About us
Who we are
We are a team of change-makers who believe that every helping hand can raise a child and create a better future for them.
We are a team of dedicated changemakers committed to fostering sustainable development and social inclusion in communities across Nigeria. Our organization focuses on empowering marginalized groups, particularly women, youth, and smallholder groups, through targeted programs that address critical gaps in education, healthcare, livelihoods, and governance. With a focus on evidence-based interventions, CISD collaborates with communities, stakeholders, and governments to drive long-lasting, positive change.
Our approach
Our approach is driven by:
Behavioral Research: Using data-driven insights to develop solutions that address systemic challenges.
Community Engagement: Collaborating with communities to co-create sustainable interventions tailored to their needs.
Policy Advocacy: Designing evidence-based recommendations to influence policy and drive sustainable impact.
Our Mission
We are committed to empowering citizens and engaging governments at all levels to foster sustainable development.
Through a holistic approach, we focus on key areas such as health, education, sustainable livelihoods, governance and civic participation, gender and social inclusion, and tax justice.
Our mission is to create a more equitable society by addressing systemic barriers and enabling inclusive growth and development.
Our Vision
We envision a society where everyone has equal access to quality healthcare, education, and opportunities for sustainable livelihoods.
Our goal is to create a world where communities—both rural and urban—thrive on gender equality and social inclusion. We see a future where marginalized groups are empowered to fully participate in decision-making and development processes, creating lasting change at the community, state, and national levels. Through collaboration and inclusive growth, no one will be left behind.
