WSSSRP will be implemented at Federal level and in six focal states. In line with the Financial Agreement, a total budget of Euro 119.63 million for WSSSRP will be provided as follows:
|
European Commission (EC)
|
Euro 87.0 million
|
|
FGN, States, LGAs and Communities
|
Euro 31.43 million
|
|
UNICEF
|
Euro 1.2 million
|
However, there is no pre-allocation of funds between the six states as more resources will be directed to those states which demostrate commitment to improve overall governance and introduce reforms in order to deliver services and reduce poverty.
