Consumer Advocacy and Empowerment Foundation (CADEF) is a non-profit organization registered in 2008 with the Corporate Affairs of Commission (CAC), Nigeria. (IT/NO: 28691)
CADEF has significant expertise in providing and executing capacity development programs for youths in regions with limited access to resources and services, as well as assessing and tracking their performance to monitor their learning outcomes and gauge their development in various areas including life skills, and basic financial literacy. CADEF strongly believes it is essential to equip the youth with the knowledge and skills to manage their finances, defend their rights and diversify their sources of income.
CADEF’s vision is to be an advocate for justice and fairness and promote innovation and entrepreneurship. Our mission is to promote a just and humane society through enhanced consumer protection, advocacy, entrepreneurship and empowerment to strengthen sustainable economic growth.
The organization is dedicated to the empowerment, protection, emancipation and enlightenment of consumers in Nigeria. This initiative was born from the need to increase the level of awareness of the consumers on standardization of goods and services, enforcement and litigation, and the desire to act as an incubator that promotes entrepreneurship amongst the youth.
