Hope Governance Program Allocates $27M for State Performance
The Hope Governance Program has approved a total of $27 million for states that have successfully met Year Zero disbursement results, as disclosed by Dr. Assad Hassan, the National Coordinator of the program, during a retreat in Abuja. The disbursement is contingent upon states achieving specific performance indicators, which are assessed by an interim independent verification agent.
States such as Bayelsa, Borno, Kano, and Kebbi will receive $1.5 million each for achieving certain indicators, while Adamawa, Delta, Gombe, Kano, Plateau, Taraba, and Yobe will receive $500,000 for their accomplishments. The program aims to enhance public finance management and citizen engagement in budgeting for basic education and primary healthcare by March 31, 2025.
The initiative is supported by the World Bank and focuses on incentivizing states to adopt comprehensive guidelines for budget preparation.
