Who We Are

Established in 2022, Policy Proximity Lab (PPL Nigeria) is an agile action lab dedicated to bridging the gap between government policies and the lived realities of citizens.

About PPL

Turning Evidence into Better Public Systems

Rather than producing lengthy academic reports, we conduct precise behavioral diagnostics and develop practical policy blueprints that improve how public programmes interact with people.

Every intervention is grounded in evidence, co-created with communities, and designed through a gender-inclusive lens to ensure equitable access to public services.

Our Methodology

Our work is driven by three interconnected pillars that transform research into measurable policy impact.

Behavioral Diagnostics

We identify the hidden psychological, behavioral, and structural barriers preventing citizens from benefiting from public systems.

Human Centered Design

We collaborate directly with communities to co-design practical solutions that fit everyday realities.

Gender Inclusion Lens

Every recommendation is examined to ensure equitable access and inclusive outcomes for women, men, and vulnerable populations.
