Women-Only Civil-Military Relations Training in SouthEast Nigeria
The Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Nigeria, in collaboration with the Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR) and the National Women's Platform on Security Sector Reform and Governance (NWSSRG), organized a Women-Only Civil-Military Relations training Workshop for actors in the Southeast Region of Nigeria.
The three (3) days of training, held in Enugu between 12 – 14 July 2023, brought together women leaders, civil society groups, government officials, students, and paramilitary members to foster inclusive and gender-responsive security.
As part of the #FriedrichEbertStiftung Civil-Military Relations Training Programme, the Women-Only CMR session was designed to empower and strengthen women to actively contribute to civil-military cooperation, gender equality and regional stability.
Through interactive sessions and role-playing exercises, participants gained essential knowledge and skills in conflict resolution and a deep understanding of the roles of civilians, military and Civil society in strengthening civil-military relations across Nigeria.
