Research and Development

Our research efforts are geared towards generating evidence and producing resources to inform advocacy efforts, program improvement, and policy actions such as setting up policy agenda, supporting policy formulation and reform processes. Through these products, we aim to positively impact the health, social justice and development of young people.

Evidence Generation

We believe that evidence-based decision-making is key to creating lasting change, and we are dedicated to conducting research that is both rigorous and relevant. Through partnerships with leading researchers, organizations, and stakeholders, we are able to generate insights and identify best practices that can be used to inform decision-making at all levels. Our research spans a wide range of topics, from Drug Policy Reform, Health, Youth Empowerment, and we are constantly seeking new ways to expand our knowledge and improve our methods.

Strategic Information Dissemination

YouthRISE Nigeria ensures targeted dissemination of evidence-based information on health and drug-related issues through policy briefs, articles, research publications, engagement with the media, etc and other publications that synthesize our findings and provide actionable recommendations. We also continue to open the space for discourse in drug policy and effective responses to drug-related harms. We also engage in outreach and advocacy to ensure that our research is reaching the key stakeholders who can drive change. We believe that our commitment to evidence generation and information dissemination is key to driving positive change and improving outcomes for all.
