IFFPAN
The International Ford Fellowship Program Alumni Nigeria (IFFPAN) is a non for profit, alumni association platform run by the beneficiaries of the Ford Foundation International Fellowship Program from Nigeria, a group of transformative leaders and changemakers in their respective domains. Our goal is to use this platform, to harness our social capital that foster collaboration, innovation, and impactful change in local communities.
IFFPAN members bring together a wide range of expertise to address critical social issues through a social justice lens, focusing on education, public advocacy, community engagement, and program implementation. Through both online and on-site platforms, we design and deliver initiatives that create meaningful impact. We actively collaborate with partners and organizations to amplify our reach and ensure that our efforts contribute to lasting and inclusive development.
