The Nehi Commons Collective

The Nehi Commons Collective is an African-led strategic advisory collective specialising in structural localisation and institutional systems strengthening. We partner with development and humanitarian actors to redesign programmes, governance frameworks, and delivery systems so they are locally anchored, operationally coherent, and politically intelligent.

NCC Leadership

Founder and Lead Strategist of NCC, Iyayi-Osazeme Oyegun specialises in designing systems that hold under pressure. She brings over a decade of UN and multi-sector experience to align gender equity, localisation, and institutional accountability with operational reality across complex environments. She is NCC’s West African anchor, and resident polyglot, enabling the collective to reach a multiplicity of clients beyond language barriers.
Partner and Co-Lead, Dudziro Nhengu strengthens NCC’s governance, peacebuilding, and conflict-sensitive programming portfolio. She expands the collective’s capacity to design systems that are politically grounded, mediation-informed, and resilient in complex operating environments. She also serves as NCC’s Southern Africa anchor, deepening the collective’s regional reach and political economy insight.
