The National Assembly of Nigeria contributes towards good governance in Nigeria through drafting bills, making laws and maintaining oversight over the executive branch. In 2002, the Executive Board approved a grant of US$2 million to the National Assemble of Nigeria (NASS) for the purpose of establishing the Policy Analysis and Research Project (PARP). At its 38th Regular Meeting in December 2007, the Executive Board approved a second grant of US$2 million to PARP Phase II.
The overall goal of the Policy Analysis and Research Project(PARP)was to strengthen the capacity of the National Assembly of Nigeria to enable it to effectively discharge its constitutional duties of legislation, representation and oversight over the executive.
