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).
