Description
From July 11–13, 2025, 290 attendees from across Africa and beyond gathered in Abuja, Nigeria, for EAGxNigeria 2025, the region's largest EA conference to date.
Designed to support community growth, deepen cause engagement, and forge collaborations, this convening represented a key milestone in building an EA community that is locally grounded, globally connected, and strategically ambitious.
As part of the global EAGx series and supported by the Centre for Effective Altruism (CEA), our event featured engaging talks, workshops, networking sessions, and community-building activities. It received outstanding feedback from local and international participants and recorded a good number of the Giving What We Can (GWWC) pledge sign-ups.
