2009 - 2010 Annual Report

To build on the successes and activities of previous years, BAOBAB conducted training for specific groups from diverse professions and sectors. These include the media, academia, activists, and religious leaders, among others. The training activities undertaken in 2009-2010 include gender and leadership training for staff members of Lodoja Akintola University in Oyo State, gender and leadership training for BAOBAB staff, leadership training for media personnel, as well as a 'Bridge-Building' meeting and training for religious leaders of different faiths. We also collaborated with the women members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). About Three Hundred (300) women and a number of men from these diverse constituencies benefited from BAOBAB's capacity building activities in these two years. Some of these were carried out in collaboration with Women's Learning Partnership for Rights, Development and Peace (WLP), of which BAOBAB is the Africa hub. Other capacity-building projects were in collaboration with the Women's Reclaiming and Redefining Culture Programme of the international solidarity network, Women Living Under Muslim Laws and the Institute of Women's Studies.
