The Nigerian Women’s Trust Fund. is a mechanism to increase the number of women elected into political positions at all levels of governance in Nigeria. The Mission of the Fund is to facilitate equitable participation and fair play in the political process in Nigeria. In particular the Fund seeks to provide financial and technical assistance to women politicians. The Trust Fund is an independent registered company limited by guaranty, with Goodwill Ambassadors, an Advisory and a Board of Directors.
Women in Nigeria constitute 49.7% of the country’s estimated population of 150 million (NPC 2006). In spite of this, the estimated number of women represented in the executive and judiciary at local, state and federal levels is an estimated 7%(UN Women). This falls short of the National Gender Policy benchmark of 35% as well as other global and regional benchmarks to which the country is signatory. The situation places a demand for the establishment of mechanisms to facilitate an increased qualitative representation of women in appointive and elective positions in Nigeria. It also provides the contextual background for the establishment of the Nigerian Women Trust Fund to lead this desired expansion of women’s space.
