1. Major political events Nigeria is a federal democracy based on three tiers of government – federal, state and local governments. It currently maintains a 36-state federal structure in addition to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and 774 Local Governments.
Efforts to routinize electoral democracy have been periodically undermined by the incessant incursion of the military into governance, whereby Nigeria has been under military rule for 30 out of the last 47 years of its post-independence life. The return to civil rule in May 1999 rekindled hopes that a stable democratic order is on the horizon.
April 2007 saw Nigeria conduct its third successive election since the return to constitutional rule which has ensured transfer of power from one civilian president to another at the national level and the emergence of many newly elected governors at the state level. Although the elections have been widely regarded as flawed, lacking in credibility, freedom and fairness, Nigerians have demonstrated their abiding faith in the constitutional process with aggrieved candidates and political parties seeking redress at the various election tribunals. Notably, the country’s two largest opposition parties, the ANPP led by former Head of State General Muhammadu Buhari, and the Action Congress (AC) of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar have instituted legal processes challenging the results of the elections at the election tribunals.
Proceedings of the election tribunals are being keenly observed by the general public, The tribunals have so far annulled and requested for the re-run of Governorship election in six of the 36 states of the federation, while the apex court has ordered the outright removal of governors in two states – Anambra and Rivers. Meanwhile, President Yar’Adua has publicly acknowledged some of the electoral flaws and has severally affirmed to allow the rule of law to prevail, previously, he tried unsuccessfully to put in place a Government of National Unity as a means of assuaging the ill-feelings arising from the elections.
There are strong indications that the emerging democratic context in Nigeria provides an opportunity for addressing the numerous problems facing the country. For instance, President Olusegun Obasanjo who handed over power in May 2007 initiated a series of wide ranging economic and political reforms. The momentum for economic reform has continued under Nigeria’s new administration. Since taking office, the administration has embarked on the process of harmonizing its principal strategy documents: including the Presidents 7 Point Agenda, Vision 20-20 and the draft PRSP II, into one comprehensive development policy framework.
Nigeria signed the Paris Declaration on Aid effectiveness in 2007. In line with the spirit of the Paris Declaration the UNCT held off the preparation of its second United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAFII), in order to align this with the preparation and harmonization of Nigeria’s development policy framework. Summary on progress towards UNDAF outcomes
3. Highlights on progress towards UNDAF outcomes Important advances were registered in the course of 2007 in each of the UNDAF Outcomes, some of which we highlight here for illustrative purposes more details of which are available in the 2007 Results Table located in the Annexe. Progress towards UNDAF-I outcomes achieved over the course of 2007, is indicative of the important steps being taken towards the achievement of operational and programmatic coherence within the UN system.
Overall, significant contributions were recorded as a result of plans developed and in many cases implemented by clusters of UN Agencies in the areas of Health, Education, Gender and the fight against HIV and AIDS amongst others. In the area of Health, 2007 saw the UN make a major contribution to the increase in routine vaccination coverage (DPT3) from 37.5% by December 2005 to 69% by December 2007. Important advances were also recorded in the area polio eradication, the work of the UN making a significant contribution to the 80% reduction in the wild polio virus burden recorded in 2007 compared to beginning of 2006.
In the area of Governance, 2007 saw the UN support the first report on the State of Human Rights in Nigeria published by the Nigerian Human Rights Commission based on the outcome of the Human Rights Monitoring exercise conducted in 2006. Furthermore, the UN provided assistance that was instrumental in facilitating the passage of the Bill on Public Procurement into law by Nigeria’s legislative arm thus establishing a statutory framework for public procurement.
In the area of Gender, the UN provided significant support to the development, finalization and launching of the National Gender Policy launched in May 2007. Extensive technical support was similarly provided to the development of Nigeria’s 6th Country CEDAW Report presented to UN committee on CEDAW.
In addition to the above, in the area of upstream policy advice, the UN system jointly supported the Federal Ministry of Health to develop its Integrated Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (IMNCH) strategy. Similar support was provided in support of the development of the National Population Action Plan, the National Policy on School Health and the mainstreaming HIV and AIDS and Gender into development and poverty reduction documents.
