DAI Global is committed to sustainable development worldwide. We have corporate offices in the US, UK, Brussels, and Nigeria comprising various Business units and program offices in more than 100 countries.

In early 2018, DAI established a corporate presence in Nigeria to efficiently support DAI’s growing portfolio of development programs and to drive new business opportunities across public, donor, and private customer segments. DAI’s recent sectoral experience in Nigeria includes governance, health, economic growth, education, and WASH. DAI’s goals for the Nigeria office include more efficient operations and diversified clientele and this requires strong knowledge management, engaged strategic communications, outstanding technical delivery, and agile business development. This is underpinned by new business, knowledge management, and project management functions in addition to functions in operations, contract, and financial management. The strategic communications & knowledge management functions serve as the lynchpin with all parts of the company through a mix of standard and billable work covering three key areas – corporate communications; knowledge management; new business; and technical delivery.
