State Accountability, Transparency and Effectiveness (State2State) Activity

The overall goal of S2S is to increase the effectiveness, accountability and transparency of selected state and local governments (LGAs) in Nigeria.

This will be achieved by strengthening systems to improve the delivery of services in key sectors (basic education, primary health care, and water, sanitation and hygiene - WASH); increasing the efficiency of key governance operations (with a focus on public financial management [PFM] and procurement, as well as monitoring and evaluation); increasing governments responsiveness to citizen needs and priorities; and improving government and civil society capacity to manage conflict.

State2State builds on and expands the Missions currently ongoing Leadership, Empowerment, Advocacy and Development (LEAD, 2009-2017) activity, implemented by RTI.
