UNGA 81: Nigeria Pushes Stronger National Systems for Poverty Reduction, Resilience
By Rukevwe Odeh
As global leaders converge on New York for the 81st United Nations General Assembly, Nigeria is advocating a move away from continued reliance on humanitarian assistance towards the development of stronger national systems capable of addressing poverty, improving protection and building long-term resilience.
The country’s position places greater emphasis on sustainable solutions that strengthen domestic institutions and enable vulnerable communities to withstand economic and social challenges, rather than depending primarily on recurring emergency interventions.
Nigeria is expected to use the high-level gathering to highlight the importance of coordinated international support for efforts aimed at reducing poverty, strengthening social protection mechanisms and promoting resilience across affected communities.
