UN Women is the United Nations agency responsible for promoting gender equality and empowering women worldwide. Created in 2010, it works with governments, civil society, and other UN bodies to develop laws, policies, and programmes that advance women’s rights and ensure their full participation in all areas of life.
The organization focuses on key areas such as women’s leadership and political participation, economic empowerment, ending violence against women and girls, and involving women in peace and humanitarian efforts. It also supports countries to include gender equality in their national development plans and budgets.
Beyond policy work, UN Women collects and shares data on gender issues, ensuring accountability and informed decision-making. Its efforts are especially vital in addressing issues that intersect with public health, education, and social justice—areas where inequality deeply affects women’s wellbeing.

350 Africa is a continental movement building African grassroots power to fight climate change and advance climate justice. The organisation believes that a bottom-up movement—rooted in communities across Africa—can hold leaders accountable to the realities of climate science and ensure that solutions are crafted in a way that benefits everyone.
Their work spans multiple campaigns and reports: for example, they run campaigns such as #CoalFreeNigeria, #StopKarpowershipSA, and efforts opposing pipelines like the East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline. They also publish research and resources on topics such as just transitions, public finance for climate change, and renewable energy in Africa.
350 Africa invites people—especially young people and activists—to join their mailing list and movement, thereby amplifying grassroots voices and responding to climate challenges in Africa with region-specific strategy.

Citizens’ Climate Lobby is a non-profit, non-partisan grassroots advocacy organisation dedicated to building the political will for meaningful climate solutions by empowering individuals to exercise both personal and political power.
The group focuses on bringing everyday people together—regardless of background—to engage in their communities, form local chapters, and influence their elected representatives, media, and local officials. They don’t rely on partisan division but emphasise respect, relationship-building, and shared values as the basis for change.
CCL’s methodology involves training volunteers in lobbying, media outreach, grassroots organising, and chapter development—collectively described as their “levers of political will.” These tools help turn citizen engagement into legislative impact.
The organisation strives to ensure that climate policy is inclusive and that people from all walks of life—students, farmers, engineers, grandparents—have a voice. They place strong emphasis on diversity, equity and inclusion, recognising that effective climate action must engage every community.

World Connect is an international non-profit organisation founded in 2005 by the Haney family, which commits to empowering under-resourced communities to lead their own development.
World Connect believes that people closest to their challenges are best positioned to find effective solutions. Instead of imposing external programmes, it collaborates with local leaders and communities, offering seed funding, coaching, and a supportive network of field-partners so that ideas from the ground can be brought to life.
The organisation places strong emphasis on co-investment: for each dollar World Connect invests, the community is encouraged to raise additional funds and contribute their own resources — as a way to build ownership, sustainability, and capacity.
Its interventions span health, education, environment and economic development, with an explicit focus on women, girls and local leadership. Through its model, World Connect aims to support solutions that are designed by the people who will implement them, ensuring that change is local-led, context-driven and sustainable.

Development Alternative Inc (DAI) through The Partnership for Agile Governance & Climate Engagement (PACE) project supports coalitions that influence governments to resolve climate and governance problems affecting the poorest and most vulnerable communities. It aims to increase state government income from internally generated revenue, mainstream climate action in state government policy, planning, and budgets, and strengthen election delivery and credibility. The program is implemented in Kaduna, Kano, and Jigawa in north-western Nigeria, with targeted strategic engagement at the federal and regional levels.
Bridge That Gap Initiative is a consortium partner of the PACE programme, which aims at addressing changes to climate through the governance lens. It facilitates new coalitions to address governance barriers, providing targeted, politically informed assistance to strengthen government systems and support citizen empowerment and accountability.
PACE supports the development and implementation of effective governance and climate strategies. This includes embedding, deepening, and broadening reform efforts in partner states and at the federal level to influence change throughout all 36 Nigerian states.

Extinction Rebellion UK is a network of deeply concerned individuals who believe the climate and ecological emergency demands immediate action. They operate on the conviction that the systems governing our lives have failed to respond adequately to the threats facing all life on Earth. They emphasise non-violent direct action as the means to force change, and they invite people from all walks of life to join their movement to disrupt “business as usual” until governments act justly and urgently.
Their philosophy holds that time is running out, and that waiting for incremental change will no longer suffice. Their efforts are guided by three core demands: that governments tell the truth about the crisis, act now to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and then go beyond politics by handing meaningful decision-making power to citizens through assemblies.
The movement also places importance on the wellbeing and sustainable participation of its members. They provide resources for arrest support, debriefing after actions, and cultivating regenerative culture — recognising that activism itself must be conscious of the people doing it and the broader human and ecological systems.
