We work with public policy authorities and rural communities to influence the policy process for agricultural development and to improve the livelihoods of the people, for them to live a better and dignified life.

Policy Influencing 

We take our message to those who have the power to make change happen in agriculture and rural development. To make change happen we influence those people with the power to act, and also bring our supporters and local communities together to encourage decision makers to make the necessary policies and implement them faithfully.

This is because changing the policies of governments and other powerful institutions is an effective way of reaching millions more people with more food, encouraging farmers and also rural dwellers and working hard to influence their decisions.

By bringing together as many voices as possible – supporters, local communities, civil society, business, service providers – we have a better chance of getting the change we want with our collective voice, thereby helping to keep the hunger crisis at the top of the agenda and at bay in Nigerian society. Alongside partners, we gather research and provide evidence of why agricultural policies are so important. We then present this information to decision-makers – locally, nationally and internationally – to make sure that our voices are heard loud and clear on behalf of the rural poor majority and people in protracted suffering.
