Today, selected Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and other stakeholders are participating in a one-day socialisation workshop on the domestication of the National Women’s Economic Empowerment Policy (WEE).
Organised by the development Research and Projects Centre (dRPC), the socialisation workshop aims to review and educate participants about the policy and to highlight their roles and expectations.
This followed the creation of a nine-member committee by the Lagos State Government two weeks ago to domesticate the WEE after meeting with a delegation from the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies and the dRPC on the implementation of the guidelines to domesticate the WEE policy in the state.
The WEE was launched in 2023 to streamline all gender policies and address disparities faced by women in accessing financial benefits and opportunities in various sectors.
One year after its launch, most states are yet to domesticate the policy.
The socialisation workshop on the policy is ongoing at Pearworth Hotel, Ikeja Lagos.
