NEW Foundation

About us

Neighbourhood Environment Watch (NEW) Foundation is an environment focused nongovernmental organisation with a country office in Nigeria. NEW Foundation works to inspire collective action towards environmental governance that ensures a healthy and suitable livelihood. Our programs address governance failures that exacerbate environmental pollution, poverty, and hunger. We work with partners such as USAID/FHI360, UNOPS-UNDP, UNICEF, and other National and International donors to build the capacity of poor, underserved communities in Nigeria and West Africa, building platforms for participatory governance and other cross-cutting issues including natural resource governance, gender mainstreaming and social justice. Our programs address governance failures that exacerbate environmental pollution, poverty, and hunger.
