Focusing on the gap between access and benefit
Dika Equity and Development Foundation (DEDF) is a Nigerian nonprofit organisation advancing equity, dignity and inclusion by addressing the barriers that prevent people from accessing and benefiting from opportunities.
We listen to people and understand the realities that shape their choices, then work with communities and institutions to strengthen access, participation and opportunity through evidence, learning and respectful partnerships.
DEDF THRIVE puts this commitment into practice by addressing barriers at household, community and institutional levels, helping strengthen pathways to opportunity and create conditions where people can participate, make informed choices and benefit with dignity.
What THRIVE Aims to Achieve
Resilience
Strengthening household capacity to absorb financial, health and other social pressures with greater stability.

Voice & Agency
Strengthening the ability of underserved household members to express priorities, make informed choices and influence decisions.
Equity
Recognising differences in barriers and adapting support to ensure fair consideration of diverse needs and circumstances.
