Fable Advisory and the Isa Wali Empowerment Initiative (IWEI) in collaboration with the WEE Policy Catalyst Fund have hosted a strategic awareness campaign to drive the domestication of the National Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) Policy in Kano State.
The campaign was carried out with support from Albright Stonebridge Group (ASG).
The session which held at Babale Suites on October 21, 2024, focused on women’s empowerment as part of the National Women’s Economic Empowerment Policy and Action Plan.
Director of the Centre for Gender Studies at Bayero University, Dr. Safiya Ahmad expressed his support and passion for woman development and empowerment.
“I am truly passionate about women empowerment, so this initiative is incredibly impressive to me, and I’m thrilled to see it taking shape”, he said.
Renowned Kannywood actor and filmmaker, Umar Gombe enthused:
“I am confident that change is coming because the future is female,” he said.
Gombe said the collective efforts of participants at the event also marked a significant step towards empowering women economically and promoting gender-responsive economic growth in the core northern city.
The event brought together influential leaders from the creative and digital industries to explore practical ways of integrating the WEE Policy into Kano’s fast-growing sectors.
The National Women’s Economic Empowerment Policy is a strategic roadmap for advancing the WEE policy in Nigeria.
