Who We Are

Basic Rights Watch (BRW) is a Nigeria-based non-governmental organization (NGO) founded in 2016, registered as Public Accountability and Civic Engagement Initiative. We were set-up with the mission to utilise data, technology and creative ideas to simplify and communicate public information to empower marginalized groups and communities. We work to strengthen government institutions and local communities by creating an enabling environment and platforms for citizens and government to engage and dialogue. BRW is committed to using learning and data generated from results based monitoring and evaluation systems to develop effective and sustainable programs that support a community of active citizens. In this way, we support them to effectively use public information and demand accountability for institutional improvement and efficient service delivery. We are currently working in Nigeria.
