As part of PARIS21's work to strengthen evidence-based decision making by opening spaces for collaboration between the national statistical offices and parliamentary staff, this workshop was organised to support collaboration in Nigeria.
βThe session focused on the safety net section of the Nigeria Living standard Survey and data from the Health Facility survey. The engagement focused on strengthening the skills needed to use data systematically in parliamentary work, from representation and legislation to oversight. Building on an initial training held in January 2026, participants explored how evidence can inform policy questions, how official data can support legislative processes, and how data visualisation and policy briefs can make evidence more accessible and actionable.
