Nigeria for Women Program Scale Up

Nigeria for Women Program Scale Up Project (NFWPSU) is a Federal Government Women's Economic Empowerment initiative and the project development objective is to institutionalize Women Affinity Groups (WAGs) and other platforms for women's economic empowerment and enhance economic opportunities for unbanked women. 

It is currently being implemented across 28 states with the goal to reach about five million Nigerian women across all 36 states including FCT.  

Three components drive it. First, building social capital; strengthening Women Affinity Groups as platforms for financial access, voice, and climate resilience. Second, livelihood; connecting women to the Community Investment Fund, to markets, to low-carbon production systems. Third; the infrastructure that makes it all accountable, project management, monitoring, evaluation, and the institutional capacity to make it sustainable.
