Innovate to Solve Society’s Toughest Problems.
Master behavioural insights for building better transparency and accountability initiatives.
The Behavioural Insights Transparency and Accountability (BiNTA) Fellowship is a pioneer and unconventional fellowship designed to strengthen the capacity of anti-corruption change-makers to leverage behavioural insights in disrupting the socially normative status of corruption in Nigeria. BiNTA Fellowship is an initiative of the Behavioural Innovation Lab of Policy Innovation Centre.
We are reshaping Nigeria’s corruption/anti-corruption landscape by building new generations of bold and disruptive transparency and accountability innovators.
Graduate into the Behavioural Insights Network, a community of practice of behavioural insights practitioners who share your passion to solve society’s toughest problems in innovative ways.
We envision an Africa where transparency and accountability are embraced, entrenched, and promoted as the norm in all sectors and spheres of society, leading to accelerated development for the continent.
Welcome to BiNTA Fellowship
Program Details
Overview
A pioneer social and behavioural re-engineering initiative, the one-year fellowship takes participants through a 3-phase process:
- A training on how to harness behavioural science and insights to promote, design and implement transparency, accountability and anti-corruption initiatives. Core training will cover a period of three months, while supplementary learning will continue throughout the fellowship.
- A Co-Creation period where the Fellows will be divided into groups and guided by mentors and experts to carry out a diagnosis and develop anti-corruption initiatives that leverage behaviourial insights. Co-Creation will occur within the first three months of the fellowship.
- An implementation phase during which the Fellows will execute their anti-corruption initiatives, with technical and operational support from the Behavioural Innovation Lab. The implementation will last for a period of six months.
A three-month period of post-implementation will be used to close out on the projects being implemented by the fellows and to prepare for graduation.
Mode of Delivery
Training will be delivered in a blended-learning approach with a combination of physical classes, virtual classes and a Learning Management System (LMS). The first set of physical classes will hold during the first week of the fellowship during which the participants will be inducted and exposed to fundamental topics. Co-creation will also be hybrid, with physical design sessions taking more of the co-creation time.
Thematic Areas of Learning
The dynamic nature of learning in behavioural sciences and anti-corruption calls for consistent updates in thematic focus. However, BiNTA Fellowship generally focuses the training on seven thematic clusters that have been identified as crucial to ensuring robust learning for transforming the corruption/anti-corruption landscape:
Theme 1: The Promise of Behavioural Science
Theme 2: Corruption, Anti-Corruption and Good-Governance
Theme 3: Design Thinking
Theme 4: Strategy
Theme 5: Communication
Theme 6: Testing
Theme 7: Monitoring & Evaluation
The thematic areas cover a variety of topics, each leveraging rich case studies, real life scenarios and group discussions.
