Who We Are
We are committed to building a world where all coastal dwellers live a fulfilled life.
Coastal and Marine Areas Development Initiative (CMADI) is a non-governmental organization incorporated in December 2010. It was birthed due to the need to address several challenges in the coastal communities. We are in the heart of the Niger Delta collaborating with people and organizations to promote and improve sustainable development. Our focus is on the empowerment of the people in the coastal communities through capacity building and development. This will result in increasing the chances of them living a better life.
