Overview

Project title: Strengthening Women’s Economic Empowerment (SWEEP)
Summary of project Strengthening Women’s Economic Empowerment Project (SWEEP) is a 3-year program that started in 2022 and implements activities in selected mosques and churches in South West Nigeria (Oyo, Osun, and Ogun states). The project is using the Transforming Masculinities model to identify and address the root causes of sexual and gender based violence especially intimate partner violence and harmful cultural norms and beliefs. The project uses an interfaith approach to transform masculinity, aiming at ending Sexual and Gender Based Violence, leading to improved family well-being and greater economic empowerment for the women including promoting social cohesion along with its standard focus on reducing gender-based violence. The implementation approach has been to collaborate and coordinate with relevant stakeholders, especially the relevant government MDAs, law enforcement agencies and CSOs in the focal states to establish systems for addressing Sexual and gender based violence. The project initially was implemented together with a local partner NGO but in May 2024 Tearfund moved to a model of fully direct implementation by Tearfund.
