Background of the Study
International organizations have increasingly played a pivotal role in advancing gender-inclusive politics across the world, often through advocacy, funding, and technical support to local governments and political entities (Aliyu & Chuka, 2023). In Sokoto North Local Government Area, Sokoto State, the influence of international organizations in promoting gender equality in politics is becoming more pronounced. These organizations focus on creating awareness, providing training, and supporting policy reforms that aim to increase women’s participation in political processes and leadership roles (Sadiq & Zainab, 2024). Despite the significant challenges posed by traditional gender norms and political structures, international organizations have been working with local stakeholders to break down barriers to women’s political engagement (Yusuf & Hajiya, 2025). The support from these organizations is crucial in fostering gender-inclusive politics and encouraging local women to pursue political careers. This study evaluates the impact of international organizations in fostering gender-inclusive political environments in Sokoto North, with a particular focus on their programs and initiatives.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Women in Sokoto North Local Government Area continue to face numerous barriers to political participation, including entrenched gender stereotypes, cultural resistance, and insufficient political support (Musa & Ahmed, 2023). Despite efforts by international organizations, the level of women’s involvement in politics remains low, as local political systems are often not conducive to gender inclusivity (Nuhu & Hamza, 2024). This study seeks to investigate the effectiveness of international organizations’ interventions in promoting gender-inclusive politics, examining both successes and limitations of their strategies in Sokoto North.
