Purpose

The importance of social exclusion and the disadvantage experienced by many minority ethnic and religious populations are rooted in SDG 10. To address this exclusion effectively it is important to understand their key drivers. This paper aimed to establish the key drivers of exclusion and their outcomes in Nigeria.

Design/methodology/approach

The methods involved a scoping review of literature and stakeholder workshops that focused on drivers of social exclusion of religious and ethnic minorities in public institutions.

Findings

At the macro level, the drivers include ineffective centralized federal State, competition for resources and power among groups, geographic developmental divide and socio-cultural/religious issues. At the meso-level are institutional rules and competition for resources, stereotypes and misconceptions, barriers to access and service provision. At the micro-level are socio-economic status and health-seeking behaviour. The perceived impact of social exclusion included increasing illiteracy, lack of employment, deteriorating health care services, increased social vices, communal clashes and insurgencies and vulnerability to exploitation and humiliation. These drivers must be taken into consideration in the development of interventions for preventing or reducing social exclusion of ethnic and religious minorities from public services.

Originality/value

This is a case of co-production by all the stakeholders and a novel way for the identification of drivers of social exclusion in public services in Nigeria. It is the first step towards solving the problem of exclusion and has implications for the achievement of SDG 10 in Nigeria.

探索尼日利亚公共服务中种族和宗教排斥的驱动因素：对可持续发展目标10的影响

目的

社会排斥的重要性和许多少数族裔和宗教人口所经历的不利条件根植于可持续发展目标10。要有效解决这一排斥问题，重要的是要了解其主要驱动因素。本文旨在确定尼日利亚排斥的主要驱动力及其结果。

设计/方法/方法

这些方法涉及范围广泛的文献回顾和利益相关者研讨会，其重点是推动公共机构中宗教和少数民族被社会排斥的驱动因素。

发现

在宏观层面，驱动因素包括无效的中央集权国家，各团体之间争夺资源和权力，地理发展鸿沟以及社会文化/宗教问题。在中观水平上是制度规则和对资源，陈规定型观念和误解，获取和提供服务的障碍的竞争。在微观层面上是社会经济地位和寻求健康的行为。人们认为社会排斥的影响包括文盲率上升，缺乏就业，卫生保健服务恶化，社会恶习增加，社区冲突和叛乱以及对剥削和屈辱的脆弱性。在制定预防措施以防止或减少种族和宗教少数群体被社会排斥在公共服务之外时，必须考虑这些驱动因素。

创意/价值

这是所有利益相关者共同制作的案例，是一种在尼日利亚确定社会排斥在公共服务中的驱动因素的新颖方法。这是解决排斥问题的第一步，对尼日利亚实现可持续发展目标10具有影响。
