A think-tank focused on policy research and development planning

About Us

Our aim is to proffer glocal solutions to issues of development across Nigeria.

We apply a multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral approach to address the policy and knowledge-gaps in the government, the parliament, the private sector and civil society, which exacerbate poor human development and indices at the individual, community, national and international levels. 

Our work is driven by a pool of local and international experts renowned for their specialties and expertise in research, community-based interventions, advocacy, capacity-building and project management. 

Our Core Values

We are guided by four core values which are evident in our projects and work ethics, and applied by both our staff, consultants and trustees in carrying out their roles. These values are: 

Integrity

This is the guiding principle of our work ethics. We are accountable to the people and partners we humbly serve, transparently sharing our results, stories and lessons.

Excellence

We challenge ourselves to the highest level of learning and performance, tapping the best of the human spirit to create impact.

Adaptability

We embrace differences, actively including a variety of voices, and joining together we can solve development problems.

Innovation

We believe in urgent action, innovation, and the necessity of transformation within the world and the Center.