Building upon the ‘lessons learned’ from UNDAF I, establishing closer linkages between UN reforms and common country programming has been a central theme in the plans being developed for the operationalization of UNDAF II. As noted above, the establishment of the PMT represents the first major organizational innovation developed by the UNCT, towards the implementation of the programmatic dimension of the UN reform.
The second major organizational innovation, endorsed by Nigeria’s UNCT in the context of Nigeria’s UNDAF preparation, is the concept of Strategic Program Frameworks (SPF’s). The basic idea behind the SPF is that, the implementation of programmes, clustered around each of the four thematic areas of UNDAF II, described above, be centrally managed and monitored on by small inter-agency teams.
Summary on progress in UN Reform
2. Highlights on progress in UN Reform Over the course of 2007, the UN in Nigeria concentrated upon the adoption of the key recommendations contained in the 2007 TCPR. In this regard a number of important advances have been recorded, described in more detail below.
2.1. Alignment with National Development Process and UN support to key elements of Nigeria’s Development Policy Framework As noted above, in aligning the preparation of our second UNDAF with that of Nigeria’s second PRSP, also known as the National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS), the UNCT sought to strategically position the weight of the UN’s developmental support to Nigeria. On one hand, alignment enabled the UNCT to contribute ‘as ONE’ to the development of the NEEDS II document, including inter alia the provision of a consolidated UN review and assessment of the draft NEEDS II document. On the other hand, closer alignment has enabled us to focus more of our development assistance from 2009, on Nigeria’s stated national priorities in which the UNCT’s has a demonstrated comparative advantage.
In terms of implementation support, the UN provided technical assistance in a number of MDG reporting related activities including: supporting efforts to capture, refine and package MDG related data; providing training for the team of national experts who conducted Nigeria’s MDG NEEDS assessment; and assisting in the preparation of the 2006 MDG Report.
2.2. Capacity Development and Aid Coordination and Effectiveness Capacity development lies at the core of the UN’s program and policy support to Nigeria’s Federal and State level governments, instances of which are detailed in the Results and use of Funds tables in the next section. The UN has continued to lead the Donor Coordination efforts around Avian Influenza and HIV and AIDS and in so doing, has played a key role in both advocacy and resource mobilization, detailed in the next section.
2.3. Highlights in UN Coordination in Nigeria 2.3.1. Common Country Programming 2007 saw the UN in Nigeria take an important step towards the goal of ‘Delivering as ONE’, with the setting up of an inter-agency Program Management Team (PMT). Reporting to the UNCT, the PMT serves as the central body of the UN in Nigeria for the planning and monitoring development policy and programmatic collaboration across resident and non-resident agencies. Under the guidance of the UNCT, the PMT was tasked with the preparation of UNDAF II. As part of the UNDAF preparation process, and with support from UNDGO, the PMT trained over 80 senior UN program staff and government counterparts in Results Based Management and the Human Rights Based approach.
The draft UNDAF is set to be presented to the government for review at the beginning of 2008, UNDAF II is set to anchor the bulk of the UN’s programmatic work in Nigeria from 2009 to 2012. Given the wide range of Federal and State level actors and the complexity of Nigeria’s policy environment, the UNCT committed to maintaining the highest standards of participation and inclusiveness in the preparation of the UNDAF. No effort has been spared in ensuring that, as the UN’s collective response to Nigeria’s development challenges, our next UNDAF aligns with both Nigeria’s core developmental aspirations. The four areas chosen include: Governance and Accountability; Productivity and Employment; Social Service Delivery; and Conflict and Insecurity, reflecting the thematic areas covered in the UNDAF II Results Matrices.
2.3.2. Common Services & Premise & Harmonized Cash Transfers 2007 saw progress in the area of Commons Services & Premise. Achievements include: the streamlining of the management of the UN common premise; the UN wide harmonization of pay scales for Consultants; and the completion of the process of setting up one Common UN Travel Service provider in UN House. Prospects for even closer integration of our common operating systems and platforms in the areas of IT, Finance and Procurement in 2008, are strong, following the establishment of UN-wide networks in these business functions. The UN-HACT Committee is in the process of being expanded while; the first steps are underway to constitute a National HACT Committee that will oversee the conduct of the macro assessment, scheduled for early 2008.
