Today in Kano, the Kano State Ministry of Women Affairs, Children & Persons with Special Needs, in collaboration with dRPC, held the inception meeting for the Grannies Network for Change (G-NEC) (The KAKA Project) 2026–2027.

This initiative places grandmothers, the “Kaka”, at the center of change, recognizing their influence in shaping family and community decisions. Across 10 communities in Kano and Jigawa, they will lead efforts to reduce gender-based violence and support girls to stay in school and complete their education.

By addressing economic barriers, harmful norms, and engaging both elders and youth, G-NEC is building a sustainable, community-driven response to GBV. Real change starts at home, and with those who hold influence within it.
