About Arc-Lights Foundation RDA Centre
ALF RDA serves as the foundation's central think tank, dedicated to generating data-driven insights and championing policy reforms that advance inclusive STEM and robotics education across Nigeria.
Our aim is to deliver actionable, research-backed solutions addressing barriers in education, especially in STEM and robotics, so policymaking and programming are grounded in real-world evidence.
"Where rigorous research meets bold advocacy, and every insight shapes a brighter, more inclusive future for Nigeria's STEM and Robotics education."
What We Do
Our comprehensive approach to advancing STEM education
Research & Analysis
We carry out primary and secondary research through survey collection, field studies, and stakeholder consultations to identify effective interventions and highlight educational inequities.
Policy & Advocacy
Using our evidence, we engage policymakers, ministries, and development partners to push for robotics integration, STEM curricula, public–private partnerships, and financing mechanisms.
Stakeholder Engagement
We convene experts, government officials, NGOs, teachers, and private sector actors through roundtables, webinars, and conferences to build consensus and promote mutual accountability.
Communication & Awareness
We publish reports, articles, op-eds, fact sheets, and case studies to amplify our work, drawing attention to urgent issues in STEM and robotics education and strengthening public discourse.
