About Us
Who We are
The Progressive Institute (TPI), as the official think tank of the APC, has developed this comprehensive strategic plan for 2025-2029 to guide its activities and objectives. Our mission is to empower political leadership, strengthen governance frameworks, and ensure the alignment of APC’s values with national aspirations.
This page details six thematic pillars: Leadership and Governance, Political Party Management, Public Policy and Democracy, Collaboration and Partnerships, Research and Knowledge Management, and Progressive Ideology. Each pillar is supported by specific programs, targeted participants, and implementation timelines.
The pillar on Leadership and Governance focuses on equipping public officials with the skills to deliver ethical and efficient governance, while Political Party Management seeks to professionalize party operations and strengthen inter-party relations. The Public Policy and Democracy pillar emphasizes the importance of evidence-based policymaking and inclusivity in governance. Collaboration and Partnerships aims to foster meaningful alliances with local and international stakeholders, and Research and Knowledge Management underscores the necessity of data-driven insights to inform decision-making processes. Lastly, the Progressive Ideology pillar serves to define and propagate the core principles that distinguish APC’s vision for Nigeria.
TPI aims to achieve these objectives through tailored training programs, rigorous research initiatives, and inclusive policy frameworks. Each thematic pillar has been designed to address critical challenges in governance and party management while fostering sustainable development and progress. The Leadership and Governance pillar, for instance, emphasizes strategic retreats and mentorship programs, equipping officials with modern governance tools. The Political Party Management theme focuses on strengthening intra-party relationships and promoting financial accountability.
In the area of Public Policy and Democracy, TPI is committed to facilitating workshops that enhance understanding of electoral processes and improve public engagement with democratic institutions. Collaboration and Partnerships aim to create synergies with both local and international entities, ensuring that APC-led initiatives benefit from diverse expertise and support. By emphasizing datadriven approaches in the Research and Knowledge Management pillar, TPI ensures that policy decisions are informed by empirical evidence. Lastly, the Progressive Ideology pillar is dedicated to preserving and propagating the unique values that define the APC, fostering a shared vision for Nigeria’s future.
Through this plan, TPI aspires to consolidate its role as a hub for intellectual excellence and a catalyst for transformative governance in Nigeria. By leveraging the strengths of its thematic pillars, TPI will create a comprehensive framework to advance the APC’s mission and objectives. We invite all stakeholders, including party members, policymakers, civil society, and international partners, to collaborate in realizing these ambitions.
