We operate at the intersection of policy, practice, and partnership
Our approach is grounded in several core principles:
Evidence-Based Analysis
We conduct rigorous research and analysis on issues critical to US-Nigeria relations, providing policymakers, business leaders, and civil society with the insights needed to make informed decisions.
Multi-Stakeholder Engagement
We convene diverse voices from government, business, academia, civil society, and diaspora communities to foster dialogue, build consensus, and develop collaborative solutions.
Strategic Convening
Through forums, roundtables, and working groups, we create spaces for substantive discussion on key bilateral issues—from trade and investment to security cooperation and democratic governance.
Long-Term Partnership
We invest in building enduring relationships and institutional connections that transcend political cycles and create lasting impact.
Principled Approach
Our work is guided by unwavering commitment to democratic values, transparency, integrity, and respect for the sovereignty and dignity of both nations.
Nonpartisan Stance
We maintain strict political independence, working across party lines in both nations to advance shared interests and democratic values.
Our Core Values
These principles guide every decision we make and every initiative we undertake.
Truth
We are committed to honesty, transparency, and evidence-based analysis in all our work. Our research and advocacy are grounded in facts, not ideology.
Partnership
We believe in collaborative engagement that respects the sovereignty, culture, and perspectives of both nations. True partnership means mutual benefit and shared responsibility.
Democracy
We champion democratic governance, human rights, rule of law, and inclusive participation. Strong democracies create stable, prosperous societies.
Integrity
We maintain the highest ethical standards in our operations, finances, and relationships. We are nonpartisan, independent, and accountable to our stakeholders.
