Who We Are

Genesis of our chosen path…..

Established in 2013, the Institute of Voluntary Sector Management (IVSM) is the first and only professional body with a focus on developing the capacity of the NGOs and developing the skills of management practitioners working in the non-profit sector and those responsible for corporate social responsibilities within the Private Sector of the Nigerian economy.

For over 10 years, the Institute of Voluntary Sector Management (IVSM) has brought people together to solve problems, address root causes, and inspire each other.  We know the power of the voluntary sector and volunteering.  No one organisation can solve society’s challenges alone, but collectively we are all vital for sustaining society in times of challenge and change such as Nigeria is currently going through with high unemployment rate, crippling government debt and hyper inflationary pressures.
