NAD
Supporting Them Support Themselves

General

1. I need general information on the African diaspora, can NAD help me?

   We don't provide general or bespoke information on the African diaspora although we have a resource area on the web where we store what materials we have on the diaspora. We also have other resources in the African Diaspora Community Network Resource Centre (ADCNN). The resources are organised in categories:

   1. Education, Culture, ICT & Media

   2. Health and Social Care

   3. Finance and Economic Development

   4. Justice and Governance

   
   

   But please don't hesitate to contact us if you need any support from us.
   

2. Can NAD link me up with other African organisations?

   We don't link or recommend organisations through email or phone, but we provide on our website a database of UK African organisations engaged in African development work. The database lists the work areas engaged in by the organisations and also the country and geographic area, providing a valuable source of information for those looking to know what UK-based African organisations are doing. Organisations not already on the database are encouraged to submit their details.

3. Can NAD form a partnership or collaborate with my organisation?

   Yes! We do enter partnerships that are based on relationships and usually grow organically out of work we are engaged on.

4. Can NAD provide Funding or support me in raising funds for me or my organisation?

   We don't provide funding or support of any kind for fund raising.

    

5. Can NAD help with my academic research?

   We don't research or write academic research on behalf of students or other researchers although we have expertise on particular aspects of migration & development, particularly with reference to the African diaspora and refugee issues. Much of this information is in the download area of our website or in ADCNN. Following an appointment, we will also conduct a one-on-one interview, particularly if the focus of the research has the potential of improving understanding of core areas of NAD Project's work.

6. Does NILE African Development have any vacancies?

   We don't respond to unsolicited requests for employment.  If we have any employment vacacies, we post them on our website or advertise them widely through our networks. We are unable to arrange work permits.

7. Can I volunteer at NILE African Development?

   We regularly offer opportunites for interns and volunteers who have the right to live, work, and study in the UK as most of our work is done by volunteers. We can't arrange visas for people to come from outside the UK & EU and We don't pay our interns or volunteers a salary.

8. I am not an African, can I still be a member of NILE African Development?

   YES! We welcome everybody as this organisation is open to all.
   

9. Must I register as a member of NILE African Development in order to access the services offered?

   NO. We don't keep a register of members as everyone if free to be part of this wonderful organisation.
   

10. I have some ideas about developmental work here in the UK and in Sub Saharan Africa, how can I get involved with NAD?

    Just contact Us and we shall be happy to discuss with you.
    

11. Do you only work with individuals and voluntary organisations?

    NO. As you can see from the programs, projects and services we offer we work with a cross section of groups, agencies, schools, churches, colleges, universities, local and international groups and agencies and individuals. So if you are interested in working with NAD, please remember to contact us.
    

12. Do you have premises to offer like office, meeting and training space for other organisations?

    YES WE DO. Please let us know your requirements
