REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
ISSUE DATE: 21ST NOVEMBER 2025 CLOSING DATE: 12TH DECEMBER 2025
REFERENCE NUMBER: RFP 0124-01
PURPOSE: RESEARCHERS FOR CITIZEN MOBILISATION AS AN ALTERNATIVE PRESSURE MECHANISM IN POLITICAL ACTION

A. BACKGROUND:
Despite over two decades of democratic governance, Nigeria continues to experience limited and inconsistent citizen participation in political and governance processes. While periodic elections provide a formal avenue for engagement, citizens’ influence on governance and government policy decisions between electoral cycles remains weak. Traditional mobilisation channels – such as civic education, advocacy campaigns, and civil society engagement – often fail to translate into sustained political pressure or accountability.

Recent social movements, online campaigns, and grassroots initiatives have demonstrated that alternative forms of mobilisation and citizen-led pressure can drive policy shifts, influence public discourse, and hold political leaders accountable. However, there remains limited systematic research on how these mechanisms work, their sustainability, and how they can be institutionalised within Nigeria’s socio-political context.

To address this gap, The Kukah Centre seeks qualified researchers, research institutions, or consortia to conduct a comprehensive study on “Citizens’ Mobilisation as an Alternative Pressure Mechanism for Political Action in Nigeria.

B. RESEARCH FOCUS:
This study aims to provide insights into the dynamics of citizen mobilisation and alternative pressure mechanisms in Nigeria, exploring how such alternative pressure mechanisms can be better understood, systematised, and scaled to strengthen Nigeria’s democratic culture, ultimately enhancing democratic governance and development.

Overall Objectives
To explore how Nigerian citizens can be mobilised for robust political engagement and participation through alternative and sustainable pressure mechanisms.

Specific Objectives
The study seeks to:
i. Analyse the current state of political participation and civic engagement in Nigeria, including existing strategies and mechanisms for citizen mobilisation and their impact on political decision-making.
ii. Examine the impact of socio-political contexts on the effectiveness of different pressure mechanisms in Nigeria and identify necessary adaptations for success.
iii. Develop a framework for understanding successful citizen-led political pressure campaigns in Nigeria, including the role of digital and social media platforms.
iv. Identify institutional and systemic barriers to sustained political pressure and citizen mobilisation in Nigeria and explore potential solutions or reforms.
v. Recommend context-specific and sustainable strategies for enhancing civic pressure on Nigeria’s political elite, with a focus on inclusivity and long-term engagement, and explore the roles of grassroots movements, civil society organisations, and state institutions in establishing and maintaining sustainable citizen mobilisation networks.

Scope of Work and Deliverables
The selected research partner will be expected to:
• Conduct a desk review of existing literature on citizen mobilisation, political participation, and civic pressure mechanisms in Nigeria and comparable democracies.
• Grounded the study in theoretical frameworks that examine the dynamics of citizen mobilisation in Nigeria
• Undertake primary data collection through interviews, focus group discussions, and case studies of citizen-led campaigns, civil society movements, and advocacy networks.
• Analyse how contextual factors—political culture, digital engagement, gender, class, religion, and geography—influence mobilisation dynamics.
• Map key actors and initiatives involved in citizen mobilisation and civic pressure in Nigeria.
• Propose actionable recommendations and frameworks for sustainable, inclusive citizen engagement.
• Present draft findings to stakeholders in a validation workshop.
• Submit a comprehensive final report and policy brief.

Methodology
Proposals should outline a clear theoretical framework that integrates:
• Qualitative and quantitative approaches;
• Participatory and context-sensitive research tools;
• Inclusion of marginalised voices (women, youth, persons with disabilities, and rural citizens);
• Ethical considerations in data collection and analysis.

By combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, the research will capture both broad trends in citizen mobilisation and the deeper dynamics of lived experiences across Nigeria’s geopolitical zones.

C. KEY DELIVERABLES & TIMEFRAME:
1. Inception Report (including literature review and sampling plan) – Month 1
2. Completion of fieldwork and preliminary analysis – Month 2
3. Position Paper (emerging trends and findings) – Month 3
4. Draft Report and Presentation Meeting – Month 4
5. Final Report (incorporating feedback from stakeholders and peer review) and Policy Brief (4–6 pages summarising findings and recommendations) – Month 6
6. Presentation Slide Deck (for dissemination and stakeholder engagement)

The successful applicant is expected to be engaged for a maximum period of 6 months, from December 2025–May 2026, with the report due on or before the 31st May 2026. This may be reviewed at the purview of The Kukah Centre.

D. ELIGIBILITY & QUALIFICATIONS:
Eligible applicants may include independent researchers, academic institutions, research consortia, or think tanks with demonstrable experience in:
• Governance, democracy, and citizen engagement research;
• Political economy or social movement analysis;
• Mixed-methods research and participatory methodologies;
• Policy-oriented research and dissemination.

Applicants must demonstrate:
• Proven track record of similar assignments in Nigeria or comparable contexts;
• Capacity to deliver within timelines;

• Identify technological, financial, social, and infrastructural barriers to electrification.
• Assess energy demand profiles (household, commercial, public services).
• Explore and identify viable power generation options including gas turbines, water turbines powered by ocean currents, grid extension, solar mini-grids, and standalone solar home systems.
• Assess energy needs and existing infrastructure in the KEFFESO communities.
• Develop sustainable, cost-effective power solutions suitable for the region’s geography and socio-economic context.
• Assess community members’ willingness-to-pay (WTP) for access to power (i.e. affordability).
• Foster community engagement and build capacity for maintenance and management
• Provide actionable recommendations for medium, and long-term interventions
