Program accomplishments

  • NIGERIA PROGRAM WISE - Since August 2021, PfD has been implementing a three-year, $3.5 million project, Water Improvement and Sanitation Enhancement (WISE), funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in 102 rural communities in Jigawa and Kano states in northern Nigeria. The goal of WISE is to provide potable water and improved sanitation and hygiene services to 123,000 beneficiaries in these rural communities through the installation of improved water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities and the provision of hygiene education.On 30 September 2024, PfD handed over the WISE project to local governments after 38 months of implementation. At the time of handover, the WISE project had installed 98 improved water facilities that provide potable water to 76,249 persons. Also, WISE handed over 54 improved sanitation facilities located in schools and primary health care facilities which service 10,305 people. Additionally, through its Community-Led Total Sanitation Plus (CLTS Plus) intervention, PfD incentivized 9,509 households to construct and use their own improved and safely managed latrines. Thus, helping to reduce the rate of open defecation with 98 of the target 102 rural communities declared open defecation free (ODF) as of 30 September 2024.PfD commissioned an independent firm to assess the impact of WISE in the target locations in late 2023. The study revealed the following a) WISE increased access to water and sanitation in the target locations by 21.8 and 23 percent respectively; b) schools that received installed WASH facilities showed an increase in student enrollment and retention of 9.7 and 12 percent respectively; and c) there was reduction in recorded cases of diarrhea-related illnesses at primary health care facilities in communities where WISE installed improved water facilities. PfD presented the findings of this independent impact assessment at the 2024 Colorado WASH Symposium held at the University of Colorado, Denver, Colorado, in March 2024.WSP - Since September 2022, PfD has been a sub awardee (responsible for the WASH component) of a larger award to the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) that is implementing Watershed Protection for Safe and Sustainable Water Supply Project (WSP) in Nigeria. The WSP sub award is a 49-month, $4 million dollar project aimed at providing access to improved WASH services for 52,000 residents in 73 rural communities in Bauchi (17) and Cross River (56) States. As of 31 December 2024, PfD had installed 62 improved water facilities in 41 communities 9 in Bauchi and 32 in Cross River states providing potable water to 45,620 residents at 20 liters per capita per day. 26 of these improved water facilities are located within or reticulated to either primary health facilities or public schools. Also, PfD has installed 6 improved sanitation facilities in Bauchi and Cross River States that are servicing 1,062 students in 5 targeted schools, as well as 159 improved household latrines to 1,816 community residents. In the summer of 2025, PfD planned to commission an independent study to assess the impact of these WASH facilities on the health of the communities and on the performance of students in the schools where they have been installed.
    Expenses $1,688,089
  • BENIN PROGRAMPINEX In 2024 PfD concluded work in Benin on the multi-year $15M Pineapple Processing for Export project (PINEX) which was core-funded by the by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). PINEX's foundational strategy involved collaborating with local entities within the pineapple industry for product market analysis, followed by enhancing or establishing the capabilities of farmers and manufacturers to fulfill this market need. Working with two of its key implementation partners, PINEX reached production milestones in 2024. In collaboration with the Territorial Agency for Agricultural Development (ATDA7), the project implemented an innovative irrigation pilot program. The program helped eleven pineapple growers install irrigation equipment on 24.5 hectares, enabling the export of 1,470 tons of pineapples to European markets. The Network of Pineapple Producers' Associations of Benin (RPAB), another crucial PINEX partner, successfully renewed organic certification for 225 hectares, with organic pineapple production generating $187,476 from 1,124 tons harvested across 22.5 hectares during the year. Over the course of 2024, the project trained 893 pineapple growers, focusing on cultivation practices including soil preparation, plowing techniques, pineapple sucker preparation, and proper fertilizer application.In November 2024, a handover ceremony marked the formal transition of PINEX activities to local stakeholders. The ceremony was co-chaired by the Minister of Agriculture and US Ambassador, with PfD Board Treasurer Dami Odetola and Jack Marrkand in attendance. Over 80 stakeholders participated, with partners RPAB, CETRAB, AEAB, and CCAB affirming their commitment to maintaining project gains. The independent evaluation by Cosinus Conseils confirmed PINEX achieved 97% of its objectives.SAFE-TRADE - PfD secured a new $25.5 million monetization grant from USDA to launch the SAFE-TRADE project, focusing on expanded international agricultural trade, sanitary and phytosanitary systems improvements. The project will target 16,773 direct beneficiaries and strategically reinforce national systems and institutions. In December 2024, PfD submitted the required work plans and monitoring and evaluation frameworks to USDA. Activities began in 2025.
    Expenses $1,573,852
  • CAMBODIA PROGRAM During the period 1992-2021, PfD has won approximately $24.5 million in 46 grants and contracts from public and private donors for project activities in Cambodia. These activities have positively impacted several hundred thousand Cambodians in 16 of Cambodias 25 provinces. As of 2024, we continue in Cambodia, mainly working in improved access to credit for poorer households.
    Expenses $17,525
