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

Effective collaboration between governance and sector programmes: Assessment of the evidence on what works
Over the past two decades in Nigeria, the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and its predecessor the Department for International Development (DFID) have encouraged close collaboration between their governance, health and education programmes. Effectiveness is assessed in terms of whether the collaboration enabled the programmes to perform complementary and mutually supporting roles that support improvements in service delivery in a synergistic way that could not have been achieved by programmes acting on their own.
Working politically in practice: lessons from Nigeria
This is the second event in a series of three webinars sharing lessons emerging from research led by LEAP on the PERL programme in Nigeria.
This event, co-convened with the Thinking and Working Politically (TWP) Community of Practice, explores how donor-supported efforts to promote governance reform can work in ways that are politically smart and anchored in learning and adaptation.
