About Us

Agents for Citizen-driven Transformation (ACT) works with civil society organisations (CSOs) to enable them to be credible and effective drivers of change in Nigeria’s development. Our work focuses on the following areas:

  1. Strengthening the system of civil society organisations, networks, and coalitions to improve their internal, external, and programmatic capabilities.

 

  1. Providing a platform for multi-stakeholder dialogue for an improved and effective regulatory environment for the operation of CSOs in Nigeria.

We work with CSOs in 10 states selected across the six geopolitical zones in the country: Adamawa, Borno, Edo, Enugu, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Kano, Lagos, Plateau, Rivers and Sokoto.

We also focus on providing a platform for multi-stakeholder dialogue for an improved, effective, and inclusive regulatory environment for the operation of the CSO in Nigeria. This work is implemented across the 36 states and the FCT. The four-year programme (2019 – 2023) is funded by the European Union and implemented by the British Council.
