- BACKGROUND
The Federal Government of Nigeria has received a Facility from the African Development Bank (AfDB), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) to finance the cost of the Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zones Program (SAPZ), and intends to apply part of the proceeds towards carrying out various consultancy services. The SAPZ Program is being implemented in the seven (7) States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The States are Cross River, Imo, Kaduna, Kano, Kwara, Ogun and Oyo.
The overall development objective of the SAPZ program is twofold: (1) Support the development of SAPZ in high food production areas to supply the domestic food market and create exportable surpluses; and (2) Capacitate smallholder farmers, small agro-processors, and traders, and community-based service providers, including women and youth; to take advantage of the market demand created by the SAPZ to sustainably enhance their income, household food security and resilience to climate change.
