Support the cause

Help guard the integrity of every vote

Youth Electoral Guards Observers trains and deploys young Nigerians as non-partisan citizen observers across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. Support goes directly into training, deployment and the reporting platform behind it.

Where support goes

Five things your support funds

These are the priority areas YEGO has set out for its partners and funders.

What YEGO will never do

  • Ask a Guard to pay for training, certification or deployment.
  • Accept support in exchange for political alignment or favourable reporting.
  • Publish a partner or funder without that organisation's agreement.
  • Publish information as verified before it has passed human review.
