Lux Terra Leadership Foundation

Established in 2009, Lux Terra Leadership Foundation (LTLF) is an Indigenous Nigerian nonprofit organization committed to the positive transformation of Nigerian society through research, documentation, training, and advocacy. Under its previous award, LTLF successfully trained 300 religious leaders on strategies for promoting integrity within their various faiths. It also trained 600 student leaders from Islamic and Christian schools on faith and accountability, as well as 270 National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members who were later appointed as Accountability Ambassadors. Under this award, Lux Terra is strengthening and deepening its work to influence behaviors that promote integrity and accountability. It participates in behavior change training and identifies specific behaviors and complementary interventions. With this knowledge and technical assistance, it designs and tests tailored interventions targeting faith-based communities that will inform full implementation at a later date. Award activities include celebrating persons of high integrity, educating and promoting accountability and transparency in religious communities, and establishing the nexus between faith and accountability. Lux Terra is mindful of gender, ethnic, religious, generational, and disability diversities in the implementation of the work. This project is being implemented in collaboration with other Foundation grantees.

This award is a contribution to the Joint Civic Space Defense Fund of the MacArthur Foundation, Ford Foundation, and Open Society Initiative for West Africa, which was established to strengthen civic space in Nigeria.
