REFERENCE NUMBER: RFP 0124-01
PURPOSE: RESEARCHERS FOR CITIZEN MOBILISATION AS AN ALTERNATIVE PRESSURE MECHANISM IN POLITICAL ACTION

A. BACKGROUND:
Despite over two decades of democratic governance, Nigeria continues to experience limited and inconsistent citizen participation in political and governance processes. While periodic elections provide a formal avenue for engagement, citizens’ influence on governance and government policy decisions between electoral cycles remains weak. Traditional mobilisation channels – such as civic education, advocacy campaigns, and civil society engagement – often fail to translate into sustained political pressure or accountability.
