Nigerian Women's Trust Fund

The Nigerian Women's Trust Fund is a non-governmental organization founded in 2011.[1][2] With the decline in the number of women holding esteem political and social positions in Nigeria, the body aims at addressing gender equality by "increasing representation of women in Nigerian governance at all levels" in line with the National Gender Policy (NGP) of 2006.[2]

The organisation was led by Ayisha Osori and she was succeeded by Olufunke Baruwa.[3]
