MARKET SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT

PROJECT OVERVIEW:

PIND’s Market Systems Development project supports farmers and small enterprises in key agricultural sectors in the Niger Delta to improve their productivity, leading to an increase in income and reduction of poverty. The primary objective is to identify channels and prioritize the linkages between growth opportunities in agriculture and youth unemployment and skills gaps in the Niger Delta region.

To broaden the worthy efforts, the project also envisions finding agricultural market system(s) with the most potential to create jobs; recommendations on ranking interventions to address failures or weaknesses in the agricultural market system(s), as well as documents that will ideally serve as contextual information for successful future initiatives.

Over the years, PIND worked with multiple partners and market actors to implement economic development interventions addressing multiple foundational problems across five agricultural value chains (aquaculture, cassava, cocoa, palm oil, and poultry) and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The interventions increased the number of men and women experiencing sustainable positive changes in income and attaining gainful employment.

OUR AIM:
  • To implement economic development interventions across five agricultural value chains (aquaculture, cassava, cocoa, palm oil, and poultry) and MSMEs.

OUR APPROACH:
  • Enabled food production and prosperity for farmers and entrepreneurs in key agricultural sectors by empowering them to increase their productivity and income in a sustainable manner.
  • Sustained economic activities and gains with social capital and other conflict prevention and controlling mechanisms.
