Empowering communities to co-create innovative solutions for sustainable development and lasting impact.
Collaborative Development for Impact Foundation (Co-Dev Impact Foundation) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing sustainable development, social innovation, and inclusive growth across Nigeria and the wider African region. Established as the impact-driven arm of Co-Development Hub, the Foundation bridges the gap between innovation and impact by designing, implementing, and scaling community-centered programs that drive social change and economic empowerment.
Our work is rooted in collaboration — bringing together communities, development actors, private sector players, and policymakers to co-create solutions to the continent’s most pressing challenges. We believe that impact is greatest when ideas, skills, and resources are shared toward a collective vision of inclusive and resilient communities
