A poverty assessment of MADE and PIND was initiated in May 2018 to establish a deeper understanding of the characteristics of poverty in the Niger Delta, taking samples from the seven value chains. Analysis were carried out on MADE and PIND interventions in Cassava, Fisheries, and Palm Oil and specifically for MADE in Agricultural Inputs, Leather and Poultry and for PIND in Business Linkages. The assessment also provided an opportunity to develop relevant classifications of programme participants to distinguish different levels of poverty.
