Creativity is more than expression, it is power.

Innovation is more than ideas, it is action.

On this World Creativity and Innovation Day 2026, Alliances for Africa celebrates the bold thinkers, the problem-solvers, and the changemakers across Africa who are reimagining systems, amplifying voices, and driving real impact.

We call the attention of the government to a powerful truth that women and girls are creating, and innovating, yet their ideas are too often ignored, underfunded, or excluded.

Across Nigeria, creativity is challenging harmful norms, reclaiming spaces, and building solutions that centres on justice, dignity, and equality using bold ideas and emerging contents.

From community organization to digital activism, women are not just participating, they are transforming systems using creative and innovative methods to send their advocacy across different spheres.

AfA recognised that true innovation must be inclusive, it must amplify marginalized voices, invest in women’s ideas, and dismantle the barriers that limit their potential.

Because when women create freely and lead boldly, societies don’t just change, they thrive.

Let’s fund women’s ideas.

Let’s amplify feminist voices.

Let’s innovate for equality.
