Dialogue & advocacy: ENABLE (2009-2012)

ENABLE aimed to support business associations in NIgeria to engage in dialogue and advocacy so that they could seek to influence reforms of public policy and improvements in the enabling environment as well as supporting researh institutions and government departments and agencies. It was managed by ASI. I undertook several assignments, including:

• Writing an awareness raising booklet for the first step of the five step approach to advocacy, identifying issues, and subsequently facilitating a series of training programmes
• Writing an awareness raising booklet on the fifth step of the five step approach, monitoring and follow up
• Working with the Nigerian Employers' Consultative Association (NECA) and with the Organised Private Sector (OPS), which comprises five of the key business associations, to promote collaboration in dialogue and advocacy

Supporting ENABLE in the preparation and undertaking of Business Leaders' Perception surveys in 2009 and 2010 intended to indicate the business environment factors causing particular problems for business
