About

A Project for the Niger-Delta

Building Sustainable Livelihoods, Empowering Communities

The Livelihood Improvement Family Enterprises Project for the Niger Delta (LIFE-ND) is a project of the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) designed in collaboration with International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). The project is in response to the limited readily available options for the “disadvantaged” (youth and women) in the rural and suburban communities to improve their means of livelihood and help them to live decent lives. LIFE-ND promotes community-based on-farm and off-farm business activities along key agricultural value chain as a mechanism for job and wealth creation amongst unemployed and underemployed youths and women-headed households.

About us

The LIFE-ND Project adopts a Incubator model at the community level of the Local Government Areas, targeting core commodities of comparative advantage in such communities. LIFE-ND community beneficiaries are identified, trained and supported in different segments of Agriculture along the entire value chain. This support includes access to affordable agricultural inputs for sustainable production, agro-processing & packaging, transportation and link to competitive financing and markets. Through the LIFE Project, a robust production to marketing system that reduces food wastage and increase farm earnings for rural families is ensured.
