Our work
Not simply to critique from the outside, but to do the harder work of building workable alternatives from the inside.
The mandate
IPGA’s mandate is to research what is actually happening on the ground, to build the capacity of those who make and implement policy, to advocate directly to decision-makers for evidence-based change, and to convene the honest conversations between government, researchers, and communities that too rarely happen.
Producing rigorous, evidence-based research and policy briefs that hold up to scrutiny: the foundation everything else is built on.
In practice
Equipping public servants, civil society actors, and students with the skills to design and implement gender-responsive policy, rather than simply telling them what is wrong with what exists.
In practice
Carrying evidence directly to the Ministries, Departments, Agencies, and legislative committees with the power to act on it, and holding that engagement over time rather than as a one-off event.
In practice
Creating spaces (roundtables, conferences, working groups) where government, academia, and communities can speak honestly to one another, often for the first time.
In practice
Who our programmes are for
Ministries, departments and agencies at federal and state level, legislative committee staff, and the Nasarawa State Ministry of Women Affairs.
Organisations carrying community insight who need the technical standing policymakers expect.
Researchers, postgraduate students, NYSC corps members and university interns.
Funders and international organisations commissioning research, training or convening.
Work with us
We design bespoke training, research and convening for ministries, agencies, development partners and universities. Tell us the decision you are trying to get right, and we will propose a programme around it.
