At the start of a new year filled with opportunity, the Both Ends Believing (BEB) Nigeria team came together for a strategic session designed to lay a strong foundation for the months ahead. Over the course of two days, the team reflected on priorities for 2026 and thoughtfully mapped out implementation approaches to maximize impact for vulnerable children across the country.
The gathering created space for meaningful collaboration and forward-thinking strategy. Together, the team identified key partnerships that will be essential in advancing their work, exploring how to engage these partners in ways that align with BEB’s ultimate goal: ensuring children are placed in safe, loving families. By prioritizing relationships that strengthen the broader child protection ecosystem, the team is positioning itself for deeper, more sustainable impact.
A critical component of the session focused on strengthening data protection and privacy practices. The team participated in a training led by Tolulope Pius-Fadipe, Head of Research at the Nigeria Data Protection Commission. This training reinforced the importance of safeguarding sensitive information and deepened the team’s commitment to protecting every child’s digital identity with care and integrity.
By the end of the session, there was a shared sense of clarity, alignment, and momentum. Equipped with strengthened strategies, new insights, and a renewed sense of purpose, the BEB Nigeria team is stepping into 2026 energized and ready to drive meaningful change.
As the year unfolds, this preparation will help ensure that more children across Nigeria are known, protected, and given the opportunity to grow up in safe, loving families.
