NiSA operates through a collaborative implementation model that ensures efficiency, avoids duplication, and maximizes impact across the shea value chain.
Activities initiated and managed by NiSA members — cooperatives, private sector, and community groups driving local-level change.
Technical assistance, coordination, and resource mobilisation provided by the NiSA secretariat to strengthen member initiatives.
Strategic activities directly managed by NiSA — policy advocacy, international representation, and sector-wide coordination.
Working together with members, partners, and stakeholders for shared outcomes.
Ensuring long-term environmental and economic viability in everything we do.
Ensuring all actors, especially women and smallholders, have a voice and role.
Transparent processes, measurable outcomes, and responsible resource use.
Our implementation model puts communities at the centre, ensuring every intervention is demand-driven and sustainable.
