2014-15 was the first year of implementation of the Market Development in the Niger Delta (MADE) programme. It completed the pilot design phase in August 2014; the full implementation phase started in September 2014. This review covers the first seven months of implementation up to March 2015.
The focus of this first seven months has been on forming partnerships with the private sector in its opening portfolio of five markets (palm oil, traditional poultry, cassava, fisheries, and agricultural inputs). MADE has so far formed market driven partnerships with nine private sector businesses investing in agricultural development. The programme has progressed in recruiting the programme team and setting up its offices, and designing and starting its initial activities. MADE and DFID agreed on a contract amendment that aligned payments to results, based on milestones achievements.
