PALLADIUM SCALE PROJECT

FIDA Nigeria as a resource partner under the Palladium Strengthening Civic Advocacy and Local Engagement (SCALE) Project is managing the implementation of SCALE components 4 and 5 under the project.

The project presents an opportunity for FIDA to continue its work and scale up its operations, particularly in advocating for gender and child-centric protection legislation against Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV); Child, Early and Forced Marriage (CEFM); Trafficking in Persons, as well as policy campaigns and sensitization activities across communities on issues affecting women, children and persons with disabilities at the state and federal levels.

Under this 1-year renewable program, FIDA will work with stakeholders to address social norms that encourage Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) and Child, Early and Forced Marriage (CEFM) in the community; and empower (through capacity building) community paralegals to respond to incidences of SGBV, CEFM, and trafficking in persons.
