Resumen
Descripción
Nigeria has demonstrated commitment to gender equality through the adoption of key global, regional, and national policy frameworks. However, the integration of gender considerations into water governance remains limited. This report assesses the extent of gender integration in Nigeria’s water policies and governance. Using Buchy et al.’s six-theme Gender Policy Analysis Framework, developed under the CGIAR Initiative on National Policies and Strategies, the study analyzes key policy documents and draws on stakeholder-informed case studies at both federal and state levels. It provides evidence-based analysis of gender integration in water governance, revealing key structural barriers that limit women’s participation and influence. By identifying practical opportunities to enhance gender-responsive policy frameworks and implementation, it offers actionable insights for reform. It emphasizes the importance of inclusive policy development, policy coherence, and effective institutional coordination, proposing solution pathways for establishing more equitable, resilient, and sustainable water governance systems. Ultimately, it contributes to the growing body of evidence underscoring the importance of gender-transformative approaches in achieving inclusive water management.
