- Multi-year grant (for up to 5 years) to LWROs in the project’s selected states and networks/movements in Nigeria.
- Tailored capacity building support to the grantees to address institutional and program related gaps.
This call targets actions that supports the achievement of gender equality and women and girls enjoying their rights in selected project states and Nigeria. These include, but are not limited to, actions that address violence against women and girls, women economic justice and empowerment programmes, Women political participation and leadership including policy advocacy and influencing.
