As Nigeria prepares for the 2027 General Elections, closing the gap between electoral policy and implementation remains critical.

Kimpact Development Initiative (KDI), alongside partners National Endowment for Democracy and National Democratic Institute (NDI), is convening a Stakeholder Roundtable on Electoral Reform Implementation, Electoral Integrity, and Youth Participation.

Under the theme, “From Law to Practice: Lessons from the Ekiti and Osun Governorship Elections,” the discussion will examine practical lessons for strengthening electoral integrity and meaningful youth participation.

Getting Edo State Ready for COP31!

Connected Advocacy's Global Localization Forum hosted a workshop with the Edo State Ministry of Environment and Sustainability — one stop in a series helping African states prepare for COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye this November.

The Edo team, led by Permanent Secretary Mrs Edith Ebomoyi and Director Kenneth Woghiren, joined Connected Advocacy's Prince Israel Orekha and team to talk about how the state can:

🌱 Strengthen its climate & environment institutions
🤝 Build stronger coordination with national and global climate partners
💰 Package its climate projects to attract real funding

As the Forum's motto goes: "The story that wins is the one we tell together." 💚

Big next steps ahead — including a joint Edo–Connected Advocacy coordination plan and getting the state fully ready to represent at COP31!
