Briefs
Real briefs. Real problems. Real work.
Organisations and individuals bring real problems to ATTP and ask for young African perspectives. Pick a brief, do the work, document your thinking, and submit. No experience required. Open to ages 13 to 35.
Build a Water Vendor Pricing Tracker for Urban Lagos
Map and analyse the informal water market in a Lagos neighbourhood to expose pricing inequities and build a tool or report that residents and advocates can actually use.
Design a Safe Water Protocol for Northern Nigerian Boarding Schools
Create a practical water safety protocol for a boarding secondary school in the North-West or North-East geopolitical zones, where WASH infrastructure is weak and students bear the highest health risk.
Pitch a Greywater Reuse System for a Lagos Compound House
Develop a business case and simple design concept for a greywater recycling system suited to the shared compound housing common in Lagos and other dense West African cities.
Write the Policy Brief That Gets Abuja to Fix Its Standpipe Data
Produce a policy brief arguing for a specific, actionable change to how the FCT Water Board collects and publishes data on public standpipes and water kiosks in Abuja's satellite towns.
Design a Community Savings Model That Keeps Youth Sports Clubs Alive in Secondary Cities
Create a financial sustainability model for grassroots youth sports clubs in Nigerian secondary cities like Aba, Ilorin, or Kano, where clubs regularly fold due to loss of a single patron. This brief asks you to design the funding architecture, not just the fundraising idea.
Create a Youth-Led Violence Interruption Programme for a Lagos Neighbourhood
Design a community-based violence interruption programme led by young people in a high-tension Lagos neighbourhood, drawing on documented models from cities like Chicago and Nairobi and adapting them to the specific dynamics of Nigerian urban youth conflict.
Build a Community Safety Alert System for Lagos Neighbourhoods
Design a low-tech, accessible alert system that helps residents of dense Lagos communities like Mushin or Ajegunle share real-time safety information. Most existing apps assume smartphone ownership and reliable data, which excludes the people most at risk.
Build a Pitch Deck for a Proptech Startup Solving Estate Agent Fraud in Nigeria
Create a investor-ready pitch deck for a startup that solves the specific problem of fraudulent or unaccountable property agents in Nigeria's residential rental market. The deck must be grounded in a real business model, not a concept.
Map the Informal Property Market in a Secondary Nigerian City
Produce a data-driven map and analysis of how property is bought, rented, and valued in a secondary Nigerian city where no formal platform has meaningful coverage. This research brief asks you to make the invisible visible.
Write the Business Model for Affordable Co-Living in Lagos Mainland
Design a financially viable co-living model for young professionals aged 22 to 30 who are priced out of self-contained flats on Lagos Island but cannot afford the commute cost of moving further afield. The model must work at the income levels that actually exist in this demographic.
Design a Land Title Verification Tool for First-Time Buyers in Abuja
Build a prototype tool that helps first-time property buyers in Abuja verify land titles and spot fraud before they hand over money. Land fraud costs Nigerians billions of naira every year, and most victims had no simple way to check.
Redesign the NYSC Mobilisation Letter for First-Generation Corps Members
Participants will audit the NYSC call-up and mobilisation communications through a service design lens and produce a redesigned information pack that reduces the anxiety and confusion first-generation graduates face.
