A roadmap framework for a circular Nigeria by 2050.

From evaluation to programme

Where the green economy transition study described the landscape, the Nigerian Circular Economy Program roadmap framework describes the route. It uses a Theory of Change, a structured statement of how activities lead to outputs, outcomes and long-term impact, to set out the strategies and activities to be carried out towards transitioning Nigeria to a circular economy in 2050.

The three outputs

1. The Roadmap Framework itself.
2. An MRV Policy Brief, covering the monitoring, reporting and verification arrangements needed to track progress transparently.
3. A Policy Brief for decision-makers.
