SUMMARY:THE NIGERIA SOCIAL ACTION CAMP 2023
DESCRIPTION:THEME: SOLIDARITY FOR POPULAR PARTICIPATION AND RESTORATIVE DEMOCRATIC ACTION IN NIGERIA\nSince 1999\, Nigeria’s civic journey has taken a distressing turn\, characterized by diminishing democratic freedoms. A clique of self-serving godfathers who act with total impunity overshadow Nigeria’s political terrain. Their suspect democratic credentials\, propped up by doubtful election results and a bending judiciary\, steadily erode the nation’s democratic foundations. \nOn the other hand\, a growing civic awakening on the part of the youths awaits support to transform into a formidable popular movement. An oppressive and corrupt government cannot continue unchallenged forever! The Social Action Camp 2023 brings to the fore the urgency of revitalizing youth and civil society engagements\, pushing them to interrogate the post-2023 political landscape and rally the populace against looming authoritarianism. \nCURRENT STATE OF THE NATION: \nNigeria is caught in a whirlwind of challenges that transcend electoral concerns. While the 2023 elections spotlighted profound ethno-religious cleavages\, casting aspersions on institutions like INEC and the judiciary\, there’s more to the story. The nation confronts a surge in violence\, crime\, and displacement\, exacerbating the existing socio-political divides. The deteriorating economic landscape further strains the populace\, leading to increased hardship and disillusionment with a ruling class that appears more aloof with each passing day. Against this backdrop\, the demand for an all-encompassing\, unified movement for societal reform becomes louder. \nYouth-led movements did emerge during the 2023 election period\, yet they faced challenges in terms of ideological coherence\, longevity\, and purpose\, making them susceptible to absorption by entrenched political structures. \nTHE NIGERIA SOCIAL ACTION CAMP 2023: \nOver the years\, the Nigeria Social Action Camp has positioned itself as a nexus for deliberations and actions confronting Nigeria’s socio-political milieu. A converging point for the youth\, progressive factions\, and agents of social change\, the camp is a breeding ground for dialogue\, fostering solidarity\, and blueprinting transformative strategies. This year’s edition pivots around re-energizing the engagement of youths and civil societies to lead resistance movements on a grand scale. \nIn solidarity with partners\, from youth collectives to human rights advocates\, the camp sets the stage for robust debates to reignite youth-driven initiatives. Channelling the spirit and fervour of the pre-1999 pro-democracy movements\, the aspiration is to galvanize a movement rooted in accountability\, advocating for the fortification of democratic values and warding off the encroachments of autocracy. \nHOW TO REGISTER: \nThere are a few spots available for in-person participation.

SUMMARY:THE NIGERIA RESOURCE JUSTICE CONFERENCE 2023
DESCRIPTION:THEME: Beyond COP 28: Localizing Climate Solutions for Nigeria’s Resilience \n Rockview Hotel Classic\, Abuja\, FCT | Monday\, 18th December\, 2023 \nIn the wake of COP 28 in Dubai\, the Nigeria Resource Justice Conference 2023 will be held in Abuja to examine international climate agendas further and to shape actionable strategies specific to Nigeria. At COP 27 in 2022\, developing countries advocated for improved funding to support victims of climate change\, especially in the global south. Since then\, progress in climate financing has been slow. With COP 28 ongoing\, there is an anticipation of new global resolutions. The Nigeria Resource Justice Conference 2023 will focus on incorporating COP 28’s outcomes\, particularly in climate adaptation\, finance\, and technology\, into Nigeria’s unique environmental and socio-economic context.