2.3.3. Inter-agency groups and Joint Programmes Over the course of 2007, the Inter-Agency UN Communication Group (UNCG) undertook a range of an unprecedented range of activities on behalf of the UN system. Activities undertaken this year included the launching of a monthly UN Newsletter; the organization of events around last years International Women’s; UN and World AIDS day’s; and the preparation and implementation of Standard Operational Procedures by all agencies for the management of media relations; The UNCG was instrumental in organizing for the production of a range of media events and products including press briefings, print and TV media coverage and special newspaper supplements on behalf of the UN system.
The Joint UN Theme Group on HIV and AIDS is composed of Heads of UN Agencies and senior staff working on HIV and AIDS related issues throughout the organization. The Theme Group acts as a Steering Committee for the UN’s work in this area and reports to the UNCT. The Joint UN Team on AIDS is the operational arm of the Joint Theme Group and is made up technical staff drawn from across the UN system. 2007 saw the development of the UN Joint Program of support on HIV AIDS, which provided a framework for the pooling of funds and the rationalising of management structures in the 6 targeted states that the UN in Nigeria works on. 2007 also saw the JUNTA support the development of a number of State Strategic Plans, in addition to providing technical support to the elaboration of the National workplan on HIV and AIDS.
The UN Learning Team on HIV and AIDS (UNLT) falls under the umbrella of the Joint UN Theme Group on HIV and AIDS. UNLT conducted a series of important activities over the course of 2007. Supported by a cadre of Condom Focal Points drawn from throughout the UN system, the UNLT organized a number of both peer education related, training and Training of Trainer activities in the course of 2007, targeting UN staff and their families.
The Joint Program in Taraba seeks to empower returnees and other communities in Sarduana Local Government in Taraba State, by designing and putting in place a series of Rights-based interventions. 2007 saw the endorsement of the Joint Program Document that put in place the programmatic framework under which a number of activities were carried out. Key aspects of the proposed 2008 workplan
The 2008 workplan will build up on the achievements and take into account the challenges outlined in the body of this report. Recommendations
4. Conclusion To conclude, I would like to thank and commend members of the UNCT and the rest of our UN Colleagues for their tremendous support and hard work over the course of 2007. As noted in the body of the letter, the UN in Nigeria has made important strides in the direction of delivering as ONE in a number of areas. This, alongside the dedication and hard work of all our colleagues both in Nigeria and beyond, has set the stage for significant improvements in the coherence and focus of our operational activities, taking us a step closer to delivering as ONE.
I would like, on behalf of the UNCT to thank the UN family and Head quarters in New York for its continued support and assistance l look forward to ongoing cooperation over the coming year.

UN support to the national response to AIDS through strengthening the Three Ones *
|
UN Institutional Support Plan for the National Action Committee on AIDS - NACA |
"M&E work plan developed and NNRIMS reports sunmitted National HIV/AIDS procurement and logistics management system developed and made operational Strengthened health Round 5 Global Fund implementedrequirement NACA’s financial management system strengthened & delivery rates of NACA funded programmes increased NACA’s human resource management system improved Coordination of national AIDS response strengthened by implementation of domestciated GTT
|
- The NNRIMS Operational Plan has been developed to facilitate implementation of the third one of the Three Ones – One M&E System. Preparatory work has started to cost the plan. In addition, States have been supported to produce quarterly M&E updates to inform policy formulation and programme implementation. So far 13 States are consistently reporting.
- Technical support was provided to the CCM to develop a sound proposal to the Global Fund Round 5. The proposal was successful and has been funded to the tune of US$180m for 5 years. This is commendable coming against a background of cancellation of the Round I phase II GFATM grant to Nigeria.
- The UNTG developed a comprehensive Technical Support Plan for NACA. The plan elaborates support in the following areas: M&E, Coordination, Procurement and Financial Management. The plan was developed in response to NACA’s needs.
