The new programme ‘EU Support to Democratic Governance in Nigeria (EU-SDGN) phase II’ aims to promote democratic consolidation in Nigeria by contributing to the building of strong, inclusive, effective and legitimate democratic institutions. The programme will be implemented from 2022 to 2027, and will be anchored in the priorities of the Nigerian government, in the EU-Nigeria Joint Ministerial roadmap set in 2021 and in the recommendations of the EU Election Observation Mission on the 2019 General Elections and of the 2021 follow up mission to Nigeria set to take place in November 2021. It will focus on six thematic areas of support:
- The Electoral Management Body (EMB)
- The National Assembly
- The Political Parties
- Media
- Participation of Women, Youth and Marginalized Citizens
- Civil Society Organisations and other Non-State Actors
