Ngozi Iwere

Ngozi Patricia Iwere (born August 12, 1956) is a Nigerian social activist and community development specialist. She founded and directs the Community Life Project (CLP), an organization that advocates for health education and civic engagement, with a focus on HIV/AIDS prevention and women's reproductive health. She also coordinates the African Feminist Forum (AFF), a network of activists, researchers, and practitioners across Africa.

Iwere began working on HIV/AIDS issues in the late 80s and early 90s, during a time when the disease was prevalent in Africa. She identified the need for a comprehensive approach to health issues that included both men and women.

Iwere's approach involves engaging with various community sectors and using existing networks to promote health education and prevention. Her work includes organizing focus groups, educational workshops, and events with different community groups. Iwere's role in the AFF involves bringing together diverse voices to discuss women's rights and empowerment in Africa. In 2016, she received the MacArthur Foundation Award for Creative and Effective Institutions. Her work has been mentioned in publications and media outlets such as The Guardian, The Nation, and Channels TV.
