Gender Equality: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.

Gender bias is undermining social development and our social fabric as a nation. Gender equality is a basic human right. It is also a precondition for reducing poverty and advancing development. NANGO and its network works countrywide to ensure that girls and boys, women and men enjoy the same rights, resources, opportunities and protections.

There is continual progression towards meeting these by the government, for instance in education there is affirmative action for women to allow them access and within the Parliament there is proportional representation of women. NANGO envisions a society when people of all genders have equal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities. A society in which the public is not discriminated by gender when it comes to political, economic, legal and socio-cultural opportunities, processes and resource accessibility.

Our work towards this goal includes policy lobby, monitoring SDGs implementation, budget monitoring and expenditure tracking, VNR, and among others.
