Bridging the gap in participation of women in Senior Management positions in the Nigerian Higher Education
This project highlights the underrepresentation of women in the Higher Education Leadership.
It explores opportunities to create awareness of the need to increase the percentage of women in Senior Management positions in the Nigerian Higher Education system focusing on Equity, Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EEDI). Inequality, inequity, disadvantage, lack of diversity, and exclusion have been highlighted as major socio-economic indicators preventing development progress in many developing economies. EEDI examines how to eliminate discrimination related to gender, age, disability, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and socio-economic background.
Increase awareness of EEDI by highlighting the “underrepresentation of women” in senior leadership positions and recognizing the value of women in the higher education system.
Create collaborative learning and resources that will advance leadership competencies, management skills, employability skills and confidence of women to take up leadership positions in future.
Explore opportunities to review and revisit policies connected with recruitment, promotion, and appointments at all levels of the Nigerian Higher Education system.
Provide opportunities for scholars and institutions to exchange ideas about policies, practices, and implementation of EEDI strategy and share good practices.
Co-create partnership for the establishment or strengthening of EEDI and Gender studies centres/programmes among partnering institutions.
