Established in 2006, the Resource Centre for Human Rights & Civic Education (CHRICED) is a civil society organization working to promote human rights and the advancement of democracy. With the previous award, CHRICED, in collaboration with government and civil society partners, raised awareness about the dangers of corruption and how it impeded the delivery of essential social services in Kano, northwest Nigeria, by tracking constituency projects and related activities. With this final award, CHRICED strengthens the skills of activists, community leaders, youth, women, and social influencers to track constituency projects and general governance processes. CHRICED also conducts organizational strengthening activities to enhance institutional resilience towards the sustainability of its mission beyond the lifespan of the On Nigeria program. The project contributes to On Nigeria's goal of reducing corruption and enhancing accountability.

Registered in 2006, the Resource Centre for Human Rights & Civic Education (CHRICED) is a Nigerian not-for-profit organization working to promote human rights, the rule of law, democracy, and accountability. CHRICED already works closely with Original Inhabitants' groups in 17 Chiefdoms in Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory to design, implement, and evaluate project ideas that address issues of concern to the communities through an award for equitable recovery. With this additional award, CHRICED enhances the earlier equitable recovery investment with modern tools and technical assistance for the Original Inhabitant potters at the Ushafa Pottery Centre to reduce labor, reach bigger markets, improve the health and safety conditions for the potters, and lessen the impact on the environment. This award advances gender equity and social inclusion and builds Indigenous people's leadership skills. This award is a part of the Nigeria Country office's strategic intervention to promote social justice in Nigeria.
