Networking and alliance building

The objective of the Networking and Alliance Building strategy is to build a movement of women equipped with the necessary skills and competence to work in harmony to defend their rights, execute their responsibilities and strengthen our discourse and participation in the social, political and economic spheres while amplifying the voices of women within communities for participation and inclusion. We also work on building strategic partnerships with other likeminded stakeholders to achieve this.

PROJECTS DELIVERED UNDER THE NETWORKING AND ALLIANCE BUILDING PILLAR

Ni Mama Convention

The Ni Mama campaign was aimed at building a capital around the numerical strength of the women’s constituency and to consolidate them into a political capital to propel women into elective and appointive positions. Ni Mama was a nationwide movement bringing together women to claim leadership positions so that they can transform the country. The movement mobilised and united women across the socio-economic and political sectors to provide a platform for visionary female leadership and solutions to challenges of the implementation of the two thirds gender principle.
