The UN has said it would commence implementation of over four billion dollars UN Sustainable Development Partnership Framework, UNSDPF, in Nigeria in 2018.
The UN Resident Humanitarian Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative, Edward Kallon, made this known yesterday at the UN Day Celebration in Abuja, noting that the scheme would be from 2018 to 2022.
Kallon said the theme of the celebration was “Concrete Action for SDGs”, adding that the scheme was to demonstrate UN’s commitment to the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs, in the country.
The resident representative said the UNSDPF was premised on SDGs principles, with clear mapping and linkages of contribution of each results area to SDGs target.
According to him, the UNSDPF 2018-2022 is the main strategic document defining the broad areas of support and assistance of the UN system to Nigeria.
He said it was a joint development and humanitarian framework for the over 20 UN agencies and organisations in Nigeria, focusing on Governance, Human Rights, Peace and Security.
