Country Context
- Nigeria is critical to the World Bank Group’s (WBG) twin goals of eradicating global extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity. A multi-ethnic and diverse federation of 36 autonomous states, Nigeria is already Africa’s largest country, with over 200 million people, and Africa’s largest economy.

- The World Bank Office in Abuja is one of the larger country offices, with over 120 staff. The large, decentralized nature of the program, and growing insecurity makes for a challenging operating context.
- A Country Management Team composed of the Country Director, the Operations Manager, two Senior Operations Officers, and several Engagement Leaders meets on a weekly basis to actively monitor implementation and provide strategic and operational guidance to the task teams.
