1. The State Action on Business Enabling Reforms (SABER) Operation focuses on improving the business enabling environment in Nigerian states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Leveraging the State’s Fiscal Transparency, Accountability and Sustainability (SFTAS) Program, which has created a mutual accountability platform between the federal government and the states, the SABER program will further consolidate and deepen gains from business enabling reforms implemented across the country by the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC)-National Economic Council (NEC) subnational interventions through incentives, in the form of results- based financing to the states, and the delivery of wholesale technical assistance-available to all states-to support gaps in reform implementation.
