Strengthening accountability to improve sexual and reproductive health outcomes for women and girls requires more than service delivery; it demands continuous learning, feedback, and community engagement.

Under the Increasing Sexual and Reproductive Autonomy among Women and Girls in Nigeria Project, implemented by ZEGCAWIS in partnership with Ipas Nigeria Health Foundation and funding from Global Affairs Canada, the ZEGCAWIS Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) team conducted quarterly activities across Kaga (Benesheik & Ngamdu) and Chibok (Mbalala & Garu) LGAs, Borno State.

These activities included client exit interviews with women and girls accessing SRH care, reproductive coercion support, and Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) services. The interviews were designed to gather direct feedback on the quality, accessibility, and responsiveness of services received, ensuring that survivors’ voices inform continuous service improvement and accountability within the health system.

The MEAL team also facilitated coordination and interface meetings with health care providers, Patent and Proprietary Medicine Vendors (PPMVs), peer educators, and other community intermediaries. These engagements strengthened collaboration between community and facility actors, improved referral systems, and reinforced a shared understanding of safe, confidential, and youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health service delivery.

In addition, routine data collection and tracking were carried out across communities and health facilities to monitor progress, identify service gaps, and support evidence-based decision-making for the project.

These activities are critical in ensuring accountability, strengthening service delivery, and enhancing the effectiveness of interventions aimed at increasing sexual and reproductive autonomy among women and girls. The feedback generated continue to guide program improvements and contribute to better health outcomes, empowerment, and protection of rights for women and girls in the target communities.

Empowering adolescents with knowledge for informed choices.

Adolescent boys and girls (ages 15–19), including persons with disabilities, from Kaga (Benesheik & Ngamdu) and Chibok (Mbalala & Garu) LGAs, participated in a community-based awareness session on Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) and Gender-Based Violence (GBV), under the Increasing Sexual and Reproductive Autonomy among Women and Girls in Nigeria Project, implemented by ZEGCAWIS in partnership with Ipas Nigeria, and funded by Global Affairs Canada.

The session, facilitated by trained peer educators and community advocates, provided a safe space for adolescents to learn, ask questions, and discuss key issues affecting their sexual health, well-being, and rights, as well as their community.

Through interactive discussions, participants were sensitised on informed decision-making, healthy relationships, prevention of GBV, and access to available support services.

This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen adolescent knowledge, promote bodily autonomy, and empower young people to make informed choices that contribute to healthier and more resilient communities.

Empowering the Next Generation of Gender Champions

As part of our commitment to advancing gender equality and social inclusion under the AGEWEDS SEPIN SUSI Project, ZEGCAWIS conducted engaging club sessions with Adolescent Gender Champions Clubs in Mafoni Liberty Secondary School, Old Maiduguri Secondary School, Jiddari Secondary School, and Shehu Garbai Secondary School across MMC and Jere LGAs.

The sessions brought together male and female students to explore important issues, including gender inequalities, human rights, leadership, advocacy skills, and the role young people can play in creating inclusive and equitable communities.

ZEGCAWIS is nurturing a generation of young champions who will challenge harmful norms, promote equality, and become positive agents of change within their schools and communities by equipping adolescents with knowledge, confidence, and leadership skills.

Together, we are building a future where every girl and boy can thrive, lead, and contribute to a more just and inclusive society.

Today, we celebrate the resilience of our democracy, the strength of our people, and the collective commitment to building a nation where every voice matters.

ZEGCAWIS believes that democracy thrives when women, girls, and marginalized communities are empowered to participate, lead, and contribute meaningfully to society. As we commemorate this important day, we reaffirm our dedication to promoting inclusion, civic engagement, human rights, and sustainable development for all.

May this Democracy Day inspire renewed hope, unity, accountability, and active citizenship as we work together towards a more just, peaceful, and prosperous Nigeria.

Happy Democracy Day!

It is with immense gratitude that we present ZEGCAWIS’ 2025 Annual Report.

This report reflects a year of resilience, impact, learning, and unwavering commitment to improving the lives of women, girls, children, and vulnerable communities across Borno State.
The year brought both opportunities and challenges, including a difficult funding landscape and the broader effects of shifting donor priorities. Despite these realities, we remained steadfast in our mission, delivering community-driven interventions in girls’ education, child health and nutrition, gender equality, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response, and social cohesion.

Beyond the statistics and achievements captured in the report are powerful human stories of transformation. We witnessed girls gain the confidence to stay in school, women take on more active roles in community decision-making, families adopt healthier practices, children access essential health services, and survivors connect with critical support, care, and referral pathways.

These achievements would not have been possible without the collective efforts of our stakeholders. ZEGCAWIS extends its sincere appreciation to the Board of Directors for their strategic guidance and oversight, donors and partners for their trust and collaboration, dedicated staff and volunteers for their tireless commitment, and the communities we serve for their partnership and confidence in our work.

As we look ahead, our focus remains clear: to deepen our impact, strengthen evidence-based programming, expand strategic partnerships, and continue placing the voices, needs, and aspirations of women, girls, children, and marginalized groups at the heart of everything we do.

Together, we are building resilience, creating opportunities, and advancing a future where every woman and girl can live with dignity, safety, and the opportunity to reach her full potential.

Engaging men and boys in the community is a driver for sustainable positive change.

As part of our peer-to-peer sessions under the Increasing Sexual and Reproductive Autonomy Among Women and Girls in Nigeria in partnership with Ipas Nigeria Health Foundation, and funding from Global Affairs Canada (GAC), ZEGCAIWS engaged male participants in communities across Kaga and Chibok LGAs of Borno State, including Ngamdu, Benisheikh, Garu, and Mbalala.

The discussions focused on promoting gender equality, preventing gender-based violence, supporting sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), and encouraging men and boys to become advocates for positive social change within their families and communities.

By involving men and boys in these important conversations, ZEGCAWIS is fostering shared responsibility, challenging harmful norms, and creating supportive environments where women and girls can exercise their rights and make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing.

Together, we are building communities that value respect, inclusion, and equality for all.

Stigma should never stand between a woman and the care she needs.

Every woman deserves compassion, respect, and access to healthcare without fear of judgment. When we replace stigma with support, we help create healthier families and stronger communities.

From making just one cap at a time to multiple through collaboration and vision as a result of the Gender Action Learning Systems (GALS) training.

Falmata Tijani’s story shows how the right knowledge, mentorship, and opportunity can unlock growth and create lasting impact. Through the SEPIN SUSI AGEWEDS Project, women are gaining the tools to dream bigger, plan better, and transform their livelihoods.

Respect is the foundation of change.
When respect is upheld, violence has no space to thrive.
