Nigeria is in multi-dimensional crises. Terrorism especially in the North poses a great danger to the stability of the whole country. Gross inequality of access to means of survival of all forms, the vast amount of corruption and a totally inadequate infrastructure are only some of the numerous problems. The over 7% growth rate that is often quoted has not led to a development that could solve these problems.

In view of these circumstances, the question of whether there is at least a visible progress and whether the Millennium Development Goals can be reached, at least partially, is urgent. The KAS partner parliaments will look into this question and deliberate on what they can contribute in the remaining part of their legislative period which will end by 2015.
