Csacefa Pacesetter CSACEFA Oyo State Chapter aims at advancing Public Education through Policy Advocacy, Civic Engagement, Research, Awareness Creation and M & E

CSACEFA is a National Coalition of Civil Society Organization (CSOs) working on Education issues in Nigeria. Forty (40) Education NGOs who came together in the run-up to the year 2000 World Education Summit in Dakar, Senegal formed the coalition. CSACEFA developed a core set of positions and attended the Dakar World Summit to join in the call for quality education for all. The Coalition has since

expanded its membership to over Six hundred (600) CSOs covering 36 States of Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and has been engaging, advocating and inputting to education policies and programmes at Local, National and International levels. Some credible Education NGOs in Oyo State were part of the initial Forty (40) foundation members of the Coalition. Therefore, the Oyo State Chapter of the Coalition was established shortly after the formation of the National body. Member Organisations of the Oyo State Chapter meet regularly every last Thursday of the month at Kola Daisi Foundation Youth Empowerment Centre (KDFYEC) located inside the premises of Ibadan Civic Centre, Idi-Ape, Ibadan.
