AMPLIFYING WOMEN’S VOICES: NIGERIA FOR WOMEN PROGRAM SCALE UP AT THE SBCC SUMMIT 2026

The Nigeria for Women Program Scale Up is live at the International Social and Behavior Change Communication Summit 2026 in Panama. The SBCC is more than a conference, it is the largest gatherings of impact communicators on the planet. Speakers at the summit pushed back on traditional, one-way models of communication, arguing instead for approaches rooted in lived experience, memory, identity and local knowledge. As the summit continues, the direction is clear: center local knowledge, elevate indigenous leadership, and rethink how communication for social change is defined and practiced.
