Nigeria

National NGO Platforms

The Nigeria Network of NGOs (NNNGO) initially commenced its operations from an Office in the Federal Ministry of Health with the aim of identifying, registering, collaborating, building capacity and mobilizing NGOs. It also wanted to find a way of bringing the worlds of development and human rights to work together. By 1997 NNNGO was strong enough to continue its work as an independent organisation.

Trapped in Fragility – An Assessment of Civil Society Landscape in Nigeria (Abridged Version) – WACSI

Commissioned by WACSI NODE Nigeria and led by the Nigeria Network of NGOs, this report provides a snapshot of Nigeria’s civil society ecosystem, a vital force for democratic governance facing significant structural challenges. It reveals a “starvation cycle” where persistent underfunding weakens organisational capacity and limits impact. Based on a 2025 mixed-methods study, the report examines key capacity areas and highlights the interconnected vulnerabilities affecting over 19,000 CSOs, raising critical questions about the sector’s sustainability and future.
