...a project of the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN)

The LIFE-ND project primarily targets 38,250 (IFAD – 25,500 + NDDC – 12,750) unemployed and underemployed youth and women beneficiaries as Incubatees (trainees) that will come out of the Incubation System with their own profitable enterprises in which 70% (26,775) are smallholder farmers and 30% (11,475) are processors/marketers, and eventually serve as Incubators themselves. It will also target about 900 (IFAD – 600 + NDDC – 300) established and potential enterprise Incubators as a pathway for job creation and economic empowerment of the beneficiaries.
The following criteria is used for the selection of the beneficiaries:

  • The beneficiaries will be unemployed and underemployed youth aged between 18 to 35 years and vulnerable group including women headed households with children under the age of 15 and Persons with disability (PWD). Overall, 19,125 male youth (50%) and 19,125 women (50%) [female youth 60% (11,475) and women headed households 40% (7,650)].
  • The beneficiaries will be selected at the village level.
  • Incubators will be identified on the basis of their involvement in market linkage activities, adoption of out-grower model, experience in the incubation of new enterprises and technical, financial, managerial and infrastructure capacity to mentor the assigned Incubatees (trainees) to apprentices.
