Outcome insights and achievements
Outcome progress note for the year
By 2027, the people in Nigeria have access to a more accountable, transparent, gender-responsive, and inclusive governance and justice system for the realization of human rights for all especially the most vulnerable population
During the reporting year, women's rights to gender-responsive and more accountable systems increased. This followed the passage of the Prohibition of Sexual Harassment in Tertiary Institutions Bill by the National Assembly - awaiting assent by the president to become law. State legislators in Kwara and Kaduna adopted the draft GEOB and made commitments to pass it into law. Similarly, the GEOB after numerous efforts passed second reading during the 9th National Assembly in May 2023. Further, following the general elections, 4 women were elected to the Senate out of 109 seats, 17 women were elected to the Federal House of Representatives (HoR) out of 360 seats, and 54 women were elected in the State Houses of Assembly (SHoA) out of 991 seats. The Senate witnessed a decline compared to 8 seats won by women in the 2019 elections, while the HoR and SHoA witnessed a marginal increase from 13 and 44 in the 2019 elections, respectively. Twenty-five (25) women who received support from UN Women were elected to office following the 2023 elections, out of the total of 80 women elected into office. These women benefited from coaching and mentoring sessions on how to run effective political campaigns. Their campaign messages and stories were further amplified by the media, increasing their visibility, and the project further provided a platform for them to engage with community leaders from their constituencies through town hall meetings.
By 2027, the people in Nigeria have access to a more accountable, transparent, gender-responsive, and inclusive governance and justice system for the realization of human rights for all especially the most vulnerable population
Within the framework of key partnerships, UN Women achieved significant progress toward advancing gender-responsive and inclusive governance in Nigeria. Under an MoU with the National Assembly, UN Women provided legal advocacy and technical assistance, resulting in the inclusion of Reserved Seats for women in the Constitutional Amendment Bill 2024, which has passed its second reading in the House of Representatives. Additionally, UN Women supported the drafting of a harmonized Gender and Inclusion Bill. In collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning, UN Women facilitated structured engagements and technical discussions, leading to the reintroduction of gender-responsive budgeting language in the 2024/2025 Budget Call Circular.
