Our Work
We don’t just talk reform. We build it—with communities at the center.
Work &
Impact
From public finance transparency in Nasarawa to women-led agricultural advocacy in Anambra, our work cuts across sectors—but always centers people.
CISD’s programs, campaigns, and policy engagements are unified by a common thread: they translate big ideas into everyday impact.
Programs
Policy
Campaigns
Here’s how we measure our work:
By how many people are mobilized, not just how many reports are printed.
By which institutions shift, not just which policies are drafted.
Our impact spans local to national—anchored in field work, lifted by evidence, and driven by an unshakeable belief that real change must be lived, not just legislated.
By who is at the table,
not just what gets discussed.
Our
Application
Innovation isn’t about technology. It’s about what’s possible—together.
Our application of ideas is as flexible as the communities we work with. We bring frameworks into the field—but we let context shape how they land.
Whether co-developing tools with policymakers or piloting behavioral design with community health workers, we always test, iterate, and adapt.
