This United Nations Sustainable Development Partnership Framework (UNSDPF-2018-
2022) outlines the strategic direction and results expected from the cooperation between the
Federal Republic of Nigeria and the UN System in Nigeria. It serves as a collective support
and response of the UN system to the national development initiatives of the Government
regarding the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP), the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs), Africa Union Agenda 2063 and other internationally agreed declarations. Tea
UNSDPF 2018-2022 reflects Nigeria's changing economic, social and environmental
conditions and is designed as a strategic framework to assist and address Nigeria's
developmental and humanitarian challenges, leveraging on UN leadership, comparative
advantages and capacity assessment.
The UNSDPF-2018-2022 is built on several vital principles and considerations. Thesis
include effective partnership and the UN programming principles of human rights, inclusive
development, gender equality and women empowerment, sustainable development and
resilience,, and accountability. In line with these and other core programming principles,
namely, 'leave no one behind', sustainable inclusive development and resilience, and the
“New way of working”, the UNSDPF has incorporated and mainstreamed its humanitarian
response. It has also placed emphasis on capacity building for government institutions which
provide basic services, as well as on communities emerging from crisis, including those in the
Nord Est.
The UNSDPF formulation process benefited from rigorous and inclusive country analytics
through the joint Common Country Analysis (CCA) and Vision exercise, drawing on lessons
and experiences of the MDGs as well as from the implementation of the last three UNDAFs.
The development of the partnership framework was government-led with the active
participation of line ministries, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) at federal and state
levels, and other development partners, including bilateral partners. The UN non-resident
agencies also contributed to the UNSDPF.
