NIGERIA ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS FINAL REPORT
In 1999, the Africa Bureau approved the USAID/Nigeria two-year Transition Country Strategic Objective. This was approved without adherence to the Automated Directives System (ADS) environmental assessment requirements due to its short timeframe. An extension, until December 2003, of the Transition Strategic Plan was approved in May 2001, with the condition that an environmental assessment now be completed due to the longer term (two to four years) nature of the strategy. This document supports that process by providing a broad overview of threats facing the environment in Nigeria, based on available data and interviews with expert informants within and outside the Mission. Although this document presents the relative severity of the threats facing each sector, these need not necessarily dictate environmental priorities and assistance strategies. Similarly, the opportunities section of this assessment is provided for a broad range of parties who might be interested in addressing environmental threats in Nigeria. Afr - 118/119 Report - Nigeria under USAID Contract No. LAG-I-00-99-00013-00 Biodiversity and Sustainable Forestry (BIOFOR) Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) Prepared in 2002.
