The Problem
Frontline workers across Nigeria log enormous amounts of data every day. It sits in notebooks, spreadsheets, and filing cabinets — never analysed, never acted on.
Officers log crimes in notebooks → Division commanders don't know where crimes are happening → Patrols go to the same streets by habit, not where they're needed.
Teachers mark attendance daily → Principals don't spot dropout patterns early → Students disappear before anyone intervenes.
Health workers record patient visits → The Ministry doesn't know which clinics are overwhelmed → Resources go to the wrong locations.
The gap nobody is filling
No one is building simple, sustainable data tools with government frontline workers for actual daily use.
What We Do
International consultants write 200-page strategy documents that gather dust. Expensive software requires IT support the government doesn't have. Solutions built in boardrooms fail when frontline workers can't use them.
We co-design with the officers, teachers, and health workers who will actually use the tools. We build with what they already know — Excel, Power BI, WhatsApp, Google Sheets. We train government staff to run it themselves after we leave.
Our 9-month model →Officers log incidents in Google Sheets → Power BI shows commanders where crimes are clustering → Patrols redeploy to hotspots within 24 hours.
Officers check in via WhatsApp during patrols → Weekly analysis shows coverage gaps → Commanders adjust routes based on data.
QR code at police station → Citizens report issues via Google Form → Officer responds within 48 hours → Public accountability increases.
Theory of Change
The Problem
Government agencies have data but can't use it
Our Intervention
We build simple tools frontline workers actually use
Behaviour Change
Staff make data-driven decisions daily — smarter patrols, earlier interventions, better resource allocation
Service Delivery Improves
Faster response times, better targeting, more accountability
Poverty Reduces
Safe neighbourhoods → economic activity. Better schools → children gain skills. Reliable health services → families avoid catastrophic costs.
What we work on: Government service delivery systems. · What we measure against: Poverty reduction.
Year 1 Focus · 2026–2027
Our Year 1 focus is building a proof of concept with the Nigerian Police Force — deploying simple data tools in 1–2 divisions, measuring impact, and creating a replicable model for other public institutions.
Better to do one thing excellently than many things poorly. One solid proof of concept creates the evidence and reputation that opens doors for Year 2 and beyond.