- The UNTG has supported elaboration of State Strategic Plans in 4 of the six UNTG supported states – Taraba, Ondo, Kaduna and Edo. In all these SSPs, Universal Access has been integrated. The SSPs are the basis for harmonization and alignment of development partner support to state response priorities.
UNTG has supported the Joint MTR of the NSF and a 2008 to 2009 Priority Action Plan for the last 2 years of the NSF. The Priority Action Plan is to facilitate alignment of development partner support to nationally defined priorities in line with the GTT Recommendations. |

HIV/AIDS in the Workplace
|
UN work place programme on HIV/AIDS implemented |
Number of staff accessing dispensary for treatment & support, condoms machine installed in bathrooms & number of condoms accessed, number of ongoing training sessions for staff & volunteers, agencies cost funding of work place programme |
In the spirit of greater and meaningful involvement of PLHIV an HIV positive person was recruited to coordinate the UN workplace programme. The UNTG mobilized resources within the system to support the post. The contributions of the officer have compelled the UNTG to mobilize additional resources to extend the contract for another year
Organised an HIV and AIDS knowledge fair for children and spouses of UN staff
Distributed 50,400 pieces of condoms to staff and family members. To facilitate access to condoms, 18 male condom dispensers have been installed in all bathrooms in the UN House in Abuja. Capacity of 35 staff in behavioural change communication (BCC) has been developed through training. IEC materials eg posters were developed and widely distributed to complement the BCC training. As part of World AIDS Day Commemoration, the UNLT mobilized staff to know their HIV sero-status. A total of 97 staff (52 male and 45 female) were tested and 4 tested positive. |

|
UNCG dropped the idea of producing calendars, caps and T-shirts, as it considered costly and ineffective.
Key messages were developed for International Women Day, UN Day, World AIDS Day.
All three UN Commemorations were duly observed. This year’s International Women’s Day was celebrated on March 7 at the UN House. There were two events; celebration at the UN House (9-12pm) and the Joint Press/Media Briefing at the Rock-view Hotels (12.30- 2pm) with Federal Ministry of Women Affairs represented by the Permanent Secretary Dr. Safiya Mohammed; NTA, AIT, DBN, FRCN, NAN, This Day Newspaper, The Guardian Newspaper, and all the Heads of Agency including the RC, participated in the two events. The RC, UNIFEM RPD and the UNICEF Director represented the UN during the Joint Press Briefing at the
Rock-View Hotels. The UN Communication Group coordinated and facilitated the programme and prepared the speech and the talking points for the RC which he used for the Joint Press Briefing.
The UN Day was also celebrated with a series of event: a. a media dialogue on the MDGs b. the commemoration with representative from Civil Society in collaboration with the Global Campaign Againt Poverty c. a visit to the Millennium village d. a special supplement of 4 pages in This Day newspaper on the work of the UN and the MDGs e. Exhibition and publication stand on the UN Day at the UN House f. RC and other Head of Agency were invited for programmes on TV/Radio All activities, briefs and agenda were developed by the UNCG while a consultant was recruited to produce the 4-page supplement.
The world AIDS Day was commemorated with the Government – so mostly the UNCG gave technical support for the activities organized by the Government. Staff took part in a walk for HIV-AIDS prevention on November 30.
UN Agencies did not require support from the UNCG.
Not done. It has not been clear who is in charge of the website since the website was created without the support or the involvement of the UNCG. UNCG recommended that a consultant would be hired to be in charge of such task as it need regular attention and
A revised media kit covering the activities of all UN agencies in Nigeria with a focus on awareness-raising of MDGs was produced and distributed during the UN Week.
Only about 80 copies were produced due to late finalization of the content – it was not possible to send it to a printer. The concept note was not developed.
Campaign not conducted – however support was given to the Global Campaign Against Poverty for the Stand up -Speak out day.
The UNCG held a media workshop on MDG reporting at Abeokuta as part of the UN Week. A total of 35 leading journalists from print and audio/visual media organisations participated in it.
UNCG produced a special newspaper supplement for UN Day and World AIDS Day, on MDGs which was carried in a major national daily and a weekly magazine. Also articles on HIV-AIDS were produce and published for the World AIDS Day on HIV-AIDS.
