Today, DEAN brought together government representatives, media practitioners, climate actors, storytellers, civil society organisations and community leaders for a Multi-Stakeholder Climate/Digital Governance Dialogue under our project, Connecting Sahel Climate Stories to Local Governance Realities.
The dialogue created room for different voices to meet, share perspectives and examine how climate experiences within communities can influence local governance, strengthen digital accountability and inform more responsive decisions.
We used the insights inspired by @pulitzercenter supported Stories from our Climate Community Story Lab as conversation trigger, to engage the stakeholders on policies and decisions made by government, and the need to close the gap between lived realities and governance action.
We appreciate the @pulitzercenter for funding and supporting this project. Your support is helping create spaces where climate stories can travel beyond the communities they come from and contribute to conversations that matter.
Because climate stories should not just tell us what is happening. They should help shape what happens next.

Today, we blow out 15 candles, representing half a generation of driving civic impact across Africa. 🎉
For 15 years, BudgIT has been helping people understand how public money is raised, allocated and spent, and giving citizens the information they need to ask questions about it.
We have built civic technology tools that make public information easier to find and understand, reaching people and communities who use them to follow projects, check public spending and stay informed about what their governments are doing.
Today, we are celebrating the people who have made all of this possible.
Our donors and partners, thank you for believing in the work and supporting us through the years. To the communities that use our tools and continue to engage with the work, thank you. And to the Humans of BudgIT, thank you for showing up, doing the work and caring deeply about why it matters.
There is a lot to celebrate today, and we are happy to share this moment with everyone who has been part of the BudgIT story.
Happy 15th anniversary, BudgIT! 🎉🥂

From conversation to commitment.
What started with a courtesy visit has now grown into a formal commitment to collaborate.
Today, the Public and Private Development Centre (PPDC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Seedgate Foundation, strengthening our shared commitment to advancing community impact, good governance, and sustainable development.

Mid-Year Evaluation Highlights | Day 2 and 3
Learning is one of the best investments we can make in ourselves and in the work we do.
Following an initial round of individual evaluations on day 2, day 3 featured a session between Migtan Consultants, Oscar Ugwuegbu and Titilayo Ugwuegbu, and the programmes section of the Centre including the Executive Director, Fr. Atta Barkindo, Ph.D.
The session tasked participants to think differently about operational excellence, strengthen the systems that support our work, and continue building a workplace where people can do their best work. From insightful conversations on nonprofit leadership to reviewing key HR policies, the sessions were curated towards TKC becoming a stronger institution.

Your Vote begins with your PVC!
There are only 12 days left to register for your Permanent Voter's Card (PVC). If you are yet to register, have relocated, need to update your details, or replace a lost or damaged PVC, now is the time to act.
Your PVC is your voice, your power, and your opportunity to shape the future of your community and Nigeria.
At ActionAid Nigeria, we believe that active citizenship is essential to building accountable governance, reducing poverty, and advancing justice. Every eligible Nigerian deserves the opportunity to participate in free, fair, and credible elections.
Visit any INEC office nearest to you and #GetYourPVC

PRESS RELEASE
EXTENSION OF CONTINUOUS VOTER REGISTRATION (CVR) AND INTRODUCTION OF SELF-SERVICE REGISTRATION FOR FIRST-TIME VOTERS
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) wishes to inform Nigerians that, following a review of the ongoing nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise and feedbacks received from its State Offices, political parties, civil society organisations, and other stakeholders, the Commission has approved a two-week extension of the exercise.
As Nigerians are aware, the nationwide CVR exercise commenced on 18th August, 2025 and was originally scheduled to conclude on 10th July 2026. In order to provide additional opportunity for eligible citizens who are yet to register, the Commission has extended the exercise to Sunday, 26th July 2026.
The extension underscores the Commission's commitment to ensuring that every eligible Nigerian has a fair and reasonable opportunity to be included in the Register of Voters ahead of future electoral activities.
In furtherance of its commitment to innovation, accessibility, and improved service delivery, the Commission is pleased to announce the introduction of a self-service registration option (online) for eligible first-time voters. The new service will become available from Wednesday, 8th July, 2026 through the Commission's dedicated CVR portal - cvr.inecnigeria.org where the step-by-step guide is also provided.
The self-service option will enable eligible citizens to initiate and complete their voter registration process, including biometric capture, using their personal devices without having to physically visit an INEC office. The system incorporates robust identity verification, biometric validation, and backend integrity checks designed to preserve the credibility and accuracy of the National Register of Voters.
The Commission urges all eligible Nigerians who are yet to register to take advantage of this extended window and explore the new voter registration technology option. The Commission remains committed to a credible, inclusive and accessible voter registration process, and to advancing the use of technology to improve citizens' experience in the electoral process.

While some election officials indicated it would not be used, training materials and reports from voters suggested otherwise.
Clear and consistent communication is critical to public confidence in the electoral process.

BVAS worked. Voter turnout was low. But one issue stood out.
Ahead of the Ekiti Governorship Election, Yiaga Africa observed INEC's mock accreditation exercise and found conflicting information regarding the proposed downloadable PVC.
