"Turning complex economic data into clarity that moves policy and people."
Who I Am
"A world where economic research drives genuine, lasting change — that is what I work toward."
Favour Chidebere is a Research and Communication Analyst at the Centre for the Study of the Economies of Africa (CSEA) — a leading independent think tank in Abuja, founded by Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. She specialises in translating rigorous economic evidence into compelling narratives that inform policy and engage diverse audiences.
A graduate in Economics from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Favour brings together quantitative research skills, data science capabilities, and a rare talent for policy communication. At CSEA, she contributes to evidence-based research across macroeconomic management, public financial governance, trade, and development — producing analyses that reach governments, civil society, and international organisations.
Her work sits at the intersection of data and discourse: building econometric models, synthesising policy briefs, and communicating findings through writing, video, and public events. A multiple award-winning communicator, Favour is committed to the idea that excellent research only achieves its potential when it is clearly, accessibly told.
