Disclosable Version of the ISR - Nigeria- Accelerating Nutrition Results - P162069 - Sequence No : 07 (English)

Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? [...] Progress in the achievement of Disbursement Linked Indicators for Multi-Sectoral Coordination and Accountability, evidence generation and utilization, donor mapping and coordination, contract signing with Non-State Actors (NSA) and Social and Behaviour Change Communication, are recorded with the aim of strengthening government’s stewardship role. [...] The project undertook a Mid-Term Review in May to June, 2021 with a view to reshaping the contours of the operation for more efficient implementation and enhanced operational quality. [...] The restructuring will involve a partial cancellation of resources up to US$51.87 for project sub-components that are unlikely to be implemented to an appreciable scale in the life of the project. [...] The MTR mission laid focus on a multi-decade programmatic approach as a foundation and trajectory for sustained engagement on the government’s nutrition agenda and aspiration for development of a National Nutrition Program.
