Equipped Niger State's PPP Fund Management Committee with governance architecture, disbursement protocols, and screening frameworks needed to convert pipeline projects into bankable transactions.
The challenge
Niger State's PPP ambitions had outrun its operational capacity to structure, finance, and monitor PPP projects. Without a well-governed Facilitation Fund, viable projects were stalling at the pre-feasibility stage and the state could not credibly enter negotiations with private partners.
Our approach
The programme combined fund governance, financial management, and performance tracking. Content covered fund architecture, disbursement protocols, project identification and screening, risk management, and fiscal transparency. Nigerian and comparator PPP cases — successes and failures — showed how Facilitation Funds operate in practice.
What we delivered
- A draft fund management manual
- Disbursement protocols
- Project identification and screening templates
- A performance-tracking and reporting framework
- Risk management and compliance procedures for the Fund Management Committee
Outcomes
Equipped Niger State with the operational foundation to run its PPP Facilitation Fund credibly — a precondition for converting its pipeline of infrastructure opportunities into bankable, well-governed projects.
