The context
Despite strong growth rates, the economic and social situation in Nigeria remains dominated by extreme poverty and un(der)employment. Because attention is concentrated on the oil and gas industry at the expense of other economic sectors, many people work in micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in the informal sector. The GIZ programme is implementing activities in four areas: Developing the financial system, improving the business and investment climate, promoting value chains and facilitating trade.
