Greener Initiatives for Development and Innovation (GIDI NYCE) is a national campaign committed to environmental awareness, waste management, and sustainable innovation across Nigeria.
GIDI NYCE (Green Initiative for Development and Impact) is a pan-Nigerian public awareness campaign dedicated to promoting proper waste management, job creation through upcycling, and educating the public on turning waste into wealth. Our pilot phase will take place across Lagos, Anambra, and Cross River States — targeting communities, schools, market hubs, and policy influencers.
Through this initiative, we aim to:
Organize community clean-up drives and awareness campaigns.
Host upcycling workshops and eco-entrepreneurship bootcamps.
Establish environmental clubs in schools and youth centers.
Promote behavioral change and influence sustainable policy.
GidiNYCE is Pioneering Nigeria’s circular economy, transforming waste into wealth and communities into changemakers
Our mission is to transform waste into wealth, empower local communities, and create green jobs through upcycling, education, and strategic partnerships.
By pursuing these immediate and long-term goals, GIDI NYCE aims to ignite a passionate movement that transforms the Nation at Large into a shining example of sustainability and community spirit! Let’s work together to create the change we wish to see!
Sponsors provide essential funding and materials, enabling effective clean-up activities. This translates directly into cleaner public spaces, reduced pollution, and improved habitats for local wildlife.
By partnering with environmentally- focused businesses, GIDI NYCE can access innovative solutions and technologies that promote responsible waste management and sustainable practices, fostering greener community.
Sponsors often have expertise in sustainability. They can help facilitate workshops and seminars that educate the community about environmental issues, encouraging informed actions that lead to lasting preservation efforts.
Sponsorships can fund tree planting initiatives and the maintenance of green spaces, contributing to biodiversity, enhancing air quality, and combating urban heat.
Sponsors can support recycling drives and campaigns promoting the reduction of single-use plastics. These focused efforts can lead to significant decreases in waste generation and improved recycling rates in the community.
Sponsorship often includes training for volunteers, helping them gain valuable skills in leadership, project management, and environmental stewardship—empowering individuals to take action in their community.
Sponsor-supported events create spaces for residents to come together, foster connections, and build a sense of belonging. This unity enhances community cohesion and collective responsibility toward the environment.
Local businesses that sponsor community events may create job opportunities for residents, stimulating the local economy and showcasing the value of sustainable business practices.
When businesses invest in community initiatives, they help build trust and social networks. This enhances community solidarity and encourages citizens to participate in ongoing environmental efforts.
Sponsors can amplify the community’s voice on environmental issues, advocating for policy changes that benefit their neighborhoods, and ensuring they have a stake in the decisions affecting their environment
Community members, inspired by the support from sponsors, often take charge of their local environment long after events end. This grassroots movement can lead to continuous environmental initiatives that underpin a sustainable culture.
