Nigeria2Equal

completed

Nigeria2Equal Program is being implemented in partnership with Nigerian Exchange (NGX) Limited and aims to help private sector companies increase women’s participation in the sector by reducing gender gaps across leadership, employment, and entrepreneurship. This engagement will see companies make at least two commitments to implement gender-smart solutions that reduce gaps across these areas. The companies will access best practices and other learning resources through their participation in the Peer Learning Platform (PLP). At firm-level, IFC will also support companies to diagnose gender gaps and offer solutions to address these challenges. To deepen market-level understanding and awareness of the business case for gender equality in Nigeria’s private sector, IFC will publish research and best practice case studies. These measures will foster an enabling environment for gender equality, help companies improve the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women to leadership, and promote women’s entrepreneurship in the corporate value chain.
