What is the CGS?
• Conditional – States and Local
Governments can only benefit if they meet
certain conditions, including providing
matching funding
• Grants – funds are transferred directly to
State and Local Governments to implement
projects
• Scheme – focused on the MDGs and
appropriated annually in the Federal budget
under the Debt Relief Gains

Implementation Stages of the CGS
1.
2.
Call for Applications: Provides the framework, focal
sectors and timeline for CGS implementation
Application: States apply for funding in MDGs-related
sectors
•
•
•
•
3.
Evaluation: Two sets of criteria for evaluating
applications
•
•
4.
Project level to ensure well-designed, costed interventions
State-level to ensure the institutional capacity to implement
and monitor projects
Selection: Funds are allocated to States and projects
that score highest in the evaluation
•
12/17/2012
Flexibility to design interventions reflecting their own priorities
and challenges, ensuring ownership
Implementation through existing institutions and strategic
plans
They are guided by the CGS Implementation Manual
Training of State officials
Provided States have effectively implemented previous CGS
Millennium Development Goals: Putting People First

Stages of the CGS
5. Disbursement: Successful States are invited to meet
pre-disbursement requirements
• Matching Counterpart funding requirement makes the CGS
a truly joint activity and allows States to take ownership of
projects
• Memorandum of Understanding to ensure commitment to
deliver and sustain the project
• Bank Guarantee to protect Federal funds and ensure
implementation to a strict timeline
6. M&E: Comprehensive Monitoring & Evaluation
• Independent M&E framework involving an innovative
combination of professional experts and civil society
• States’ own M&E systems
• Oversight function of the National Assembly

CGS Consolidation - 2010
• 2010 CGS was taken as a year of consolidation and no
direct grants were to be given to States and Local
Governments
• This reflected the need to align the CGS with the budget
cycle and for States to ensure completion of 2009
projects
• The opportunity was taken to undertake analysis and
planning activities, including a review of CGS
performance from 2007 to date
• Essential logistics, support systems and baseline data
were put in place for the scale-up of the CGS to Local
Governments
12/17/2012

Extending Engagement to LGAs
• Building on the successes of the State track of the CGS
by providing grants for integrated investments focused
on specific LGAs
• Responding to observed weaknesses in the service
delivery chain that prevent access to essential services
– from National Assembly oversight feedback
– from Monitoring & Evaluation reports
• Empowering LGAs to fulfil their constitutional
responsibilities for primary healthcare and education –
CGS intervention will focus on Health and Education
sectors
• Facilitating deeper involvement of communities in
local development through Local Government
12/17/2012
Millennium Development Goals: Putting People First
25
Objectives of CGS to LGAs
1. Increasing investment in the MDGs at the
Local Government level
2. Supporting and empowering Local
Governments to achieve improved service
delivery
3. Strengthening intergovernmental
collaboration and coordination between
Federal, State and Local Government
12/17/2012
Millennium Development Goals: Putting People First
26
Proposed Approach to the CGS to LGAs
• Using the lessons of the CGS
– Encouraging a focus on the MDGs and the scale-up of interventions
– Flexibility to local priorities and processes
– Using existing institutions to generate ownership and sustainability,
and to contribute to broader reform
– Competition between States for funds can leverage better processes
and planning
– Peer review can share important lessons and accelerate
implementation
– Obtaining feedback and input from Governors at NEC
• Alongside the experiences of the UN Millennium Villages Project
– Integrated investments can have a large and rapid impact on the
MDGs (within three years)
– Specific interventions in certain sectors have proven their ability to
make an impact and can be easily replicated
– Tracking of progress through data management allows fine-tuning of
interventions and clear assessment of impact

MDGs Needs Assessment
Objectives
• The Needs Assessment uses existing data available at the Federal,
State and Local Government levels to estimate the activities and
resources required in a Local Government to accelerate progress
towards the MDGs.
• For example, for Goal 2 the number of classrooms, number of
teachers, number of textbooks, etc., and their cost.
• This information will inform the preparation by Local Governments
of an MDGs-consistent plan and the grant application under the
CGS to Local Governments.
• In addition, the needs assessment is intended to strengthen State
and LGA officials’ understanding of data about their localities and
build their capacity in planning, data analysis and costing.
12/17/2012

35
MDGs Needs Assessment
Methodology and Tools
• Four sectors were covered, namely:
– Health,
– Education,
– Agriculture and
– Water & Sanitation.
• Additional sectors may be covered in future exercises.
• Data collection sheets were provided to State and Local
Government officials in advance to source and collate
relevant data. Federal costing experts then spent two
weeks with the State and Local Governments verifying and
inputting the data.

MDGs Needs Assessment
Methodology and Tools
• A user-friendly interface was designed to ensure that civil
servants without technical knowledge of Microsoft Excel
could participate in and engage with the exercise.
• The needs assessment and costing models used to analyse
the data were adapted versions of Nigeria’s national tools
which were developed over the period 2006-2009.
• Unit costs were sourced from various organizations’
experience in implementing interventions, and where
possible were localized.

MDGs Baseline Facility Inventory
Methodology & Tools
• The sectors covered in the Baseline Facility Inventory are
Health, Education, Water & Sanitation, Agriculture, and Local
Government Management
• Survey instruments were designed in collaboration with key
policy MDAs at the Federal level, drawing on existing
instruments supplied by the NBS, NpopC, UBEC and NPHCDA
• The technology for data collection and reporting is not
traditional paper reporting, but data entry into an Android
smartphone

MDGs Baseline Facility Inventory
• This ensures:
– (i) clean data entry,
– (ii) rapid data reporting over GSM networks,
– (iii) reduced costs in data management and analysis, and
– (iv) additional features, including photograph and GPS location
capture.
• Fieldwork is executed by a team of Federal, State and LGA staff in
all 113 Local Governments. The Federal staff are drawn from
experienced enumerators in NBS, NpopC, UBEC and NPHCDA.
• This also ensures that the lessons of the activity can be
disseminated to other survey work conducted by these and other
agencies, including the School Census and database of primary
healthcare facilities.

Malaria and Anthropometric Assessment
General objectives
• To enable an assessment of the effect of anti-malarial
interventions on malaria outcomes and impact indicators in
the LGAs
Specific objectives
• To determine the baseline prevalence of malaria parasitemia
in project LGAs and non-project comparison LGAs.
• To determine the baseline prevalence of anemia in project
LGAs and non-project comparison LGAs.
• To estimate coverage of the key malaria control interventions
(ACT, ITNs, IRS and IPT) in project LGAs and non-project
comparison LGAs.
• Covering 7 of the 113 (intervention) LGAs and 7 outside the
113 (comparison) LGAs.

Conclusion
• The CGS approach has:
– Empowered States and LGAs to fulfil their constitutional
responsibilities for primary healthcare and education
– Facilitated deeper involvement of communities in local
development through Local Governments and States
– Improved collaboration (Federal, State and LGAs) in
service delivery and the alignment of development
planning
– Ensured ownership of projects and alignment of
investments with State development agendas
(improved sustainability and maintenance of projects)
– Had considerable success in promoting achievement of
the MDGs at State level and LGA Levels

Conclusion
• The CGS has improved partnership between Federal MDAs
in data generation and information management as well as
developing deeper institutional partnerships with our
International Development Partners
• The detailed Needs Assessment and Baseline results as
well as integrated data management systems will
• Provide real-time feedback to States and LGs to adjust
and improve primary services
• Leverage additional resources from States and LGs
• The 2011 CGS to States is also ready to launch as soon as
the 2011 budget is completed
