What partners and participants say about working with RES.

  • “Asides being engaged as panel discussant in a webinar titled, ‘Count Her in: Centering Women in Policy-Oriented Research in Africa’, I was engaged as an early career researcher to conduct a partnership review. It was my first time of participating is such exercise. It offered me the opportunity to learn the processes and methodology for conducting institutional partnership review under the guidance of an experienced research expert. Now, I can conveniently declare my ability to conduct partnership review and associated assignments.”

  • “There are three sets of people or groups in every society: the seer, talker and doer. The seer always aspire to see what the doer does while the talker talks about the actions of the doer. The doer are the set of people who make things happen within the society. I am glad to say that Research Enterprise Systems (RES) is among the ‘Doers’ in our society. It gives priority to the inclusion of the disability community in it programs. This is a gesture that other organizations should emulate in the quest to improve the society. To say Research Enterprise Systems (RES) is the best disability inclusive and research oriented non-governmental organization in Nigeria is an understatement.”
