Thematic Area: Research and Advocacy
The Consumer Advocacy and Empowerment Foundation (CADEF) empowers consumers and protects their rights through a multi-faceted approach that includes research, advocacy, education, and legal representation.
Our research focuses on areas such as standards of goods and services, fair food prices, the ethical use of AI, deceptive marketing, access to essential services, and the rights of consumers in the digital age and regarding distributed energy resources. By wielding the power of research and advocacy, CADEF aims to strengthen consumer protection laws in Nigeria, raise awareness of consumer rights, and empower consumers to be their advocates. This ultimately works to improve ethical business practices and reduce exploitation and harm faced by consumers.
