As of 2019, Nigeria became the country with the highest number of extremely poor people in the world. Nigeria is also home to one of the very highest number of malnourished children in the world. One in every three children under the age of five grows up physically too short for their age (i.e. clinically stunted) as a result of chronic malnutrition, while around two million children are too thin for their age (clinically wasted), as a result of severe acute malnutrition. Nigeria also has one of the worst levels of human capital development in the world, ranked 152 out of 157 countries in 2018, reflecting very poor indicators in terms of survival, nutrition and education. As a result, it is estimated that "a child born in Nigeria today will be 34 percent as productive when she grows up as she could be if she enjoyed complete education and full health." This situation has been made worse by the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to World Bank estimates, Nigeria will be among the three countries that will experience the greatest increase in the number of people experiencing extreme poverty due to COVID-19. An estimated 5million people are expected to fall into extreme poverty in 2020 alone. Beyond increasing monetary poverty, COVID-19 has also led to a rise in the number of people at risk of food insecurity and malnutrition. According to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the number of people at risk in West Africa alone could increase from 17 million to 50 million between June and August 2020. In view of this, the government of Nigeria sees and continues to prioritize social protection as a key strategy of responding to poverty, shocks and vulnerability. In 2017 government through the Ministry of Finance Budget and National Planning developed and approved the National Social Protection Policy and has continued to increase funding and support to Social Protection Sector. The NSPP provides the overall strategic framework and guidance for implementation of social protection in Nigeria across different MDA`s. The Implementation of the policy commenced in 2017 and every three years, the policy should be reviewed. As such the MFBNP has officially launched the process to review the policy. The main objective of the review will be to accommodate some emerging issues and lessons learnt from the last 3 years of implementation. More specifically, the current National Protection policy document (2017-2020) deserves a review for the following reasons: Nigeria needs to see COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to strengthen her social protection programmes as well as intervention strategies to accommodate all relevant actors and sectors of the social protection. There is need to further define the roles and responsibilities of key players particularly with the emergence of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development. There is also need to revisit the method of data capturing of the poor and vulnerable to provide for a comprehensive peculiarities of Nigeria typology and demography; There are global emerging issues that require social protection interventions. The review also presents an opportunity to strengthen and clarify the implementation arrangements of the policy which will include development of a costed plan, M&E framework and coordination strategy. To support the review of the policy, the Ministry Finance of Budget and National Planning have set up a multi-sectoral technical working group. The major role of the TWG is to undertake the review and ensure that all planned activities and relevant stakeholders are engaged. To support the TWG and the review process an external consultant will be recruited. The following ToR describe the key expectations of this consultancy.
