Advancing Evidence-Based Policy and Sustainable Development

Research. Policy. Development. Impact.

The Centre for Public Policy and Development Research (CPPDR) at the University of Delta, Agbor, is established as an interdisciplinary hub for research, policy analysis, innovation and development solutions.

The Centre focuses on generating evidence and knowledge that can inform public policy, strengthen governance and contribute to sustainable development, with particular attention to Delta State, the Niger Delta region, Nigeria and the wider African region.

Through research, policy engagement, data analysis, capacity development and strategic partnerships, the Centre seeks to connect academic knowledge with real-world development challenges and practical solutions.
