Funding and Structure

With a loan of $750 million from the World Bank, channeled through the Federal Government, SABER comprises $730 million for the Program-for-Results (PforR) and an additional $20 million for Technical Assistance. The program ensures accountability through a structured approach, with funds tied to specific Disbursement Linked Indicators (DLIs) and entry criteria (EC).

State Responsibility

States play a pivotal role in the success of SABER, as they are tasked with achieving program results and implementing the necessary reforms. Access to the $750 million loan is contingent upon states meeting entry criteria and fulfilling the prescribed DLIs, reinforcing a decentralized approach to economic development.

Building on Success

SABER is not an isolated effort but a strategic continuation of the achievements of the State Fiscal Transparency, Accountability, and Sustainability (SFTAS) Program, which ran from January 2019 to December 2022. Like its predecessor, SABER is a $750 million program, reflecting the commitment of the World Bank to support Nigeria's economic growth.
