Call for EOIs: Ending Child Marriage and Empowering Adolescent Girls (Nigeria)
About
This is a pivotal moment to drive meaningful change in Nigeria. The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) has opened a crucial call for Expressions of Interest, inviting non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and community-based civil society organizations (CSOs) to join a powerful movement. This initiative is dedicated to ending child marriage, fortifying child protection systems, and empowering adolescent girls across Katsina and Jigawa States. Imagine your organization contributing directly to a future where every girl can fulfill her potential, free from the constraints of early marriage. This is more than a project; it's a chance to partner with a global leader in child rights and create a lasting legacy of safety, education, and empowerment for a generation of young women. If your organization has the passion, experience, and vision to protect and uplift adolescent girls, UNICEF wants to hear from you. This collaboration could amplify your impact and bring transformative hope to communities that need it most.
