Working with the Partnership to Engage, Reform and Learn team, Gareth Williams, TPP Director, has co-authored this case study that analyses improvements to primary education in Kaduna State, focusing on the 2009– 2020 period before the COVID-19 school closures. 

This annex to the Flagship Report on the impact of 20 years of UK governance programming in Nigeria summarises key findings from the four longer case studies that form the evidence on which it is based.

Laure-Hélène Piron and Gareth Williams, TPP Directors, together with TPP Associates Clare Cummings, Suwaiba Ahmed, Sunny Kulutuye and others from the Partnership to Engage, Reform and Learn (PERL), have co-authored this flagship report analysing 20 years of governance programmes in Nigeria funded by the British Government.

This research identifies the contextual factors and causal mechanisms that explain how UK governance interventions contributed to improving governance, health and education outcomes by influencing the ‘service delivery chain’ that connects the Nigerian federal, state and local governments to frontline service providers (e.g. primary schools, local health facilities) and to users of health and education services.
