“What the findings show is that no state is currently operating at an excellent democratic standard.”

Speaking on @NewsCentralTV, KDI's Team Lead Bukola Idowu, broke down what the State of Democratic Performance in Nigeria 2025 Report reveals; highlighting the different democratic realities across states and why citizens need to engage government with data like the State of Democracy Report.

The report allows citizens to examine state performance dimension by dimension, identify governance gaps, and ask harder questions around electoral participation, accountability, representation, and institutional performance.

If democracy is to improve, citizens must know what the gaps are, where they are, and how to address them.

Democracy cannot be measured by structures alone, it must be assessed by how it works in practice.

Tomorrow, Kimpact Development Initiative (KDI) will launch the State of Democracy Performance in Nigeria Report, a data-driven assessment of how democracy is functioning across all 36 states.

This report goes beyond theory, examining electoral participation, inclusion, transparency, rule of law, and civic space through both institutional data and lived citizen experience. More than a publication, it introduces a tool for tracking progress, identifying gaps, and strengthening accountability at the level closest to citizens.

The conversation on democracy must evolve, and this is a step in that direction.

#StrengtheningDemocracy

[Kimpact Development Initiative @Kimpact_Global]

Democracy does not sustain itself, it requires data, oversight, and an active civic space.

At Kimpact Development Initiative (KDI), our work spans Policy Advocacy, Elections, and Citizen Participation, supported by civic-tech platforms like Polimoney, Naija Elections, and the Election Petition Tribunal (EPT) Dashboard. We also continue to expand our work through key initiatives such as the Voter Education Manual and its youth-friendly version, as well as the Civic and Voter Education CDS developed in partnership with NYSC and INEC. Through publications like Beyond the Figures, Beyond the Protests, and others, we translate complex democratic issues into accessible, data-backed insights.

If you care about electoral integrity, political finance transparency, the civic space, and governance reform in Nigeria, this is your ecosystem.

Follow us and stay connected to a credible, data-driven ecosystem shaping democratic accountability.

Building stronger foundations for voter education and civic engagement

Over two impactful days in Abuja on the 25th and 26th of March 2026, KDI convened stakeholders from (INEC) and Voter Education and Publicity (VEP) Heads of Department across the 36 states and FCT, came together to strengthen communication strategies, deepen youth engagement, and drive effective implementation of the Civic and Voter Education framework.

From strategic communication to actionable state-level workplans, this training marks a critical step toward more informed, active, and empowered citizens.

Have you actually seen or read the new voter education manuals?

INEC and NOA with the support of Kimpact Development Initiative (KDI) and FCDO, just launched two really helpful guides that break down elections in a way that actually makes sense.

If you care about getting it right as a voter, this is worth your time.

Access both the National Voter Education Manual, and the Youth Friendly Version here: https://t.co/gCZNgWCYfQ

Read, learn and share.

[Kimpact Development Initiative @Kimpact_Global]

Ahead of the 2027 Election , Kimpact Development Initiative in partnership with Independent National Commission (INEC) and National Orientation Agency (NOA) formally launched an updated National Voter Education Manual and a Civic/ Voter Education Manual (Youth-friendly) on the 25th March 2026.
This manual, developed with strategic input from KDI is designed to strengthen Nigeria's democracy through inclusive and accessible voter education.

We are moving from conversations to commitment. By engaging our youth who represent a large population of the electorate in the democratic process of the country with data and knowledge, we are building a preventive architecture for Electoral Integrity.

#CivicParticipation

[Kimpact Development Initiative @Kimpact_Global]

Earlier today, the conversations were meaningful and the commitment to strengthening voter education was clear.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at moments from the National Launch of the Voter Education Manual, where stakeholders from electoral institutions, development partners, civil society and citizens came together to advance democratic participation through informed civic engagement.

This was a necessary step toward building a more informed electorate and strengthening the foundation of Nigeria’s democracy.

#VoterEducation #StrengtheningDemocracy

[Kimpact Development Initiative @Kimpact_Global]

Across Nigeria, democracy is shaped not just by institutions, but by citizens who continue to speak, act, and demand accountability with their voices. Voices that question, voices that demand better, voices that refuse to be ignored.

Our voices together are a force for transparency, for justice, and for a stronger democracy. This April, something big is coming, get ready!

#BuildingResilientSpaces #StrengtheningDemocracy

[Kimpact Development Initiative @Kimpact_Global]

Your vote is your voice.

The Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise is ongoing, and this is your opportunity to be part of the democratic process. If you are 18 years and above or need to transfer or update your voter information, now is the right time to act.

Remember: No PVC, no vote, and no vote, no voice.

Registration ends: April 17, 2026
