| Title: | Nigeria - Livelihood Improvement Family Enterprises, Niger Delta (LIFE-ND) – November 2023 |
| Description: |
Raking cocoa beans in a dry slab structure in Idanre, Ondo state, southwestern Nigeria. The covered dry slab structure provided by LIFE-ND provides a drying method for fermented cocoa beans that is faster and more hygienic than the traditional outdoor drying practice, preventing contamination from rain and roaming livestock. The IFAD-funded Livelihood Improvement Family Enterprises – Niger Delta (LIFE-ND) project in southern Nigeria helps rural youth and women make a living from agriculture. The project uses an incubator model to help unemployed or underemployed rural youth and women develop entrepreneurial skills, enabling them to sustainably enhance their incomes and food security, and embrace agriculture as a business. The goal of LIFE-ND is to transform the rural economy of the oil-rich Niger Delta region by harnessing the potential of agriculture to create income-generating activities for 25,500 rural young people, women-headed households, and people with disabilities (incubatees). Incubatees are mentored by established private-sector incubators along key agricultural value chains. |
