United Nations Sustainable Development Partnership Framework (UNSDPF) 2018-2022

This United Nations Sustainable Development Partnership Framework (UNSDPF), which covers the period 2018-2022, is the fourth in the series of Common Country Programme Document produced by the United Nations System in Nigeria. The document differs significantly from previous ones in several ways. These include its application of the new Standard Operating Procedure for UN coherence, the emphasis on partnerships, the focus on Sustainable Development Goals as the foundation, and its participatory formulation approach with the Nigerian Government and key stakeholders through an elaborate consultative process that upholds the principles of the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness. The Federal Republic of Nigeria and the United Nations System are, therefore, committed to working together in partnership under a fully-fledged 'Delivering as One' modality to implement UNSDPF This collaborative effort will contribute essentially to the achievement of the development goals and aspirations of Nigeria and strongly support the achievement of its developmental commitments to its people and the international community. We will act together in cognizance of this opportunity and responsibility.
