Context
The International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance – International IDEA – is an Inter-Governmental Organization that supports sustainable democracy worldwide. Its objective is to strengthen democratic institutions and processes. The Institute acts as a catalyst for democracy building by providing global comparative knowledge resources and tools, policy proposals and supporting democratic reforms in response to specific national requests, specifically in electoral processes, constitution building processes, political participation and representation, democracy and climate change, and democracy and digitalization.

International IDEA is implementing the European Union-funded “EU Support to End Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (ESGBV) in Nigeria” programme, which aims to reduce Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) through strengthened legal and policy frameworks, expanded survivor-centered services, and positive social norms change. The programme focuses on promoting and protecting the rights of women, girls, and vulnerable groups, improving access to justice, strengthening the rule of law, and enhancing gender-responsive justice systems. It contributes to Sustainable Development Goals 5 (Gender Equality) and 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions) through three key outcomes: strengthening SGBV legal frameworks and enforcement; improving access to essential support services for survivors; and strengthening the capacity of civil society and women’s rights organizations to promote social norms change to end SGBV.
