Behaviour Change Knowledge Centre
The Behaviour Change Knowledge Centre
The Behaviour Change Knowledge Centre is a virtual platform on which the body of knowledge on behaviour change for corruption control, including explainers, working papers, newsletters, video skits and blog posts, is curated. These are products from research and reviews by NISER authors, implemented through a MacArthur Foundation Grant Project.
The knowledge content of the BCKC is rooted in interdisciplinary collaborations from the fields of public policy, political science, law, human geography, economics, technology management, statistics, and psychology.
Training modules on Behavior Change Research and Behavioural Change Intervention Design are currently being developed based on the content of our knowledge products. These will be designed as short-term courses for different target audience groups including the public sector, academia, the research community, civil society groups and the private sector.

Research Reports and Working Papers
Research Support for Corruption Control
This report curates the conceptualization, methodology and findings of the primary survey upon which the study is based, to understand the psycho-social elements that factor into corrupt behaviour in charting the way forward towards corruption control through behaviour change.
Training Manual: Organizational Behaviour
A training manual on Organizational Behaviour was compiled by the project team, to aid the understand ing of individual behaviour in organization settings; group and group dynamics in organizational contexts,
organizational structure and culture, leadership styles, rewards, and sanctions in
driving organizational change.
Lived Experiences of Corruption: The Plebeians’ Perspective
A nationwide survey was conducted in 2022, with the use of the SenseMaker® methodology, across selected states in the six geo-political zones and the Federal Capital Territory. This nationwide survey is the first step in developing a behavioural change approach for corruption control in Nigeria, to understand the underlying concepts, dimensions, and motivations for corrupt behaviour, in order to provide the appropriate behavioural solutions. A summary of the study and findings are contained in this paper.
