Sustainable development nigeria un sign sign five year agreement
You're referring to the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Nigeria's commitment to achieving them.
In 2015, the UN General Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which consists of 17 SDGs aimed at ending poverty, protecting the planet, and ensuring that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Nigeria, like many other countries, has committed to achieving these goals by 2030.
In 2019, Nigeria signed a five-year agreement with the UN to support the implementation of the SDGs in the country. The agreement, known as the "Nigeria-UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (2020-2025)," outlines the country's priorities and commitments to achieving the SDGs.
The framework focuses on five key areas:
- Economic Transformation: Nigeria aims to promote economic growth, reduce poverty, and improve the business environment.
- Social Development: The country aims to improve education, healthcare, and social protection, as well as promote social inclusion and equality.
- Environmental Sustainability: Nigeria aims to protect the environment, promote sustainable natural resource management, and address climate change.
- Good Governance: The country aims to strengthen institutions, promote transparency and accountability, and improve public services.
- Humanitarian and Crisis Response: Nigeria aims to respond to humanitarian crises, protect vulnerable populations, and promote disaster risk reduction and management.
The agreement also outlines the roles and responsibilities of the Nigerian government, the UN, and other stakeholders in implementing the SDGs. It also provides for regular monitoring and evaluation of progress towards achieving the goals.
Some of the key targets and indicators for Nigeria's SDG implementation include:
- SDG 1: No Poverty: Reduce poverty by 50% by 2025 and ensure that all Nigerians have access to basic services like healthcare and education.
- SDG 2: Zero Hunger: Ensure that all Nigerians have access to sufficient and nutritious food by 2025.

- SDG 13: Climate Action: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2025 and promote sustainable natural resource management.
