We're Nigeria's
independent civic voice.
Implemented by the Africa Youth Growth Foundation (AYGF), INP is a 30-month national campaign to reverse voter apathy and rebuild citizen trust in Nigeria's democracy.
Nigeria's democracy has a participation problem.
Since 1999, voter turnout has declined despite record registration numbers and technological reforms. The 2023 general elections recorded just 26.7% turnout — the lowest in over four decades. INEC's own data confirmed it.
The paradox is striking: registration is high, but actual participation lags. Disinformation, insecurity, weak candidate manifestos, and a deep trust deficit have combined to hollow out civic engagement across Nigeria.
INP's job is to fix that. Systematically. With evidence. Across all 36 states and the FCT.
"Many within this group rarely participate in elections or fulfil their civic responsibilities. INP seeks to transform this outlook by rebuilding trust in the system and encouraging active participation."

What we stand on.
No party money. No partisan brief. No political debt. Our independence isn't a tagline — it's the architecture of everything we do.
Every claim we make is evidence-based. Every position we hold is principled. We don't do vague campaign promises here.
Youth, women, first-time voters, persons with disabilities. INP targets the groups democracy has historically left out — on purpose.
We track everything. Voter turnout. Citizens reached. Accountability dialogues held. Measurable outcomes, not good intentions.
A Nigeria where every citizen participates, every vote counts, and every leader is held to account.
To increase voter participation by at least 15% by the 2027 general elections and embed a lasting culture of civic accountability in Nigeria.
Four things INP is here to do.
Through awareness creation, advocacy, and civic campaigns targeted at voters, candidates, and electoral officials alike.
- Civic education workshops
- Electoral Act advocacy campaigns
- Engagement with INEC and CSOs
Particularly among youth, women, and persons with disabilities — through evidence-based civic education and technology-driven outreach.
- Sensitisation workshops in 9 target states
- Social media and traditional media campaigns
- Community dialogues and town halls
Through sustained dialogue, issue-based advocacy, and engagement before, during, and after elections.
- Stakeholder dialogues with electoral bodies
- Media advocacy across radio, TV, and digital
- Rallies and musical concerts in target states
INP doesn't end on election day. We stay engaged so citizens can track what their leaders actually deliver.
- 100+ post-election accountability dialogues
- Baseline vs endline impact measurement
- Lessons-learned and scale-up planning
