Case study: Nigeria power sector reform

This work was carried out under the Infrastructure and Cities for Economic Development (ICED) facility.

ICED supported DFID country offices, central teams and ODA-spending Other Government Departments to deliver DFID’s Economic Development Strategy by scaling up programming and investment in infrastructure and cities. It operated between February 2016 and July 2019.

Despite being the largest economy in Africa, Nigeria is severely constrained by low quality, decaying infrastructure and inadequate power supply.

Responding to these constraints, DFID established the Nigeria Infrastructure Advisory Facility (NIAF), a demand-driven technical assistance programme. Phase 1 ran from November 2007 to November 2011 (GBP 32.6 million). NIAF II continued the support with a budget of GBP 100.35 million until December 2016. A successor, UKNIAF, is currently in procurement.
