From clean water access to environmental advocacy, CWED delivers integrated, community-centred solutions across five core technical disciplines — each shaped by decades of field experience in Nigeria and beyond.
CWED brings together technical expertise, community engagement, and policy influence to address Nigeria's most pressing water and environmental challenges. Our five service areas work in tandem — each strengthening the other — to create lasting, systemic change.
Every programme is designed with and for the communities we serve, ensuring local ownership and long-term sustainability.
Our interventions are grounded in rigorous data collection, monitoring, and independent research to ensure measurable impact.
We collaborate with government agencies, NGOs, academic institutions, and international development partners to amplify impact.
Each discipline is backed by decades of field experience in Nigeria. Click any card to read the full detail page.
Borehole drilling, WASH promotion, school sanitation facilities, water quality monitoring, and Water User Association capacity building for rural and urban communities.
Environmental impact assessments, climate adaptation planning, ecosystem restoration, pollution monitoring, and regulatory compliance advisory services.
CLTS facilitation, institutional capacity building, school eco-clubs, women's leadership training, policy advocacy, and stakeholder engagement campaigns.
Watershed management plans, land use planning, biodiversity conservation, agro-forestry promotion, flood risk assessment, and erosion control interventions.
Baseline surveys, programme evaluations, environmental data collection, hydrological studies, knowledge management, and technical report writing.
Our five service areas are designed to complement each other — addressing water, environment, capacity, resources, and knowledge as a single interconnected system.
CWED designs, implements, and monitors clean water supply and sanitation systems for underserved communities. From borehole drilling to household-level WASH promotion, we work to close Nigeria's water access gap one community at a time.
Over 350 boreholes drilled and rehabilitated across northern Nigeria.
Sanitation facilities installed in 60+ schools in Kaduna State.
Designing and constructing sustainable water supply infrastructure in rural communities, including hand pumps, motorised boreholes, and small piped schemes.
Constructing improved household, institutional, and public sanitation facilities with focus on gender-sensitive, disability-inclusive design standards.
Delivering community-led total sanitation (CLTS) campaigns, hygiene education, and behaviour change communication to sustain healthy practices.
CWED helps communities, institutions, and governments understand and respond to climate change. From environmental impact assessments to ecosystem restoration, we build resilience where it matters most.
Conducting rigorous EIAs and strategic environmental assessments for development projects to ensure regulatory compliance.
Developing community-tailored climate adaptation plans that address floods, drought, and shifting rainfall patterns in northern Nigeria.
Leading reforestation, wetland rehabilitation, and green infrastructure projects to restore degraded natural systems.
Establishing environmental monitoring systems for air, water, and soil quality in industrial and agricultural zones.
Providing expert advisory services to help organisations navigate Nigeria's environmental regulations, NESREA standards, and international environmental frameworks including SDG 13 and 15.
Youth-led Eco Clubs active in 30+ schools in Kaduna through the AGILE programme.
60% of training participants are women and girls, ensuring inclusive capacity development.
CWED invests in people — training community members, local leaders, government staff, and youth to understand, protect, and manage their water and environmental resources. Our advocacy work translates community voices into policy action.
Structured multi-day workshops for community water committees, government environmental officers, and project implementation teams.
Engaging legislators, regulatory agencies, and international bodies to champion progressive water and environmental policies in Nigeria.
Running school-based eco-clubs, environmental competitions, and curriculum support tools to build the next generation of environmental stewards.
Nigeria's natural resources — its forests, rivers, wetlands, and farmlands — are under increasing pressure. CWED works with communities and governments to sustainably manage these assets, balancing development needs with ecological integrity.
Developing integrated watershed management plans that protect water sources and reduce downstream flooding and sedimentation.
Conducting biological surveys and working with communities to establish locally managed conservation areas and buffer zones.
Supporting local and state governments with GIS-based land use mapping and participatory spatial planning processes.
Promoting sustainable farming-forestry integration models that improve food security while restoring degraded drylands.
CWED's research arm generates the knowledge that guides its programming — and that of its partners. From baseline surveys to full programme evaluations, our rigorous, ethical research practice ensures that every intervention is informed, adaptive, and accountable.
Primary data collection across 18 Nigerian states using validated survey instruments and GIS mapping.
Technical reports, policy briefs, and knowledge products shared with government and development partners.
Independent evaluation of WASH, climate, and environmental programmes using mixed-method approaches, including participatory appraisals and quantitative surveys.
Household and community-level data collection, water point mapping, and sanitation coverage surveys to inform programme design and policy recommendations.
Producing technical reports, policy briefs, training manuals, and learning documentation to share findings and best practices with wider audiences.
A consistent, proven methodology guides every CWED engagement — from initial community scoping to long-term post-project monitoring.
We begin with thorough community consultations, needs assessments, and environmental baselines to understand the context deeply.
Solutions are co-designed with community stakeholders, integrating technical expertise with local knowledge and cultural practices.
Our experienced field teams deliver projects with rigorous quality assurance, timely reporting, and transparent financial management.
Post-handover support, community training, and monitoring visits ensure interventions remain effective long after project close.
Federal and state ministries, local government areas, and regulatory agencies on water, environment, and agriculture.
National and international NGOs implementing WASH, climate, and food security programmes across Nigeria.
UN agencies, bilateral donors, and multilateral institutions funding development programmes in Nigeria and West Africa.
Universities, think-tanks, and research institutes collaborating on water, climate, and environmental studies.
