Isaac Oritogun is the Research Lead at the Policy Innovation Centre (PIC), where he leads the design and implementation of research that generates evidence for better policies and innovative solutions. He provides strategic oversight for research and knowledge generation across PIC's thematic areas, ensuring that evidence informs programme design, policy engagement, and behavioural and gender-transformative approaches to addressing complex development challenges. He works closely with government institutions, development partners, academia, and other stakeholders to translate research into actionable insights that drive sustainable and inclusive social change. 

With over 10 years of experience in quantitative and qualitative research, data analytics, and policy-oriented programme implementation, Isaac has led and supported multidisciplinary studies across Nigeria. His expertise spans social norms research, behavioural insights, implementation science, and impact evaluation, with a focus on adolescent health, gender equality, sexual and reproductive health, child protection, governance, economic inclusion, and other social development priorities. Through his work, he has generated evidence that informs policy reforms, strengthens programmes, and supports the design and evaluation of interventions that promote equitable and sustainable development outcomes. 

Isaac holds a bachelor’s degree in Human Anatomy, a Master's degree in Sustainable Development Practice with a specialisation in Social Development and Public Health and is currently pursuing a Master of Public Health (MPH). His multidisciplinary training, combined with extensive field and policy experience, enables him to deliver technically rigorous research that advances PIC's mission of improving policies and programmes through gender-transformative and behavioural approaches.
