UNDP Annual Report 2016
2016 was a remarkable year – as global events continue to influence the local socio-economic dynamics here in Nigeria, the Government and people of Nigeria remained resilient; for example, when the global oil price dropped, and the vandalism of oil installations in the Niger Delta Region led to reduced output, the economy contracted by around 1.7%.
This report highlights ways in which UNDP supported the government and people of Nigeria in 2016 and contributed towards the attainment of its long term development goals. Our work and achievements recorded during the year relied on collaboration with a wide range of partners at both State and Federal levels. These partners were key to identifying evidence-based and innovative development solutions, which made our successes possible.
