MADE Business Case Climate and Environmental Assessment

In line with DFID requirements, Developing Alternatives Incorporated (DAI) Europe Ltd. has carried out a climate and environment assessment as part of the Business Case for the Niger Delta Market Development Project (MADE). The MADE project is designed to address increasing incomes in the Niger Delta by working in four to six different market systems (sectors). The desired results are to reach 150,000 primarily economically active poor, to increase their incomes by 40 – 50 percent over the life span (4 – 5 years) of the project. Women are expected to be half of the target population. The MADE project will concentrate on the core states of the Niger Delta (Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and Bayelsa) where the greatest incidence of poverty and conflict exist.
