Wall sylvincer, abujja
The United Nation’s Children Fund (UNICEF), along with 19 leading Universities, the Federal Ministry of Health and the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation, has launched the Behavioural Insights Research and Design Lab, BIRDLab, the first of its kind in Nigeria, to apply Behavioural Science to child survival and development.
The initiative builds on UNICEF’s partnership with academia through the Network for Behavioural Research on Child Survival in Nigeria, NETBRECSIN, which includes Community Medicine, Communication Studies, Sociology, Human Nutrition, Anthropology, and Clinical Psychology.
BIRDLab is a partnership between UNICEF, the Federal Government of Nigeria, and participating universities.
It will produce practical and evidence for federal and state programmes, including routine immunization, nutrition services, and back to school efforts.
Findings will be turned into simple tools, policy notes, and guidance that government teams can use at scale.
