On Episode 5 of Inclusion for all radio, Chinasa Collins-Ogbuo - podcast host and Head, of Inclusion for all Initiative; is joined by Tolulope Babajide - a gender specialist with experience in gender programming, financial inclusion, and agricultural livelihoods.
Tolulope is the Gender Network Manager at FSD Africa where she works primarily on the Gender Collaborative Programme, across the 10 Financial Sector Deepening Organisations in Africa.
She shares stories from her field experience to highlight why the inclusion gender gap persists in Nigeria and what roles relevant stakeholders must play to address the gap.
We will continue to lend our voice and support to conversations and causes that seek to remove the barriers hindering the formal inclusion of the marginalized groups – until change happens.
