Modernise Nigeria's Community Welfare Associations for the Digital Age
Town unions, community development associations, and welfare groups manage billions of naira collectively. Almost all of them do so with no digital tools, no financial transparency, and no accountability. Design the platform that changes this.
Design the Legal and Regulatory Framework Nigeria's Social Enterprises Need
Nigerian social enterprises operate in a legal vacuum — too commercial for NGO registration, not profit-focused enough for company law. Design the hybrid legal framework that fits them.
Help Nigerian State Governments Double Their Internally Generated Revenue
Most Nigerian states collect less than 30% of their potential IGR. The tax base exists. The collection infrastructure does not. Design the solution that changes this for one state.
Build the Impact Measurement Standard Nigerian Social Enterprises Actually Use
Most Nigerian social enterprises report impact in anecdotes and unverifiable numbers. Donors are sceptical. Enterprises are overwhelmed. Design the lightweight measurement standard that fixes both problems.
Design the Blended Finance Vehicle That Funds Nigerian Social Enterprises at Scale
Nigerian social enterprises generating real impact cannot access commercial capital because their returns are too low for private investors and too commercial for grant-only donors. Design the vehicle that fills this gap.
Reduce Mental Health Stigma in Nigerian Communities at Scale
In Nigeria, mental illness is commonly attributed to spiritual causes or personal weakness. This stigma prevents treatment and destroys lives. Design the de-stigmatisation campaign that actually shifts attitudes.
Design the Workplace Mental Health Programme Nigerian Employers Will Actually Use
Burnout, depression, and anxiety are costing Nigerian companies billions in productivity loss and staff turnover. The standard EAP model does not work here. Design one that does.
Enforce Nigerian Music Copyright in the Age of AI-Generated Content
AI tools are now generating music that sounds like specific Nigerian artists. Existing copyright enforcement has no answer for this. Design the system that protects artist rights in the AI era.
Bring Nigerian Community Radio Into the Digital Age
Over 100 Nigerian community radio stations serve audiences that no other medium reaches. Most of them broadcast on ancient equipment, have no online presence, and earn almost no advertising revenue. Design the digital upgrade model that saves them.
Embed Mental Health Support in Nigerian Secondary Schools
Nigerian secondary school students experience significant mental health pressure — WAEC anxiety, family expectations, economic stress — with almost no support available in schools. Design the embedded support model.
Build the Monetisation Infrastructure for Independent Nigerian Content Creators
Nigeria has millions of content creators on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Most earn nothing. The tools to monetise an audience in naira — without a foreign bank account — do not exist. Design them.
Design Trauma Support for Nigerians Affected by Insurgency and Communal Conflict
Millions of Nigerians in the North-East, North-West, and Middle Belt are living with unprocessed trauma from years of violence. Professional mental health support has barely penetrated these areas. Design the culturally grounded response.
