This second phase is expanded to include women's networks as potential subgrantees and their expertise and relationships will be leveraged to enhance the relationship-building and networking components of the project.
    • This project will also support the WROs' response to their self-identified needs and barriers of WROs and women's networks by applying a rights-based, gender transformative approach, and feminist accompaniment lens, to catalyze change and enable them to incrementally independently lead work based on their own priorities, promote gender-transformative peace and security, respond to the needs rights of women, girls and other marginalized groups, including by strengthening their organizational capacities and creating convening and peer learning spaces to strengthen their movements and networks.
    • Women for Women International Nigeria as a project implementation co-lead for this grant with WILPF-Nigeria, is working across the three outputs to support women's rights organizations in Nigeria to increase their independent role in leading programming and advocacy on peacebuilding, gender equality, women's empowerment, and participation, GBV prevention and response.
