Oluwabusola is a Research Assistant at the Policy Unit of the Policy Innovation Centre (PIC), where she contributes to cutting-edge research on policy formulation and implementation. Her work spans digital inclusion, the integration of digital public infrastructure (DPI) as used cases for policy tests, social and gender norms research, an emerging area focused on understanding the social, gender, and faith factors influencing health outcomes. She also supports large-scale projects like a national survey exploring gender norms influencing adolescent health and well-being in Nigeria across child, early, and forced marriage (CEFM), sexual and reproductive health (SRH), gender-based violence (GBV), human papillomavirus (HPV), and women’s economic empowerment (WEE) priority areas.
Before joining PIC, Oluwabusola worked with the Society for Family Health, where she contributed to expanding access to family planning services through community mobilization and private-sector partnerships. Notably, she played an active role in a large-scale project promoting the hormonal intrauterine device (IUD), which reached over 80,000 women across 11 Nigerian states. Her efforts contributed to providing free access to family planning services for 399 eligible women through partner providers, enabling them to make informed decisions about their reproductive health.
Beyond her professional work, Oluwabusola is passionate about driving social impact works aligned with SDGs 1, 3, 4, and 5. She actively volunteers with initiatives addressing poverty, health, education, and gender equality while also sharing her thoughts through writing and speaking.
