Yiaga Africa, in partnership with WILAN Global and with support from GIZ, is excited to announce the ‘Young Women in Politics Organising Lab’ a leadership and organizing bootcamp designed to mobilize and support young women in politics with the skills and confidence to lead, mobilize, and campaign effectively.
The Young Women in Politics Organising Lab will take place in Lagos, Nigeria, as a 2-day leadership and training camp. One of the key outcomes will be to strengthen the capacity of young women-led civil society organizations dedicated to mobilizing and supporting young women in politics. The Labs will inspire and educate participants, equipping them with practical knowledge and organizing skills to run effective campaigns and build movements around issues that matter to them.
