DAY 1 | COALITION LEADERSHIP STRENGTHENING WORKSHOP
Today, we officially commenced the Coalition Leadership Strengthening Workshop, bringing together Executive members of the Coalition of Civil Society Organizations on Ending Child Marriage in Nigeria for days of learning, reflection, collaboration and strategic engagement.
The workshop, supported by Girls Not Brides, provides an important opportunity to strengthen the leadership capacity of coalition members and deepen our collective commitment to ending child marriage in Nigeria.
Day 1 was particularly about leadership; what it means to lead within a coalition, how we influence change, and how effective leadership can translate collective commitment into sustainable action.
As civil society organisations working across different contexts, our strength lies not only in the work we do individually, but also in our ability to work together, build trust, share knowledge, coordinate our efforts and amplify the voices of girls and communities.
As we begin this journey, we look forward to strengthening the collective leadership needed to accelerate progress towards a Nigeria where every girl can grow, learn, make informed choices and reach her full potential free from child marriage.
