Women Arise Governing Board has approved strategic plan for 2010 to 2015 to focus on the following priority activities to advance women's democratic and fundamental rights in Nigeria.

* Encouraging Women to seek elective offices: As against the present situation,where majority of women in public offices are appointees,we will identify women with leadership potentials in the six geopolitical zones,nurture their skills and encourage them to seek elective offices especially at the local levels.We will educate the women folk to believe in themselves and give support to women standing elections,including raising funds to prosecute their campaigns.

* Women Economic Empowerment: Supporting women especially local women,to acquire skill and access to micro credits to make them less dependent and in the process acquiring the guts to speak out and demand their rights

* Information Technology Education:In the new global village,most women out of the cities do not have access to information technology (IT). We shall organize women in major towns to undergo IT education at designated centres to be managed by WA in partnership with the women group.

* Improving Skills for Women in Trade Unions: Women Arise will promote assertive skills for women in the trade unions through seminars,workshops and other enlightenment programmes; to be able to effectively function in the male dominated environment.
