The #LIFE programme kicks off in Jan, 2018 with advocacy, sensitization, identification/registration of potential beneficiaries, followed immediately by implementation. The pilot phase covers 24 states – 4 states drawn from each geopolitical zone; while the 2nd phase covers 12 states.
The #LIFE programme primarily aims to promote community-based on-farm and off-farm agribusiness activities as a model for job and wealth creation among unemployed youth and women in rural and suburban households; and to promote FGN's Economic Recovery and Growth Plan – ERGP.
The meeting reviewed the programme objectives; discussed the comparative crop advantage and peculiar situations in the pilot states; identified key stakeholders in each state; exchanged ideas on the best approach to implementation and for the ultimate success of the programme.
LIFE is the Livelihood Improvement Family Enterprise, an initiative developed by HM @AuduOgbeh to empower youth and women in rural & suburban areas.
It is also expected to ultimately engage 1,995,500 youths and 997,500 women for enhanced productivity and, through these interventions, add about 5,965,000 metric tonnes of foods to the national food store,’’ it said
