Vacancy for North-East Reform Intern

Overview of PERL-ARC

The Partnership to Engage, Reform and Learn (PERL) is a five-year governance programme financed by the UK Department for International Development (DFID). The programme supports Nigerian governments to strengthen their core business of making, implementing, tracking and accounting for policies, plans and budgets used in delivering public goods and services, to promote growth and reduce poverty. The programme supports citizens to engage with these processes, and for learning and evidence to be better used to inform decision making.  As such, PERL is delivered through three ‘pillars’ which plan and act together: Pillar 1. Accountable, Responsive & Capable Government (ARC); Pillar 2. Engaged Citizens; and Pillar 3. Learning, Evidencing and Advocacy Partnership (LEAP). The programme works at the Federal level, in the focal states of Kano, Kaduna and Jigawa, and through regional learning and reform hubs in the South West, South East and North East areas of Nigeria. 

This intern will support ARC.
