About Us
Who we are
Community for Forensic Awareness (CFA) is a youth led forensic awareness and advocacy community working to see the advancement of forensic science in Nigeria. Through CFA passionate and visionary young leaders voice out and take action to advance forensic science methodologies to tackle the growing insecurity and injustice in communities across Nigeria.
Why CFA
The criminal justice and security challenges faced by Nigeria as a nations has been a major factor in the slow paced movement towards achieving sustainable development in the country. There is need for scientific advancement such as forensic science to build capacity and provide the required efficiency and sophistication which is lacking. But a challenge posed is the lack of awareness of these scientific solutions and advances among stakeholders. Hence, in a quest to address the shallow understanding and slow acceptance of forensics, we take action through awareness activities and advocacy programs to advance the adoption of forensic science in various sectors and communities in Nigeria.
What we do

Advocate for Provisions required to Accommodate Forensics
Implementation of forensic science has to be done right. It's a process. Adequate legislation needs to be in place and necessary funds need to be set aside, among other things, to make forensics work. It's our business to call out for these.
