Beyond raising awareness among millions of citizens and encouraging them to demand better from political parties and candidates, we also played a pivotal role in ensuring that leading candidates articulated their perspectives on these issues and outlined their proposed solutions to address them, should they be elected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We engaged over 74,000 supporters in the course of the campaign. 9,900 Nigerians took digital actions, 5,600 signed the pledges on jobs and health systems strengthening, and we gained nearly 500 new vociferous and passionate supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-achieved\">What we achieved<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We successfully encouraged political parties and candidates to embrace issue-based campaign messaging, leading to the presentation of a range of innovative ideas centered around addressing the most pressing challenges facing the country. For example, we co-created a citizen-led health agenda and presented it to political parties for adoption. Most of the political parties adopted the provision of Universal Health Coverage to citizens in their manifestos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background has-neon-background-color oneorg-block-group oneorg-block-group-impact oneorg-block-group-impact--2 has-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8ba99fe074f06cc5ea029a34e1060c1e is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.one.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/PolicyDoc_Icon_300x300-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1270\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Co-created a citizen-led health agenda and presented it to political parties for adoption.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.one.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Impact_Icon_300x300_v3-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1255\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The official campaign video reached 12.3 million Nigerians, helping them understand the issues that mattered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading no-border\" id=\"h-what-we-did\">What we did<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Official Campaign Video: <\/strong>ONE partnered with Trace Naija to create an official<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8x5T8ishKQw&amp;feature=youtu.be\"> VYF 2023 campaign video<\/a> to prod Nigerians about two key issues; job creation and health systems strengthening and ensure their electoral decision was issue-based.
