Oversees program strategy across all four pillars and represents rSUDiN to partners and government.
ROUNDCARE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE is a small, technical team working alongside community animal health workers, farmer groups, and local leaders across Nigeria — not in place of them.
In rural communities across Nigeria, human health, animal health, and the condition of the land have never been separate problems — a sick herd means a hungry household, a degraded grazing corridor means a harder season for everyone who depends on it. ROUNDCARE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE was formed to work at that intersection directly, rather than treating health, environment, and livelihoods as three separate mandates.
We started with a simple conviction: that the people closest to these problems — herders, farmers, community animal health workers, traditional leaders — already hold most of the knowledge needed to solve them. Our role is to bring technical capacity, connect communities to public health and veterinary authorities, and get out of the way once local leadership can carry the work forward on its own.
That conviction now shapes everything we do, across all four of our program pillars: One Health, Environmental Sustainability, Sustainable Agriculture and Livelihoods, and Local Community Empowerment.
The people setting direction for our programmes and leading delivery in the communities we serve.
Community-based volunteers extend our reach far past what a small staff team could manage alone — supporting outreach days, farmer trainings, and local data collection in their own communities.
