Since 2011, UK funded governance programmes have supported reforms to budget processes in Yobe State in North-East Nigeria. Gareth Williams, TPP Director, has co-authored this case study that assesses the contribution and impact of this support. It provides evidence on what reforms to budget processes took place, and how they occurred through a combination of political processes taking place in the state and support from UK programmes.
