New Inquiry on DFID'S Programme in Nigeria
Dear All,
Nigeria is one of the largest and most populous countries in
sub-Saharan Africa. Despite oil wealth, poverty levels are high
with over 70 million people living on less than $1 a day and one in
five children dying before the age of five.
Nigeria receives relatively little development assistance per capita
(around $6) compared to the average for sub-Saharan Africa (over $20).
DFID's programme in Nigeria has increased from £35 million in 2003/04 to
£80 million in 2006/07 and to £100 million in 2007/08. Nigeria is one of
22 countries DFID will be monitoring in relation to progress towards its
2008-11 Public Service Agreement Delivery Agreement.
Issues to be addressed in the inquiry:
Governance, including regional and local governance
Rural poverty and rural livelihoods
The management of oil wealth and transparency in the industry
Basic service delivery (primary school enrolment is about 60%; Nigeria
spends only 5% of its budget on health care)
The impact of debt relief on poverty reduction
DFID's support for the electoral process and to the National Assembly
The role of civil society and DFID's support for the development
of voice
and accountability
Economic growth and the impact of DFID's programme in this area
Policy coherence in the UK Government's approach
Donor coordination
