About Us

IAP works to strengthen democratic structures impacting on corruption and governance and conducts relevant studies and surveys, including devising useful tools which are fed into its campaigns and advocacy programme. IAP brings individuals, groups and organisations together within and outside Nigeria, building partnerships and sharing information on ways to promote participation, accountability and effectiveness at all levels. The organisation works through programme staff with the support of a programme support team.

The organisation operates at the federal, state and local government levels - where individuals and groups have the opportunity to contribute to the decision making process, thereby contributing to efforts aimed at eliminating or reducing corruption and opaqueness. The organisation actualises its mission through research and surveys into issues germane to democracy, development and good governance in Nigeria, publication and dissemination of governance-related information and employing the findings of such studies as advocacy tools. IAP works with and through partners to strengthen the capacity of individuals and organisations whose activities impact on good governance. IAP promotes the use of both international instruments (such as the United Nations and African Union anti corruption conventions) and domestic legal and administrative standards.
