Can we change the narrative on corruption in public procurement in Nigeria?

Development Gateway (DG) has partnered with CSEA for the second phase of the Tobacco Control Data Initiative (TCDI). TCDI 2.0 aims to advance the work achieved in TCDI 1.0, which focused on improving tobacco control policies by providing governments, civil society, and academia of six African countries with country-specific data. To strengthen this partnership, Development Gateway organised a kick-off workshop in Lagos Nigeria.

The workshop enabled both teams to streamline their understanding and expectations of the program as well as provide some capacity building on the processes used in the first phase of the program, which will also be used on TCDI 2.0.

In this episode, RISE research fellow Julius Atuhurra speaks to CSEA's Director of Research, Dr. Adedeji Adeniran, about CSEA’s education research journey that has evolved from an initial focus on education financing to studying more nuanced topics, including: education system diagnosis, data quality, community engagement, policy analysis tools, and curriculum effectiveness. He highlights the need to fully grasp what transpires inside the classroom and how that is influenced by interactions happening outside the classroom. He also explains RISE Nigeria’s primary focus on demand-side actors and discusses findings from their recent study on primary-level curriculum effectiveness in Nigeria.
