Our research division produces policy briefs, field intelligence, and advocacy tools that connect community realities to government decision-making and international development investment.
At Grace & Grey, we believe that humanitarian action without evidence is charity without accountability. Our research division ensures that every programme we design is grounded in field data, that every investment we make can be justified with evidence, and that our voice in policy conversations is credible, rigorous, and trusted.
We are one of very few Nigerian NGOs to operate a dedicated policy research function — and this is a deliberate competitive advantage. It allows us to speak the language of government ministries, bilateral donors, UN agencies, and academic institutions. It makes us not just a service provider but a thought leader.
Our research is grounded in primary field data collected through our nationwide network. We conduct surveys, key informant interviews, and participatory assessments in the communities we serve — then translate these findings into accessible policy briefs targeted at government decision-makers, donor agencies, and the media.
In 2025, we published three major policy briefs covering food security in conflict-affected zones, education reform in the Almajiri system, and human security in IDP resettlement — all topics of direct relevance to Nigeria's development agenda and international donor priorities.
We welcome collaboration with universities, think tanks, UN agencies, and government research institutions. Our field presence across all 36 states provides unparalleled primary data access. We are open to joint research initiatives, commissioned studies, and data-sharing agreements.
