ANEEJ
The Africa Network for Environment and Economic Justice (ANEEJ) is a non-governmental organization whose goal is to amplify the voice of the weak, the less privileged and the marginalized groups in the society including women, youths, and People Living With Disabilities in order to increase their participation in the democratic decision-making process. As its basis, ANEEJ believes in a democratic system for managing human interest and operates within two broad areas namely environmental and economic justice. ANEEJ advocates the importance of supporting the Nigerian national government and state governments in delivering equitable services the citizens. For about 25 years, ANEEJ has been working in Nigeria (Niger Delta region and other parts of the country) and other parts of the World, designing and managing projects that addresses poverty, inequality, corruption, injustice, environmental degradation, democracy and governance challenges and access to WASH services among other. Working with local communities, civil society organizations (both local and international), the private sector, State, national and foreign governments, our focus has been on asset recovery and management, Debts and Structural Adjustments, sustainable development, institutional building, the alleviation of poverty and economic empowerment among others areas. Since inception, ANEEJ worked with over 100 civil society organisations while hosting the Secretariat of the Publish What You Pay (PWYP) Campaign, Nigeria from 2004 to 2008 and the Nigerian Network on Stolen Assets. ANEEJ led the Jubilee Debt Movement in Nigeria campaigning for the cancellation of the nation's odious debt. This yielded a major result in 2005 when Nigeria got debt cancellation from the Paris and London Club of creditors. The organisation also coordinated CSOs that were involved in monitoring repatriated money looted by Late General Sani Abacha.
