Tech Camp Call for Applications at Equal Access

Since 2013, Equal Access International (EAI) in Nigeria has worked in Northern Nigeria, demonstrating its abilities to guide communities at greatest risk of communal conflicts and political violence toward sustainable solutions that engage the most vulnerable populations in a stakeholder-driven process of community development.  Recently, EAI secured funding from the State Department Bureau of Democracy, Human Right and Labor (DRL) - to implement a comprehensive, community-driven initiative known as ‘Securing Nigerian Communities’ (SNC), with the goal of increasing Civilian Security in high-risk areas of Nigeria’s Northwest and Middle Belt regions.   

Key activity of the DRL project are Tech Camps and Peace Promotion Fellowships (PPFs). Tech Camps are designed to strengthen the capacity, reach, and visibility of youth influencers--particularly young women--to create powerful, credible, and scalable alternative narratives and pathways that strengthen pro-social behavior, community resilience, dialogue, and civic empowerment.
