In 2023, Evrima supported NMAP-led team carrying out the year-long Ford Foundation-funded project in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The goal was to:

  1. explore current narratives on disability and climate change justice in the region, and

  2. to map collaboration opportunities for the two advocacy movements.

The study was community-engaged at its heart and involved collaborating with over 80 persons with disabilities, disability activists, and representatives of climate justice civil society organizations from Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, and Rivers states to validate the findings and recommendations for the advocacy, government, and philanthropy stakeholders.

Evrima assisted the project team with developing research plan and instruments, as well as capacity building in applied research for local teams in the Niger Delta. We also supported fieldwork activities as well as the final analysis and reporting.
