Fully funded and not currently accepting donations.

Project summary

This project aims to bring together existing and potential community members of EA in Abuja, Nigeria, to network, share ideas and engage in aligned discussions.

The participants would include students, professionals, mid-career individuals and recent graduates.

What are this project's goals? How will you achieve them?

PROJECT GOALS:

  • To attract potential community members

  • To increase engagement and knowledge of Effective Altruism among community members

  • To encourage networking and collaboration in the community

I aim to achieve these through:

  • Hosting a one day meetup event in Abuja, Nigeria for 20 persons with Minimum funding and 40 persons with complete funding.

  • Tailor a program that would be centered around EA cause areas and how we can make impact; facilitating EA aligned discussions

  • Share relevant resources with participants including our introductory fellowship program for new members

How will this funding be used?

This funding would be used to:

  1. Rent a space for our meet up in Abuja.

  2. Pay for food (Vegetarian) and drinks

  3. Print a few flyers

  4. Handle other logistics involved in organizing the meet up

Who is on your team? What's your track record on similar projects?

I will be hosting this with Christoper Isu who has been in our community for over 2 years and has experience in handling logistics for some of our events in the past and present.

TRACK RECORD:

I have been handling the operations of EA Nigeria for about 2 years, working with the director to host events and bring various initiatives to life.

In two years(2022-2024), we have organized 2 workshops, 1 retreat, EA community meet ups in Abuja, Kano, Ibadan and Lagos.

What are the most likely causes and outcomes if this project fails?

  • Poor publicity could lead to a failure of the meet up; not reaching the right persons or prospects could be detrimental to this project but this is less likely to happen because we would target our publicity for this event to reach the right category of people

What other funding are you or your project getting?

None
