Benefits of membership
TMG is a coalition of more than 300 NGOs and CSOs across Nigeria. Since her inception in 1998, TMG has gained repute in Nigeria, Africa and the world at large as an incisive and consistently thorough monitor of elections and democratic governance as a whole in Nigeria. Her activities have inspired and informed the formation of similar coalitions across Africa.
Some of the key benefits member organizations of TMG enjoy are:
- Partnership on issues of mutual benefits to the coalition and smaller NGOs
- Greater reach and opportunities to influence policy on a national and multinational level.
