Project Coverage Area
Empowering communities across the Niger Delta
Where We Make an Impact
LIFE-ND is being implemented in the nine Niger Delta States (Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo, Imo, Ondo and Rivers), as with the predecessor Community Based Natural Resources Management Programme (CBNRMP), IFAD financing will focus on six of the states in line with the recommendations of the 2015 Country Programme Evaluation (CPE). The CPE noted that the attempt to cover many states under one project was inefficient, diluted quality of outreach within each state, and compromised results.
The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) which has a mandate for the development of the Niger-Delta region, and had co-financed the predecessor IFAD-assisted CBNRMP, is partnering with IFAD and the Federal Government to finance the implementation of LIFE-ND in three remaining states out of the nine states which are Imo, Rivers and Akwa Ibom states.
