The Executive Summary
The global development sector is experiencing tremendous progress, yet, grappling with lots of challenges. Negative social, economic and environmental problems have been created by the quest for development, resource control and power relations in the society. Envisioned in 2015 and registered with Nigeria’s Corporate Affairs Commission in 2018, Development Impact Pathfinders Initiative (Devimpath) sees an opportunity to make a difference in the development sector by initiating and implementing transformative programs that will create development pathways for people, communities and the environment to thrive alongside global development.
By working with partners and stakeholders, Devimpath seeks to positively impact the lives of people, improve development pathways for marginalized populations, build resilient communities, and contribute to accelerating progress towards a more equitable and sustainable society.
