''This Civic Space Strategy was drafted by Amy Oyekunle and Iheoma Obibi ((Mylid
Company Limited, Lagos, Nigeria) with support from Oxfam in Nigeria and Oxfam
Novib after due consultations with key stakeholders led by Henry Ushie. Some of

Bako and Bettina Huber - for their unflinching support, for dedicating their time and
expertise, and for sharing their reflection and advice despite the difficult
circumstances imposed by the COVID-crisis.'’
