With generous support from individuals and private sector partners through our Fund-Raising exercise, Jen Initiative for Integrity and Development (JIID) commemorated Menstrual Hygiene Day 2026 on June 5th, under the theme “Together for a .”

Our team organized sensitization activities at Government Day Secondary School Capital and El-Shaddai Model School in Yola North, Adamawa State, reaching 100 adolescent girls.

During the sessions, we discussed key topics including: understanding menstrual cycles and hygiene practices, proper menstrual waste management, managing menstrual discomfort, the health impacts of poor menstrual hygiene, the significance of menstrual products in maintaining dignity and confidence, and how to recognize and prevent Sexual Gender-Based Violence.
To reinforce our commitment, we distributed Dignity Kits to the participants, providing them with essential items to manage their menstrual health with dignity.

Our Menstrual Hygiene Day 2026 activities are a step toward building a . We believe every girl deserves access to accurate information, quality education, and dignity, regardless of her menstrual status.
Join us in celebrating Menstrual Hygiene Day, and let’s work together to break the stigma and create a world where girls and women can thrive free from shame surrounding menstruation.

The final phase of JIID’s 10-day capacity building programme emphasized Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL), Data Management, and Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP).
Staff developed SMART indicators, logframes, and adaptive management approaches, while strengthening data collection, analysis, and reporting systems. The training concluded with sessions on community feedback mechanisms, reinforcing JIID’s commitment to transparency and responsiveness.

This initiative reflects JIID’s unwavering commitment to institutional excellence and integrity. We extend our sincere appreciation to our partners and stakeholders whose support made this achievement possible.

As part of the 10-day capacity building programme, JIID dedicated sessions to strengthening organizational sustainability through Resource Mobilization and Proposal Writing, Procurement Systems, and Financial Management.
Staff were trained to identify funding opportunities, draft competitive proposals, and apply procurement principles effectively. Practical exercises in budgeting and financial planning, alongside hands-on QuickBooks training, reinforced accountability and improved financial reporting capacity.
These skills ensure JIID’s ability to mobilize resources effectively and manage them responsibly in service of its mission.

Jen Initiative for Integrity and Development (JIID) successfully conducted a 10-day intensive capacity building programme for its staff under the PLRCAP/NORCAP/NGO Support Hub/UKaid Seed Grant for Institutional Strengthening, held from 25 March to 8 April 2026 at the JIID office Yola. This programme was designed to strengthen organizational systems, enhance staff competencies, and reinforce JIID’s commitment to integrity and sustainable development.

The first phase of the training focused on strengthening Organizational Capacity Development and Governance, clarifying Organizational Structures and SOPs, and enhancing skills in Advocacy and Stakeholder Engagement. Staff explored accountability systems, sustainability strategies, and compliance frameworks, while also developing advocacy plans and stakeholder mapping tools.

This initiative equips JIID to operate with greater efficiency and influence in advancing its mission.

On March 22, 2026, Jen Initiative for Integrity and Development (JIID) join the global community in commemorating World Water Day, an annual observance established by the United Nations in 1993 to spotlight the world’s water challenges, advocate for sustainable water resource management, and promote equitable access to clean and safe water for all.
This year’s theme, “Water and Gender,” reminds us that water is not just a vital resource, it is deeply connected to social equity. Women and girls across the globe often carry a disproportionate burden in accessing and managing water, facing challenges that limit opportunities and reinforce inequality. However, the integration of gender considerations into water management is essential for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 5 (gender equality) and 6 (clean water and sanitation).
On this World Water Day 2026, we call for action:
• Promote inclusive policies that empower women in water governance.
• Ensure equitable access to water as a matter of human rights.
• Work together to eliminate gender disparities and build resilient, equal societies.
Water security must benefit everyone regardless of gender. Let us unite to create a future where access to clean water is universal, and where women and men share equally in shaping sustainable solutions.

Today, March 8, 2026, we celebrate International Women’s Day, a global occasion to honor women everywhere. This year’s theme, "Give to Gain," resonates deeply as Jen Initiative for Integrity and Development (JIID) joins the broader campaign: “Rights. Justice. Action. For All Women and Girls.”
Investing in women through education, support, and opportunities sparks waves of growth and progress that uplift entire communities. When we give today, we empower women to lead, innovate, and shape a better tomorrow.
Let’s dedicate our time, resources, and support to uplift women around the world. Because when we give to women, we all benefit from a brighter, fairer future.

Join us in celebrating the women who inspire change and in advocating for a world where giving leads to gaining for everyone.
