The overall objective is to support the FMBEP in strengthening existing capacities for coordination of the EU development interventions in Nigeria. Given the limited budgetary resources in carrying out the key mandates of the EU Unit of the FMBEP relevant to effective implementation of the EU– MIP for Nigeria, it is pertinent to support key activities. This objective is complementary to the economic blueprint of the current Administration, i.e the Medium Term Plans of the Nigerian Agenda 2050 are also critical in meeting the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The timing of the action is therefore relevant for facilitation the implementation of the recommendation from the review of the National Development Plan (NDP) and MIP. The proposed activities for this action will support all the thematic sectors and actions of the EU – MIP 2021 – 2027.
The specific objectives are to:

• Result 1: Strengthen understanding and the capacities of key actors involved in supporting the new modalities for implementation of the EU funded interventions programmes (national and regional).
• Result 2: Strengthen administrative systems, structures and capacity to monitor, evaluate, coordinate and report on the EU development assistance are in place.
