UN Women Nigeria has disassociated itself from a fundraising initiative conducted by Gender & Development Action (GADA) ahead of Nigeria's upcoming general elections. The organization expressed concerns that the use of its name and the branding of the Women Political Participation (WPP) Working Group in the fundraising appeals could give the impression that UN Women or the working group endorsed, sponsored, or supported the initiative and the individual female candidates involved.
UN Women emphasized that it is bound by the principles of impartiality, independence, and political neutrality, and does not endorse, campaign for, support, or oppose political parties or individual candidates. The organization has formally communicated its concerns to GADA and requested the organization to cease and desist from using the UN Women name, logo, branding, or WPP-associated visual identity in connection with political fundraising.
