About NADA
A frontline national NGO dedicated to bridging the gap between emergency relief and long-term sustainable development in Nigeria.
Who We Are / Background
Novel Alliance for Development Aid (NADA) is a frontline national non-governmental organization registered with Nigeria’s Corporate Affairs Commission. Founded in 2017 in Maiduguri, Borno State, NADA was established by a group of Nigerian humanitarian professionals driven to alleviate the suffering caused by conflict and disaster.
Our journey began in response to the humanitarian crisis in Northeast Nigeria, where millions of people especially women and children were displaced and deprived of basic socio-economic rights. Today, NADA has evolved into a multi-sectoral organization delivering integrated services.
