Evidence snapshot for Nigeria
Nigeria has a substantial disability employment challenge, with an estimated 63% of disabled adults unemployed, though Adaptive Atelier's network of 5,000+ disabled consultants is beginning to convert accessibility testing into paid professional work. The country is pursuing broad tech talent development through the 3MTT programme, which enrolled 301,270+ fellows across all 36 states by mid-2024, and through CcHub, which has trained 25,245 individuals and deployed $17.1 million cumulatively to 3,312 African ventures across 49 countries. Evidence also shows that faith-based norms-shifting interventions in Plateau State achieved a 61% reduction in the odds of intimate partner violence among women in participating congregations, suggesting potential for community-based approaches to gender-based violence reduction.
