The National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies develops a country-specific manual on SDG oversight for parliamentarians in Nigeria

In Nigeria, the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies has developed a country-specific manual on SDG oversight for the Nigerian legislature.

This publication, developed with the assistance of UNDP, offers guidance to Nigerian parliamentarians in their efforts to align their daily duties with their responsibility to facilitate implementation of the SDGs. Although it references international best practices related to oversight of the SDGs, the manual is contextualized to reflect the specific rules and procedures of the Nigerian parliament. For newly elected parliamentarians, or those who have not directly participated in relevant standing committees, it introduces the SDGs and SDG indicators, outlines the constitutional basis of parliamentary oversight, and provides step-by-step guidance on utilizing oversight mechanisms.
