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.