RC was involved in media programme or media interviews for the International Women Day and the UN Week. The UNIC director spoke in a TV programme on the International Day of Peace, and gave TV, radio and newspaper interviews on the occasions of “Stand up against Poverty” campaign, media workshop on MDGs, UN Day and Human Rights Day.
One press briefing and one media dialogue were conducted for the International Women Day and the UN Week
media visit were arranged to the Millenium village as well as to UNFPA, UNICEF and FAO project site and more than 8 stories were published. The RC participated in the visit to the Millennium Village in Pampaida and widely covered by the media.
The UNCG launched a UN Newsletter covering the activities in the country of all UN agencies “delivering as One”. It was produced every month with contribution from all agencies. |

Results |
Recommendations to DGO |
| 1. The UN in Nigeria has invested in the development of new tools, in the context of the formulation of its new UNDAF, to better embed UNDAF Results into the individual Agency Programs. For each of our four results matrices, the UN is devising a Strategic Program Framework (SPF).
SPFs are an intermediate layer between the results (outcomes and outputs) in the UNDAF matrices and agency-specific country programme documents, biennium programmes or projects and joint programmes. This intermediate layer is intended to provide details on the specific operational arrangements, through which the UNCT plans to achieve results in each of the four strategic priority areas
To be sure, the SPF will detail exactly how the UNCT will pull together and organize the technical and financial capabilities of its constituent agencies to ensure that outputs are achieved and progress is made towards agency outcomes.
2. 2007 saw the setting up of an inter-agency Program Management Team (PMT). Reporting to the UNCT, the PMT serves as the central body of the UN in Nigeria for the planning and monitoring of development policy and programmatic collaboration across all agencies. Under the leadership of the UNCT, the PMT has played a key role in the formulation of the UNDAF.
|
Transaction costs: | 1. The SPF concept has been developed to avoid two major problems that have cropped up in the implementation of many UNDAFs: first, that, from a programmatic standpoint, agencies tend to end up going their own way after the UNDAF is formulated with the exception of participation in a few, relatively modest, joint programmes; and, second, that there is usually a lack of reflection in the UNDAF on the challenges facing the UNCT in achieving results and its ideas for addressing them. The consequence of these shortcomings is usually fragmentation, a diffused identity and, ultimately, ineffective development performance.
2. High coordination costs for common programming and the risk of a rapid loss of institutional memory built up in the course of the common country programming process |
Lessons gained from the roadtesting of the new UNDAF guidlines should be captured. While an important step in the right direction, the new guidlines still require more elaboration with regards to operational arrangements underpinning the Results statements.
Countries could usefully be provided with a 'institutional space' within which to share and learn from programmatic innovations and adaptations evolved at country level.
|
| Achievements: | 1. SPFs are intended to complement existing arrangements and expected benefits including a stronger common accountability framework for results and a clearer delineation of roles and resposibilities in the implementation process.
2. Lowering of coordination costs and a more equitable spread of programming responsiblities across staff and agencies. |
| Lessons learned: | - Sustained investments in training, targeting a small but competent number of CO staff in Common Programming tools has a very high rate of return.
- When in doubt about how to proceed with the operationalization of the guidlines: improvise, improvise, improvise!
- Balance the need to forge a small and cohesive team of senior program officers under the auspices of the RC Unit, for the purpose of bringing the various parts of the UNDAF formulation process together, with the need to have a broader institutional structures (e.g. a PMT) fostering a culture of inclusiveness in the preparation and review of the Results. |
2008 Workplan
| UNDAF Outcomes |
| 1. Strengthened national capacity to ensure access to quality health care systems for all Nigerians | |
| 2. People empowered through education | |
| 3. Institutional capacity built to plan, implement and manage multi-sectoral strategies at both national and sub national levels to limit the spread of HIV/AIDS and mitigate its social and economic impact on poor people and women and children. | |
| 4. Strengthened national capacity to plan, monitor and coordinate national development; promote human rights, particularly for women; promote democratic processes and accountability in governance, and promote peace and respond to emergencies | |
| 5. Enhanced capacity for national production and productivity for agriculture, industry and services | |
