The NNPC Limited and FIRST Exploration and Petroleum Development Company Limited (First E&P) have officially launched a new initiative called 'Impact First: Heritage'. This multi-year grant program is aimed at providing ongoing funding and partnership support to exceptional non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Nigeria that have shown significant impact, accountability, and governance in their operations.

The launch event for the 'Impact First: Heritage' grant program took place recently, marking a significant step towards enhancing social development across the country. The initiative is expected to empower NGOs that have made notable contributions to their communities, enabling them to scale their efforts and reach more beneficiaries.

This partnership between NNPC Limited and First E&P highlights a commitment to fostering sustainable development through collaboration with civil society. By focusing on accountability and governance, the program aims to ensure that the funds are utilized effectively to create lasting change in various sectors.

The 'Impact First: Heritage' program is part of a broader strategy by the joint venture to enhance social responsibility and drive positive outcomes in Nigeria. The initiative underscores the importance of supporting local organisations that are at the forefront of addressing social challenges and improving the quality of life for Nigerians.

As the program unfolds, it is anticipated that more NGOs will be able to access the resources they need to implement impactful projects, thereby contributing to the overall development goals of the nation. This initiative not only seeks to provide financial support but also aims to build long-term relationships with NGOs that are dedicated to making a difference in their communities.
