The UK Foreign Secretary, James Cleverly, has announced a new investment plan, which includes a £95 million Propcom+ investment that is set to benefit at least four million Nigerians, including two million women, to increase productivity and adapt to the effects of climate change while at the same time reducing emissions.
The new £95 million Propcom+ programme, which is the UK Government’s investment in agriculture through the Propcom Mai-karfi programme in Nigeria, is set to help address key barriers to sustainable agricultural development in Nigeria. It will support the development of climate-resilient agricultural policies, actions, and investments that deliver nutrition, increase productivity, adapt and build resilience while reducing emissions, and protect and restore natural ecosystems.
