National Coordinator / CEO, NSIPA
The National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA) is Nigeria’s central statutory institution for coordinating and delivering comprehensive social protection interventions targeted at the country’s poorest and most vulnerable populations.
Its legal foundation is the National Social Investment Programme Agency (Establishment) Act, 2022, empowering NSIPA to institutionalize governance, maintain an integrated national social register, and ensure equitable resource distribution across all 36 states and the FCT.
Six Statutory Programme Pillars
To uplift millions of vulnerable Nigerians in every corner of the federation, NSIPA operates six statutory intervention pillars engineered for measurable socio-economic impact.
National Social RegisterThe National Social Safety Nets Coordinating Office (NASSCO) serves as the central coordinating body for Nigeria's social protection initiatives, with a mandate to identify and support poor and vulnerable households through an integrated, harmonized, and well-managed national social safety net system. NASSCO is responsible for building and maintaining the National Social Register, coordinating across institutions and programs, facilitating the use of targeting and payment systems, and ensuring policy coherence and knowledge sharing across the sector. Under initiatives like the National Social Safety Nets Project-Scale Up (NASSP-SU), NASSCO has expanded access to millions of households through shock-responsive cash transfers, strengthened state and community-level targeting mechanisms, and improved monitoring and evaluation to ensure efficient service delivery. Its work includes training personnel, managing grievance redress systems, linking stakeholders, and publishing guidance and progress reports, all aimed at reducing poverty and improving the effectiveness and reach of Nigeria’s social safety net programs.
Direct Household TransfersThe National Cash Transfer Office (NCTO) was established to support Nigeria’s poorest households by improving nutrition, enhancing household consumption, and investing in human capital development. NCTO delivers cash transfers to various categories of vulnerable populations, with the dual aim of promoting immediate welfare and encouraging co-responsibilities that strengthen the capacities of poor and vulnerable households (PVHHs) to improve their standard of living. Its mandate is to provide targeted social transfers under an expanded National Social Safety Nets System, focusing on households identified as living below the basic needs poverty line through a community-based targeting mechanism.
Over 8.5 million public school pupils receiving daily hot nutritious meals nationwide.
All interventions under NSIPA are statutory federal initiatives designed to reach every eligible Nigerian. While most programmes prioritize vulnerable households, specific age criteria apply to skill-building and loan schemes:
