About NEDIS


NEDIS serves as a platform to strengthen the design, implementation and scaling up of education innovations in Nigeria. The summit, now in its 4th year, has become a key event in the nation’s education event calendar, convening stakeholders from government, research and academia, the development and other funding organisations, corporations, civil society organisations and a broad range of education innovators for two days of rich discourse, knowledge sharing, learning, capacity development and networking.

Since its debut in 2015, NEDIS has explored new, exciting and sustainable approaches for increasing access to quality education, especially for the marginalized and underserved. Discussions at the summit undersore the importance of identifying and systematically scaling innovations such that they become more deeply embedded in policy systems and reach more beneficiaries nationwide.
