A Multi-Stakeholder Civic Dialogue by CMRI
The Nasarawa Citizens Future Dialogue (NCFD 2026) is a high-impact civic engagement platform that brings citizens and key stakeholders together to discuss the realities, challenges, opportunities and aspirations shaping the future of Nasarawa State.
It creates a structured space for young people, civil society organisations, women, entrepreneurs, community leaders, professionals, policymakers, researchers and the media to exchange perspectives and explore practical solutions.
Five tracks shape the Dialogue.
Employment, cost of living, entrepreneurship, agriculture, markets, finance and youth livelihoods.
Citizen expectations, accountability, public services and community participation.
Skills, education, leadership, employment, innovation and youth opportunities.
Community priorities, inclusion, peaceful coexistence and local development.
Participants propose practical solutions and development priorities.
Nasarawa is experiencing changing economic, social and demographic realities. Young people are seeking education, skills, employment and opportunities. Businesses and farmers are navigating changing markets, and communities are responding to development, social and livelihood challenges. NCFD brings these experiences together.
Custom partnership arrangements are also welcome.
Launch NCFD and document the priorities of Nasarawa citizens.
Expand community participation, research and stakeholder engagement.
Strengthen partnerships with civil society, business, academia and development organisations.
Expand community dialogues and citizen engagement across the state.
Establish NCFD as a recurring civic platform for continuous dialogue and documentation.
Beyond Nasarawa: the NCFD model is designed to be adaptable to other states and regions. Lessons from Nasarawa can feed a broader network of Citizens Future Dialogues across Nigeria, with the long-term possibility of a national citizen dialogue platform.
