Arise&Win Project

Earlier this morning, the ARISE&WIN team held a virtual preparatory meeting ahead of Round 4 of our post-intervention data collection. The session brought together our core team members and part time research assistants to review progress from Round 3 and finalise modalities for collecting the Outcome and Knowledge, Attitude & Practice (KAP) data for the Round 4 data collection. Key discussions focused on data tools and field strategies, with valuable input from our part-time RAs during the Q&A. Even though the IDRC-funded WomenRISE initiative which birthed the ARISE&WIN project ended on March 31, 2025, the ARISE&WIN team is committed to continuing our work for impact and sustainability.

The ARISE&WIN Team Participates in the WomenRISE Initiative End-of-Project Meeting in Nairobi, Kenya

The WomenRISE Initiative, launched in 2022, was designed to support action-oriented, gender-transformative research examining the intersection of women’s health and their work - both paid and unpaid - within the context of preparing for, responding to, and recovering from COVID-19.

From February 3-5, 2025, the 23 research teams who participated in the WomenRISE Initiative gathered for the End-of-Project Meeting, at the Ole-Sereni Hotel, Nairobi, Kenya. Among the participating research teams was the ARISE&WIN research team, with the full title: “Understanding the Gendered Impact of COVID-19 on Young Self-Employed Nigerian Women and Co-Producing Solutions that Foster Better Systems and Well-being,” and branded as Advancing Resiliency in Self-Employed Young Women in Nigeria (ARISE&WIN). ARISE&WIN contributed key insights into the challenges faced by self-employed women in Nigeria and the interventions that can foster their resilience and empower them to thrive in the midst of disruptive and unexpected life events.
