i) Multiplication of breeder and foundation
seeds of selected varieties ii) Training farmers in seed production
techniques and catalyzing farmer to farmer seed diffusion of selected
improved early maturing varieties of cowpea, millet and sorghum for
strategic seed reserve development at household leveliii) Catalyzing
the formation of seed growers association to establish strategic seed
reserves at local government and state levels. This will ensure ready
availability of improved seeds to farmers and will help to both increase
their productivity as well as to provide them with the potential flexibility
needed to adjust their cropping system in the wake of erratic rainfall
in any given year.iv) On-farm demonstration cum multiplication of
improved seeds of early cowpea, millet and sorghum varieties.v).
A total of 939 farmers produced over 765 tons of improved seeds by

This Project is designed to enhance farmer
and community based system for production, storage and distribution
of improved early maturing varieties of millet, sorghum and cowpea.
Project activities include: multiplication of breeder and foundation
seeds of selected varieties; training farmers in seed production techniques
and catalyzing farmer to farmer seed diffusion of selected early maturing
varieties for strategic seed reserve development at household level;
and, catalyzing the formation of seed growers association to establish
strategic seed reserves at local government and state levels. This
will ensure ready availability of improved seeds to farmers and will
help to both increase their productivity as well as to provide them
with the potential flexibility needed to adjust their cropping system
in the wake of erratic rainfall in any given year.This project is
linked for seed production purposes to other donor-funded projects
by GATSBY foundation, DANINA and DFID. This has increased the number
of participating farmers to 20,000; net revenue of $600 per hectare
is currently recorded by the participating farmers. |

The project aims at increasing access to
and use of quality reproductive health (including cancer screening)
services amongst members of the Nigerian Armed Forces and their dependants. |

| Nigeria Police |
The project is increasing access to family
planning and reproductive health services in the Nigeria Police community
through direct support to Police facilities in Lagos, Makurdi, Orji
River, Enugu and Kaduna. These locations and its satellite communities
have large target population with high-unmet need for family planning
and reproductive health services. The project has trained doctors
and nurses in basic family planning, Post abortion care and syndromic
management. Training in project management and natural family planning
have also been conducted in addition to a training of trainers of
clinical service providers. Community -based distribution and male
motivation have been employed for the distribution of non-prescriptive
family planning commodities in the communities. Advocacy visits have
been conducted to the Inspector General of Police to secure the support
of the police hierarchy for the project. |
