Peter Hartmann 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 level iii) 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 the end of Dec.2003 International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA)
International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) 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.

Nigerian Armed Forces 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. Pathfinder International
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. Pathfinder International
