Background
Act Naija! – Civil Society Action to Strengthen Social Protection in Nigeria is a three-year initiative co-funded by the European Union under its Human Rights and Support to Civil Society in Nigeria programme. The project is implemented by a consortium comprising Brot für die Welt (BfdW), the Africa Network for Environment and Economic Justice (ANEEJ), and the New Initiative for Social Development (NISD).
The project recognizes social protection as one of the most essential mechanisms for reducing poverty and inequality and promoting social justice. As a result, the overall objective of the project is to improve the inclusivity of the social protection system in Nigeria. One of the objectives of the project is to increase public awareness on the importance of promoting an inclusive and responsive social protection system.
To advance this objective, the project places strong emphasis on strategic communication and public engagement as tools for deepening understanding of the level of poverty in the country and the social protection Initiatives to stimulating informed public discourse. By using compelling, people-centred narratives, the project seeks to highlight both the lived realities of citizens and the systemic gaps that affect social protection delivery. These communication efforts are intended to make social protection issues more visible, relatable, and actionable for a broad range of stakeholders, including policymakers, service providers, and the general public.
