FOOD FOR THE VULNERABLE PROJECT

TCP/NIR/3201 (E) - Inputs Supply to the Vulnerable Populations under the Initiative on Soaring Food Prices (ISFP). The Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) project, funded by FAO, with a budget of USD 500,000 was approved in July 2008 and implementation commenced in September 2008 following the appointment of the National Project Coordinator. The objective of the project under the FAO's Initiative on Soaring Food Prices (ISFP) was to assist the vulnerable populations in Nigeria through the supply of farm inputs. The project was implemented in four northern states (Borno, Katsina, Sokoto and Yobe) that were most affected by the sudden seizure of rains in 2007. Beneficiaries were identified; stakeholder and steering committees to ensure good project implementation were set up. Seeds, fertilizer and other required inputs were procured and distributed under the supervision of the steering committees of each project site. The project implementation activities rounded up in July 2009.
