Adebanke Akinrimisi

In the early part of her career, Banke was a recipient of the MacArthur Foundation Fund for Leadership Development through which she executed a research project on the socio-cultural, economic and legal dimensions to the sexual and reproductive health and rights of female adolescent domestic workers in municipal Lagos. The research sought to investigate how best to reach young adolescents with reproductive health information. The outcome of the research was the basis for the establishment of the Centre for Women’s Health and Information (CEWHIN), a not-for-profit organisation that she co-founded in 2003.
Banke has a wide range of experience in research, policy review, policy development and analysis, social project development and implementation, monitoring and evaluation etc. She has offered consultancy services to different organisations (including government agencies, local and international development organisation) in the areas of training, research, resource development with special focus on human rights, women’s health and gender equality
