NANTs, ECOWAS Support 300 IDPs with Agricultural Inputs in Kuje, Durumi Camps - THISDAYLIVE via thisdaylive
The National Association of Nigerian Traders has supported 300 Internally Displaced Persons in Kuje and Durumi camps with agricultural inputs to empower them to improve their livelihoods.
Ukaoha said the objective of the project was to provide agriculture livelihood for IDP households in the camps and build their capacity for improved productivity in selected crops such as maize and groundnut. “This project is expected to improve the livelihoods of the IDPs, empower them with the capacity to create jobs, improve food and nutrition security, and reduce the dependence of the IDP households on government and other philanthropic organisarions.
Ukaoha said the association would link the beneficiaries to off-takers who would buy off their produce after harvest. Ukaoha said the private and public agencies’ strategic actions for disaster victims could best be described as a fire-brigade approach, while humanitarian agencies’ responses focused on handouts which served immediate needs.
