Institute for Humanitarian Studies and Social Development - IHSD Training leaders, strengthening NGOs, and empowering communities to create lasting humanitarian and social impact. Celebrating Humanitarians/Awards (3.)

In the bid to complement the efforts of Government and the United Nations in promoting humanitarianism and non-profit services, the Institute for Humanitarian Studies and Social Development (IHSD) was established and registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria following the approval of the Federal Ministry of Education. It was formally inaugurated in August 12th, 2010 at the Lagos

Sheraton Hotels, Ikeja where the certificate was presented by the former Commonwealth Secretary General, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, (CFR) who represented the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, (GCFR). The establishment of the Institute is driven by the imperative of adding values, credibility, integrity and professionalism to the activities of nongovernmental organisations and other humanitarian projects, and to achieve this goal, three strategies are used, namely: (1) Training and Consultancy (2.) Research and Community Service projects. To achieve our mandate, we have received the endorsement and collaborative support of organisations such as the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR, Nigeria) and the African Refugees Foundation.
