowerment, and Social Development (SieDi-Hub) is a woman and youth-led non-profit that focuses on improving the lives of youths, women, and children in low-income communities in Nigeria – using a multi-faceted approach: such as research and evidence gathering, policy engagement, advocacy, systems strengthening, training, mentorship, and direct program interventions.

They aim to inspire hope and contribute to the well-being of people in underserved and low-resource communities. SieDi-Hub officially launched its operations in Abia State, Nigeria, on the 16th of June 2022, with the theme “Working Toward Inclusive Development”. The event was also used to unveil the organization’s strategic plans for the next couple of years.

We will adopt a collaborative and capacity-building strategy to empower young people to work with policy stakeholders to influence policymaking processes that will reflect the identified priority needs of our demographics.

“We will also implement direct intervention programs to improve access to healthcare services through preventive health outreaches and advocacy for improved service delivery in primary healthcare facilities.

“Through our sisterhood connect program; we will tackle social justice issues, such as sexual/domestic violence and child abuse, by providing wrap-around services (psychosocial, financial, legal, and other necessary support) to victims and survivors; support smallholder farmers to improve their productivity and profitability through agripreneural empowerment programs.

“Finally and most importantly, we will design and implement various innovative youth capacity strengthening programs to hone their socio-economic empowerment skills that will help reduce factors that contribute to their social exclusion”
