FARMER'S LIVELIHOODs IMPROVING IN NIGERIA

The Nigeria SSC programme is
being implemented under a
Tripartite Project Agreement
(TPA) signed between Nigeria,
the People’s Republic of China
and FAO, and has been fully
funded by the Federal
Government of Nigeria covering
its 36 states and the Federal
Capital Territory (FCT).
Due to the success of the first
phase, the project’s reputation
grew, allowing the second phase
to be more demand-driven. It
now responds to individual
states’ requests for specific types
of support. A nearly 700 Chinese
experts and technicians have
been helping Nigeria’s
agricultural sector improve
productivity and strengthen its
capacities, not only of the
farmers but also of processors,
farm managers and extension
staff.
