Overview
Simplification of the Agriculture Promotion Policy (APP) for Smallholder Women Farmers in line with the agriculture components of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) and the Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP) Framework
ActionAid Nigeria (AAN) is implementing Phase 3 of the Public Financing of Agriculture (PFA) Project. The project is designed to catalyze increased quantity and improved quality of public investment in agriculture through enhanced citizens’ participation in policy making process to increase the productivity and well-being of women smallholder farmers, their households and communities in Nigeria. The project also seeks to continue to strengthen smallholder women farmers’ platforms through addressing the challenges of low voice and participation of smallholder women farmers in agricultural policy making processes at local, state and national levels.
Issues of specific focus within the project includes that of poor access and control over land and low spending on agriculture by the government at all levels, and little support to smallholder women farmers by government, lack of access to agricultural credit/finance, business development/advisory services and market access, inputs, technology, crop insurance, etc.
One of the deliverables of the PFA Phase 3 Project is the simplification of the Agriculture Promotion Policy (APP) for smallholder women farmers in line with the Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP) Framework in order to further empower their organisations to be able to hold duty-bearers to account towards increasing the quantity and quality of agriculture expenditure within the Nigerian government’s Agriculture Promotion Policy (APP) and the agriculture components of the Economic Recovery Growth Plan (ERGP). Therefore, the Food and Agriculture Team of ActionAid Nigeria intends to commission a Technical Editor to summarise the APP.
