Who We Are

The Pan African Institute for Entrepreneurship and Community Development (PAIECD) is a professional, membership based institution in special consultative status with United Nations Economic and Social Council (UN ECOSOC) and member, United Nations Habitat University Partners Initiative.

Pan African Institute for Entrepreneurship and Community Development established in the year 2013 and incorporated by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) RC 1154329 has a mandate of the Federal Ministries of Education and Justice to professionalize entrepreneurship and community development in Nigeria and promote advanced knowledge, education and skill acquisition, career in trades, training, practice, research and support across diverse spheres by stimulating creative ideas, techniques and opportunities for sustainable communities and national growth.

As part of its mandates, PAIECD also aims to provide entrepreneurs and enterprise researchers in all disciplines with avenues for interaction, education, support and enhanced access to technology, resources, partners and services essential to the creation of successful enterprises.

Since entrepreneurs are critical drivers of job creation and economic prosperity leading to community development, the Institute equips entrepreneurs and community developers with creative ideas, skills and spirits needed to start and organize commercial enterprises in all sectors of the society and generate wealth for personal improvement, social innovation and economic growth.
