As part of the DFID-Nigeria ‘Drivers of change’ Initiative, the consultant was requested to ‘provide in depth analysis to inform the Department for International Development (DFID) Nigeria’s Drivers of Change initiative on the role of the ethnicity, language and culture dimension as a barrier to change or driver of change in Nigeria’. Component Three will build on the work undertaken in Component One and ‘will provide detailed, Nigeria-specific information about each driver using a standardized methodological approach. Analysis of each individual driver will form the basis for an analysis of the inter-relationship between each driver resulting in a better understanding of how different processes and forces within Nigeria’s political economy can influence political, economic and social change’. Output 28 is the ‘ethnicity, language and culture dimension’.
