Energy & Transport Infrastructure Adviser

2010-04-07T05:00:01Z

NIAF’s second annual review in September 2009 recommended strengthening project management, oversight and monitoring and evaluation (M&E): “Given the broad scope and increasing number of NIAF interventions – over 100 completed interventions a year covering three sectors and serving both federal and state agencies – and the complexities of operating in the Nigerian environment, we recommend that DFID should appoint a Task Manager/Infrastructure Adviser to provide closer operational oversight of NIAF and advice on future support for infrastructure development in Nigeria. While a suitable person to staff this position may need to be recruited from outside DFID, the Task Manager should be integrated within the DfID Nigerian organization and not sub-contracted to another consulting firm. Given the size and complexity of the program, more day to day monitoring and guidance is warranted and necessary”.
NIAF has been successful to date because it is a flexible facility which allows the project service provider, ASI, to respond nimbly to a dynamic environment. However, the 2009 annual review has crystallised the need for NIAF’s flexibility to be counter-balanced by investing relatively more DFID resources in strategic policy dialogue, project management, oversight and M&E capacity. This will contribute to enhanced programme coherence and improved alignment and advocacy with other development partner efforts, especially the World Bank (a key recommendation of the IDC ). This capacity needs to be independent of the NIAF service provider to balance the relatively high level of operational autonomy that they enjoy.
