The Strengthening women’s involvement in PPPs (SWIIP3) Project Integrates Gender and SDGs in Nigeria’s Public Private Partnerships (PPP) Infrastructure delivery.
Our gender in PPP guidelines seeks ways of bridging gender gaps across the infrastructure sectors, and SDGs are the bedrock of the SWIIP3 project.
The SWIIP3 project develops a framework, envisioned to identify and highlight areas in the PPP infrastructure delivery process which will transform PPP Infrastructure into gender-responsive Infrastructure projects.
Why we bother?
Infrastructure or the absence of it impacts women disproportionately.Our paradox:
Leveraging disproportionate impacts of PPP infrastructure to achieve parity.
The SWIIP3 Project promotes delivery of infrastructure PPPs with gender perspectives such that gender considerations become etched into the planning, design, procurement, implementation and management of PPP infrastructure.

Testimonials
It was an honour to attend the workshop and sign the certificates. I’m proud to be the first female Australian High Commissioner to Nigeria and keen to support gender initiatives like this that push the boundaries in typically male-dominated environments. Well done to you and the team for a great course.

I would like to stress again that I am really impressed by the SWIP3 Program and would very much like to support you to move this initiative forward, to share knowledge, and to learn from your experience. As mentioned below, I have reached out to a couple of my WBG colleagues who are working on gender, infrastructure and PPP projects to coordinate which internal group may be able to help and take the lead on this.

I thank the SWIP3 Project and the ICRC for this great initiative; the UN Women is really excited for what the SWIP3 Project is doing, and this is something that Nigeria has needed for a very long time. The UN Women is glad that ICRC, as an institution for PPPs is taking a lead on this…we must however make sure that women are there and not just women but key stakeholders who are women, and who can bring on board value to the conversation.
