The USAID Nigeria State Accountability Transparency and Effectiveness (State2State) Activity is supporting the Sokoto State government in developing the 2025-2027 Medium Term Sector Strategy (MTSS) for priority sectors including Health, Education, and Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH). 

The MTSS will serve as a comprehensive roadmap for achieving sector-specific goals and objectives over a three-year period, by ensuring efficient resource alignment and stakeholder coordination.

The MTSS drafting and costing workshop, held in Birnin Kebbi from July 29 to August 2, 2024, was a significant step towards this objective.

In his address, Alhaji Buhari Umar, the State Director of Budget and Economic Planning, emphasized the importance of the workshop, organized with support from USAID State2State, in developing a realistic and comprehensive three-year strategy for the key sectors of Education, Health, and WASH.

Director of Budget, highlighted the critical nature of these sectors, describing them as essential social areas that require strategic planning to deliver effective results. 

He urged all participants to conduct thorough situation assessments and analyses to develop the most cost-effective strategies for inclusion in the 2025 budget.

"The Ministry of Budget, serving as the central coordinator of the MTSS Workshop, will ensure the success of this initiative and its inclusion in the 2025 budget for implementation," Alhaji Buhari stated. 

He also expressed gratitude to USAID State2State for their continuous support and called on other partners to follow their example.

The five-day workshop featured group work, presentations, and interactive sessions and was chaired by Mrs. Patience Ogwara, the Lead Consultant for Sokoto State's 2025-2027 MTSS Drafting and Costing. 

The program was attended by stakeholders from the Sokoto State Ministries of Health, Education, and WASH, as well as representatives from Civil Society Organizations.

Other notable attendees included State2State Team Lead for Sokoto, Dr. Abdulkadir Aminu Ladan, Public Financial Management Specialist, Mr. Kenny Oleru, and representatives from UNICEF, USAID-funded Advancing Nutrition Nigeria, and USAID-Health Workforce Management Activity, among others.

The workshop's collaborative efforts and comprehensive discussions are expected to pave the way for effective and strategic development in Sokoto State's priority sectors, ensuring better resource management and improved service delivery for the people of Sokoto.
