SUBJECT: FY 2007 CARRY-OVER ESF PROJECT PROPOSALS: 
POLITICAL COMPETITION AND CONSENSUS BUILDING; REGIONAL 
TRADE AND INVESTMENT 
 
REF: SECSTATE 151653 
 
SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED -- NOT FOR INTERNET DISTRIBUTION 
 
1. (U) SUMMARY:  Embassy Abuja supports USAID Bilateral 
Mission proposal to use USD 500,000 from AF ESF to help 
media, civil society and the National Assembly monitor and 
move forward Nigeria's electoral reform process.  Embassy 
also supports USAID West African Mission proposal to utilize 
USD 200,000 of regional ESF to promote regional trade and 
investment enabling environment.  Both USAID Mission are 
coordinating with AID counterparts.  End Summary. 
 
2. (SBU) Africa Regional Fund:  Political Competition and 
Consensus-Building.  Amount Requested:  USD 500,000. 
 
This request supports MSP and Operational Plan 
transformational goal of more Democratic and Transparent 
Governance in Nigeria.  Accomplishments will be measured 
based on acceleration of electoral reform process and through 
better general elections in Nigeria in 2011 and improved 
process in other special elections before then. 
 
The 2007 Nigerian Presidential, Gubernatorial and 
Parliamentary elections were a travesty.  Free and fair 
elections were effectively undermined by the Nigerian 
political elite.  Since then, President Yar'Adua has formed a 
Committee on Electoral Reforms, composed of eminent Nigerian 
citizens, and given it a one-year mandate to make 
recommendations to improve the electoral system.  The 
Committee has been welcomed by the Nigerian population and 
the international community.  Embassy Abuja believes that the 
President must demonstrate his sincere desire for electoral 
reforms by sufficiently funding the Committee.  Therefore, we 
are not/not suggesting that the USG directly support the 
Committee.  Instead, we propose to have the USAID Bilateral 
Mission use ESF to help the media, civil society and the 
National Assembly monitor the electoral reform process and 
engage with the Electoral Reform Committee in an effort to 
effect fundamental changes to Nigeria's weak electoral 
system.  Using these ESF carryover funds, the USG will 
support media events, including talk shows and community 
radio programs that address critical issues.  USG assistance 
will also be provided to civil society groups to assist them 
in serving as watchdogs able to engage effectively with the 
Committee.  Assistance to the National Assembly will ensure 
that recommendations of the Committee are vetted and 
translated into actions.  The intervention will support U.S. 
Foreign Assistance objectives by promoting credible, free and 
fair elections in Nigeria. 
 
3. (U) Regional Organizations:  Economic Growth/Trade and 
Investment:  Trade and Investment Enabling Environment. 
Amount Requested:  USD 200,000. 
 
This request supports MSP and Operational Plan 
transformational goal of Economic Growth through more 
rational and productive trade arrangements and support for 
private sector activity in the West Africa Region.  Embassy 
Abuja has coordinated this proposal with USAID/WA Office in 
Accra.  The latter will be the implementor, with support from 
and liaison with Embassy Abuja and Bilateral AID Mission. 
Accomplishments will be measured by accelerated progress on 
regional integration, lowering of tariff and non-tariff 
barriers, and improvement of the investment and operating 
environment for the private sector. 
 
Embassy Abuja supports proposal by USAID/WA to use USD 
200,000 in ESF funding two support two Regional Hires as 
Economic Advisors within ECOWAS.  We are also coordinating 
our efforts with the EU, the major donor to ECOWAS, which is 
supportive of this initiative.  The two Advisors would be 
hired and supervised by USAID/WA, but would also have close 
liaison with Embassy Abuja, as the U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria 
is also accredited to ECOWAS, and with the USAID Bilateral 
Mission to Nigeria.  One Advisor will focus on the Common 
External Tariff and related trade issues as spelled out in 
reftel.  The other would support the ECOWAS Private 
Enterprise Initiative.  Both Advisors will support the 
development of longer-term analytical capacity of ECOWAS 
through coaching and development of ECOWAS permanent staff. 
We recognize that ECOWAS has not yet fulfilled its mandate 
for regional economic integration.  Nonetheless, close 
liaison with these two Advisors within ECOWAS will enable us 
to more effectively coordinate our bilateral diplomatic 
efforts towards Nigeria, the largest player in the ECOWAS 
region, and such efforts with ECOWAS itself.  We will also be 
 
 
in a strong position to direct other donors in the most 
effective use of their funding to move forward the ECOWAS 
agenda.  We believe that USD 200,000 for these two Advisors 
will be a cost-effective investment towards more open and 
rational trade, investment and customs regimes in West Africa 
while directly supporting expansion of the private sector.
