Our Story

In 2015, deep in the heart of Nigeria, a quiet revolution began—not in the streets or on screens, but at a desk, with a simple conviction: that solid, evidence-based research could shape better decisions, and ultimately, better societies.

"We weren’t just curious—we were determined to prove that research could be more than academic. It could be a tool for real reform." — RRPA Founder

Out of that conviction, RAMHAAZ RESEARCH AND POLICY ANALYSIS (RRPA) was born. With a passion for empirical research and a commitment to driving policy reform, RRPA began as a one-person initiative—dedicated to turning numbers into narratives, and data into decisions that matter.

From those humble beginnings, the work spoke for itself. By producing rigorous, data-driven research and engaging directly with pressing national issues, RRPA quickly began to influence conversations at local and global levels. Policymakers, educators, business leaders, and nonprofit changemakers started to take notice—not just in Nigeria, but across over ten countries.

"We made research relatable. We didn’t just deliver data—we delivered direction." — Senior Researcher, RRPA What started with one passionate researcher has grown into a vibrant, interdisciplinary team of over ten professionals from sectors including law, banking, academia, and development. Together, they’ve served more than 150 clients, producing groundbreaking studies, policy briefs, and training programs that have informed decisions at all levels.

"At RRPA, we see policy not as paperwork—but as a pathway. We use evidence to build that path." — Policy Consultant, RRPA

Today, RRPA is a trusted partner in empirical research and actionable policy reform, offering clients—from government agencies to private institutions—solutions that are not just smart, but sustainable.

"Data is our starting point. Transformation is our goal."

And though we’ve come far, our mission remains rooted in that original fire—to make research matter, and to reform systems with insight, integrity, and impact.

"We’re not just analyzing policy. We’re helping to rewrite it—with evidence, empathy, and excellence." This is the story of RRPA. And it’s just getting started.
