Project Brief History

With over 200 million population growing at 3% annually, Nigeria is the most populous
country on the African continent. Nigeria is also the largest economy on the continent.
Despite the recent growth momenta, Nigeria faces significant and persistent poverty.
About 40% of the country´s population lives under the poverty line where poverty is more
acute in rural areas than urban. Major factors contributing to rural poverty include low
agricultural production and productivity, limited opportunities for value-addition,
challenges of marketing capacity, poor yields in quality and quantity, and significant
deficits in support systems such as infrastructure, access to productivity-enhancing
inputs, financial backing, commercial orientation, and effective policies, as well as
environmental degradation and the effects of climate change.
