Vision

Goal
To establish a Centre of Excellence which will engage in gender responsive research and training
From the CEO
CGWCSD is a Centre of Excellence committed to entrenching gender equality, women empowerment and social inclusion principles as core values for transforming the Nigeria Society, and the African Continent, through gender responsive research, trainings, policy dialogues, mentorship programs, advocacies, women/girls focused intervention programs across sectors, grassroots mobilization, and largely to reduce vulnerabilities among marginalized groups – women, girls, the elderly, and persons with disabilities.
We work with Public and Private Sectors Institutions; Development Partners; CSOs; and Local Communities. Our interventionist approaches include: right based and life cycle approaches; gender mainstreaming; gender policy and planning frameworks; gender budgeting; and gender/feminist methodologies to boost research outcomes etc. The Centre is a HUB for Research & Training.
You are welcome to join the stream of CGWCSD Fellows across our Research & Training Hubs. We mount Short Courses/Training Workshops in Women/Gender related topics; work with governments and Development Partners for gender transformative change; support educational institutions to mainstream gender in academic curricula, and network with Local NGOs, Women/Gender Networks, Feminist Groups, Governments and Development Partners. We support the wellbeing of vulnerable groups – widows, orphans, persons with disabilities, the elderly and survivors of Sexual/Gender-Based Violence.
