Background
Following the Millennium Declaration in the year 2000, many countries have been encouraged by the UNDP to imbibe the innovative idea of MDGs-based planning in the implementation of their development strategies. That MDGs-based planning is taking root in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) in the fight against poverty is evidenced in a number of SSA countries, including Nigeria, that have recently undertaken MDGs Needs Assessment (or costing) as a basis for scaling up public investments in social and physical infrastructure.
The National Costing Expert will be mandated with the duty of not only training relevant staff of MDAs in selected UNDP/UNDAF states and Federal Government selected LGs for CGS scale up but to also produce high quality needs assessment/costing of specific policies, projects and programs to achieve the MDGs. The needs assessment/costing will be used as a basis for preparing the States and Local Government’s development plans, while also informing the annual budgets and Medium Term Sector Strategies at the sub-national level.
Job Duties and Responsibilities
The incumbent will assist the specific Ministries of education, health, infrastructure, food security, gender equality and environment at the State/LG level to develop MDG based needs assessments, including costing based on the states’ version of the NV 20:2020 framework, the States version of the 1st National Implementation Plan (2010-2013) and other state planning documents.
The specific functions include the following;
• Identify the most relevant methodologies globally available to help the States/LGs line ministries identify the set of interventions necessary, and the requisite resources needed to achieve the MDGs by 2015.
