The Africa Policy Research Institute (APRI) has announced the upcoming launch of the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance (BOGA) Fund Programme in Nigeria, a two year initiative supporting Nigeria’s economic diversification beyond oil and gas within the context of evolving global energy transition dynamics.
The programme, titled Nigeria’s Economic Diversification Within the Global Energy Transition, will be led by the National Council on Climate Change (NCCC) on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria and implemented by APRI.
In the announcement, organisers stated, “we are pleased to announce the upcoming launch of the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance (BOGA) Fund Programme in Nigeria,” describing it as a policy focused intervention for economic diversification.
The programme is designed to strengthen evidence based policymaking, enable coordinated policy dialogue, and translate analysis into actionable recommendations aligned with Nigeria’s climate and development priorities, including its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).
The official launch is scheduled for Thursday, 12 February 2026, by 9:00am in Abuja, Nigeria.
APRI is an independent and nonpartisan Africa think tank with offices in Berlin, Germany and Abuja, Nigeria, conducting research on key policy issues affecting African countries and the African continent.
The institute aims to provide insights to policy making processes on Africa and develop policy options for African policymakers and civil society actors.
With strong institutional African partnerships, APRI links rigorous evidence based research to policy and practice, amplifies existing work, and co creates new initiatives.
As a public facing institute, APRI offers a platform where policymakers, businesses, media, civil society organisations, and research communities from Africa and Europe engage on shared policy priorities.
The programme reflects growing efforts to align national policy planning with climate responsive economic strategies nationwide.
