THE POSITION PAPER GENDER RESPONSIVE
This Position Paper reflects our stance on the Gender Responsiveness of Nigeria’s 2025 Budget. Drawing on budget data, policy reviews, and insights from gender desk officers across MDAs, the paper reveals that despite increased references to women and gender, Nigeria’s national budget remains largely symbolic rather than transformative.
It highlights critical gaps between policy commitments and actual funding, exposes the over-reliance on tokenistic “empowerment” projects, and examines underfunding in key sectors such as health, education, and agriculture.

A COMPENDIUM OF SECTOR-SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS
The goal of this compendium is to offer a robust understanding of the challenges and
barriers that affect Nigerian women and girls across various sectors and areas of life
The high prevalence of gender-based violence, with a significant majority of survivors being women and girls, often under 17 years of age is a major issue.
Inclusive Leadership policies are crucial for promoting gender equality and empowering
women in Nigeria across her sectors of security, sports, education, health, agriculture,
mining, finance, and trade sectors, among others. These Feminist Leadership policies
ensure that women’s needs and perspectives are incorporated into the development of
policies, programs, and projects, thereby addressing gender-specific challenges and
barriers to participation and advancement.
ACTION 3 – SHELTER SUPPORT
Action Aid Nigeria supported the Dorothy Njemanze Foundation’s 14-bed shelter in 2022, providing a safe haven for survivors of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) in Abuja. The grant facilitated a secure environment for adults, teenagers, and children and boosted the capacity of DNF’s account in the Police Hospital by paying medical bills for survivors of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence. It also supported repairs and provided food and dignity kits to women and their children and girls in the DNF Safe House. During this project, the shelter welcomed three new clients, a mother and her two children fleeing Domestic Violence and a 16-year-old Survivor of Sexual Violence. The impact of these activities has been substantial, providing a safe and supportive environment for a diverse group of SGBV survivors and enhancing the quality of life for shelter residents.
