From refugee settlements in Cross River to informal settlements in Lagos and conflict-affected communities in Borno — programmes designed with the people they serve.
Climate change does not distribute its damage evenly. It falls hardest on people with the fewest resources to absorb it — and on women most of all. We work to build climate resilience and ensure that adaptation efforts are inclusive and just, amplifying the leadership and voice of the groups most affected so their perspectives shape collective solutions.
We respond to crisis and fragility with practical, rights-based solutions — integrating gender responsiveness into humanitarian action to protect women and girls and address the risks of gender-based violence that rise sharply in emergencies.
Digital exclusion is a rights issue. We advocate for digital inclusion and the responsible use of technology, working to close gender gaps in digital access while protecting women and girls from online harassment, exploitation and technology-facilitated gender-based violence.
Social protection is what stands between a shock and a catastrophe. We work to ensure vulnerable populations can access both social protection systems and the livelihood opportunities that build lasting resilience.
Rapid urbanisation creates opportunity and risk in equal measure. We work to build urban resilience and ensure that informal workers — who keep cities functioning — have access to protection and opportunity.
Gender equality is not a programme area for us. It is a lens applied to every programme we run. We work to ensure women and girls have equal access to resources, opportunities and decision-making — and we design for that from the first day of every project.
