In October 2017, WIDEF in collaboration with Youthview Initiative for Leading Light Empowerment spearheaded the Rural Entrepreneurship and Skills Acquisition (RESA) project.
Through this project, WIDEF provided entrepreneurial, vocational, and agricultural training, as well as small grants and soft loans empowering over 250 women and youth from underserved communities across the Niger-Delta region in Nigeria to start their own small businesses. Through the acquisition of new skills and access to financial resources, beneficiaries of the RESA project are better equipped to weather economic downturns and other challenges, create employment opportunities, and establish sustainable livelihoods, hence reducing their vulnerability to poverty and laying the foundation for a more prosperous and resilient community.
By fostering entrepreneurship and providing access to training and financial support, the project helps to improve the lives of hundreds of women and youth reducing their reliance on external assistance and empowering them to become more self-reliant.
Overall, the roundtable consultation with civil society on digital rights enriched participants’ understanding of the multifaceted intersection between human rights and the digital era, offering diverse and informed perspectives from all the participants. The consultation emphasized the need for collaboration between various stakeholders, including governments, legal practitioners, and civil society, to collectively address the complexities of legal policy frameworks, promoting an environment that respects and safeguard digital rights, while tackling issues of disinformation, misinformation and hate speech and upholding information integrity.
