This #16Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence (GBV), it is essential to take a look at the data to reveal the urgency of this crisis. ? ?? ????The Data: ? ??An estimated 736 million women —almost one in three —have experienced physical and/or sexual violence from an intimate partner or non-partner at least once in their lifetime.? ??Over 640 million women aged 15 and older have faced intimate partner violence. ? ??Every 10 minutes, a woman is killed intentionally.? ??Zero countries are free from femicide.? ? While these figures are alarming, they only scratch the surface of the true scale of #GBV globally. The persistent gender #DataGap remains as a critical obstacle in our efforts to effectively respond to, prevent, and address GBV.? ?? Not only is it time ? to act on the data, but we must also close the #DataGap. There is #NoExcuse. Together, we can #UNiTE to end GBV.?

Driving Forward the Localization Agenda in #Nigeria ???? This November, we participated in the launch of two initiatives aimed at promoting #localization efforts in Nigeria! ? ??First up, the commissioning of the Localization Barometer Project: Led by the Community of Adamawa Civil Organizations (CACO) and the ICVA (International Council of Voluntary Agencies), this innovative framework will quantitatively measure localization progress across West and Central Africa and will boost advocacy efforts at both country and regional levels. We are proud to be part of the Project Steering Committee alongside partners, including United Nations OCHA, the Norwegian Refugee Council, and Save the Children International and civil society networks from Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe (BAY) states, to make this project a reality! ??? ?? ??Next, we teamed up with humanitarian partners to unveil the ‘Humanitarian Supply Chain Management – Partnership for Localization in Nigeria’ project. The goal is to empower local and national organizations to take on a central role in the design and implementation of humanitarian supply chain programs. This initiative was organized by the Office of Nigeria's Vice President, in partnership with Fritz Institute and the Federal Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning.
