I strongly agree with HM @FinMinNigeria, Wale Edun — within 🇳🇬’s climate challenges lies a powerful opportunity: unlocking economic growth through #ClimateFinance. 🌱💰

Grateful to him and HM @PlanningNG, Atiku Bagudu, for joining us to launch the PACE Guide to Climate Finance at @officialNESG.

At #NES31, PACE launched the Guide to Accessing Climate Finance — a practical tool to help states, investors & businesses unlock global climate funding.

“The PACE Guide is more than a publication, it’s a catalyst for climate action.” — Cynthia Rowe, FCDO

In my column in today's @THISDAYLIVE, I submit that Nigeria needs a holistic reform on how to make its local councils more impactful, inclusive and accountable, and not just direct allocations to LGAs or more credible local elections 👇

The event, supported by the UK International Development-funded PACE programme, aimed to enhance transparency, accountability, and fiscal performance across all levels of government.

Last week, our Governance Team and @PACE_Nigeria had an insightful session with the Director General @BPP_NG to discuss improving transparency in procurement as an enabler for service delivery and economic growth.

Looking forward to future collaborations. 🇬🇧🤝🇳🇬

[Cynthia Rowe @CynthiaOMRowe]

Great to meet the @opengovpart Global team during #OpenGovWeek.

OGP provides a vital platform for collaboration between governments and civil society to improve transparency, accountability & citizen participation.

Proud that the UK supports @ogpnigeria’s progress on this, especially reforms on beneficial ownership, accountability for budgets & procurement data.

Trust is at the heart of the connection between government & its citizens. A big part of that is delivery. Absolute pleasure to see the Citizens Tracker go live. Great debate with civil society & the press. #CitizensTrackerApp @hadizabalausman @CDCUPolicyFGN in 🇬🇧🇳🇬 @perlnigeria

A major highlight of the start of the constitution review process in House of Representatives earlier this week was the engaging conversations amongst the broad range of stakeholders in the room.

From women representation to devolution of powers, there is room for optimism.
