Abuja, Nigeria — In a significant step toward accelerating gender equality in Nigeria, UN Women Nigeria, GIZ Nigeria, and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deepen strategic collaboration on advancing women’s rights and empowerment.
The agreement, signed on May 23, 2025, aims to strengthen joint efforts to break long-standing gender barriers and promote inclusive development for women and girls across Nigeria and the West African region.
According to UN Women Nigeria, the partnership underscores a shared commitment to fostering a more equal and just society through initiatives focused on policy advocacy, women’s leadership, economic empowerment, and eliminating gender-based violence.
The Moment for Women Magazine welcomes this renewed collaboration and will continue to monitor its implementation and impact on the lives of grassroots women and girls in Nigeria.
