Our Mission
Our Mission
Our mission is to harness the power of media and digital technology to mobilize the global community and empower young people with the skills needed for the digital future.
What We Do: Our Projects and Initiatives
Our ongoing projects address critical issues, such as the Highly Hazardous Pesticides Joint Advocacy Project. Pesticides pose a major threat to public health and the environment, with tragic incidents like the Endosulfan-related deaths in Benue state underscoring the urgency of our intervention. Through robust research, community engagement, and advocacy, we work towards raising awareness, implementing sustainable agricultural practices, and influencing regulatory improvements.
Our past projects, like the Highly Hazardous Pesticides Social Media Awareness Project and the HHPs Study Tour, reflect our commitment to educating the public and stakeholders. We believe that knowledge is power, and by shedding light on the negative impacts of pesticide use, we contribute to building a healthier, more informed society.
Empowering Through Digital Technology
CEDE is not just about addressing immediate challenges; we are also dedicated to equipping young people with the skills and tools needed for the digital future. Our digital tech training programs target passionate individuals looking to maximize the power of digital media for personal and community advancement.
Collaborate with Us
While we welcome collaboration and support from the government, private sector, individuals, civil society organizations, and developmental agencies, CEDE operates on a volunteer-driven model. Our commitment to practices and policies that enhance the lives of young people drives us forward.
Join us on this journey of empowerment, education, and advocacy. Together, let’s build a future where every individual is not just a recipient of change but a catalyst for positive transformation
MAKE A DONATION
Nigeria is currently facing challenges related to education, leadership, and youth unemployment. Many promising young people are unable to realize their full potential because of a dysfunctional system. CEDE is committed to transforming this situation. We implore you to join us in becoming a vital part of the solution. Donate to our cause and help us shape a better future for Nigeria’s youths.
It is inevitable that we will need digital technology to re-imagine learning beyond schooling. Even if it is only to inspire people to do more things physically.
