NADIR empowers a new generation of digital advocates and journalists to drive systemic change from the grassroots to the national level.
The Network of Advocates for Digital Reporting (NADIR) is a media advocacy and development initiative committed to strengthening transparency, digital equity, and accountability through investigative reporting, civic technology, and community engagement. We bridge journalism, technology, and advocacy to spotlight and solve grassroots challenges—especially in governance, service delivery, and digital access.
A digitally informed and empowered society where journalism holds power accountable and drives equitable development.
To promote digital journalism, empower local voices, and foster transparency, accountability, and inclusive access to information and technology.
We collaborate with media houses, civil society groups, government agencies, tech hubs, and donors to deepen impact and scale innovation in media and governance.

We monitor budget processes, track capital projects, and investigate procurement practices in local governments across Nigeria. Our work ensures citizens can follow the money and demand better service delivery at the grassroots.

We promote digital inclusion by advocating for accessible technology, training underserved communities, and supporting women and youth in navigating the digital space safely and productively.
CAJADIS combines storytelling, art, and journalism to fight disinformation. Through community workshops, creative expression, and fact-checking, we equip citizens with the tools to discern truth in the digital age.
We explore the frontiers of digital media—from AI-assisted journalism to data visualization tools—to equip newsrooms and journalists with emerging technologies for impactful storytelling.
CDR is our participatory journalism initiative, training community reporters to document and share local issues in their own voices. The goal is to decentralize news production and bring power closer to the people.
