He said, “Under this project, great results have been achieved so-far in tackling food insecurity in Nigeria. More than 90,000 direct jobs and 800,000 indirect jobs has been created through various livelihood and income generating activities.

Moreover, more than 50,000 women have been empowered through the project’s climate-smart agriculture and livelihood interventions with both on-farm and off-farm income generating activities and through the land restoration efforts, over 100 hectares of degraded and soil erosion land has been restored”.

GEF national project coordinator, Mr Mohammed Tukur, said the programme had proven to be very effective in boosting the adaptability of small-holder farmers in managing climate changes.

He said the project had lifted many people out of poverty and ensured food security, linking successes to lessons from the Integrated Approach Pilot (IAP).
