Enhancing Food Security in Nigeria through Agricultural Development Programmes

Enhancing Food Security in Nigeria through Agricultural Development Programmes is a ground-breaking exploration of two Agricultural Development Programmes (ADPs) in Nigeria, namely the IFAD-VCDP and CBN-ABP. The book delves into the challenges faced by the ADPs, including limited coverage, insufficient funding, delayed input arrival, and delayed loan disbursements to farmers. However, it doesn't stop at highlighting the issues; instead, it proposes viable solutions to tackle these challenges head-on.

The book also emphasises the critical role of robust monitoring and evaluation frameworks in enhancing Nigeria's food security index and ensuring the sustainable success of ADPs. A key takeaway from the book is the importance of expanding ADPs' reach to encompass more commodities and states.

Enhancing Food Security in Nigeria through Agricultural Development Programmes serves as a guiding manual for policymakers, offering evidence-based insights and strategies for sustainable agricultural policies. In this book, researchers will find rigorous analysis to expand their knowledge and develop further solutions, while stake-holders across the agricultural value chain will gain valuable perspectives on market dynamics, best practices and collaboration opportunities.
