LEAP webinar series on lessons from 20 years of UK governance programming in Nigeria
Since 2019, LEAP, led by ODI, has undertaken research on Partnership to Engage, Research and Learn (PERL) and predecessor UK Government-funded programmes to strengthen the evidence base for governance reform in Nigeria. As part of end of programme activities, ODI in association with TPP are organising a series of public events to share lessons from 20 years of UK governance programmes in Nigeria.
The events will showcase findings and lessons from research on the impact of PERL and predecessor programmes on core governance reforms and service delivery improvements, as well as ways of working, looking in particular at 20 years of UK investment in four Northern states in Nigeria. There will be three webinars:
- 5th October - How does governance reform happen? Lessons from Nigeria
- 12th October - Working politically in practice: lessons from Nigeria
- 19th October - Does better governance lead to improved health and education? Lessons from Nigeria
