2. Organizational Overview

2.1 Background

HopeBridge Development Initiative (HDI) was established in 2024 as a Lagos-based nonprofit organization aimed at addressing multidimensional poverty and inequality among women, children, and vulnerable youth. The founding members—comprised of community development professionals, educators, medical practitioners, and legal experts—shared a collective concern over the rising rate of school dropouts, unemployment, domestic abuse, and preventable diseases in inner-city Lagos and neighboring rural areas.

In response, HDI was conceived not merely as a service organization, but as a catalyst for sustainable transformation, using community engagement, skills development, and policy advocacy as tools for development.

2.2 Legal Structure

HopeBridge Development Initiative is registered under Part C of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) as an Incorporated Trustee with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in Nigeria. The organization operates as a nonprofit, governed by a Board of Trustees and managed by a professional team.

It complies with all relevant Nigerian laws relating to nonprofit organizations, including annual filings, tax exemption under Section 23(1)(c) of CITA, and NDPR data protection compliance.

2.3 Governance Structure

• Board of Trustees (5 Members): Provides policy direction, oversight, and ensures compliance and transparency.
• Executive Director: Oversees strategic and operational execution.
• Programs & M&E Officer: Designs and monitors impact-based projects.
• Finance and Admin Officer: Handles budgetary, grant management, and audit compliance.
• Field Coordinators (per project): Lead implementation and beneficiary engagement.

2.4 Strategic Approach

HDI uses a community-driven, evidence-based approach, which includes:

• Participatory Needs Assessment with target groups.
• Program design in collaboration with local stakeholders and experts.
• Implementation using a blend of direct delivery and local partnerships.
