The international non-governmental organisation is to serve as a 3rd party monitoring and evaluation agent of the National Social Investment Programmes

The National Social Investment Programmes is one of the vital tools with which President Buhari hopes to achieve one of its major goals of lifting Nigerians out of poverty
As much as the Programmes has come under scrutiny, the Ministry has continued to ensure accountability and credibility of the Programmes
One recent effort is the signing of a 1 year renewable Memorandum of Understanding with the International NGO, Save the Children International to serve as one of the 3rd party independent monitors
The Ministry had earlier kicked off the monitoring and evaluation of the projects on different levels
Beyond the 3rd party monitoring, Save the Children International will also provide support in capacity building and training for staff of the Ministry and help review the NSIP monitoring and evaluation framework.
