Impact
Bridging the Gap
To bridge the gap between what policies promise and what people need—through empathy, evidence, and equity.
We create scalable, sustainable change by placing communities at the center of reform.
Crafting Experience
Established in 2023, CISD emerged as a response to persistent mismatches between policy intent and lived realities in Nigeria. Our model was built on human-centered design, grassroots ownership, and systemic reform.
