Pre- Mission Technical Assistance Visit
Third National Fadama Development Project Additional Financing (AF)- (P130788)
November 5- 11 2015,
1.0 INTRODUCTION
A National Fadama Coordination Office (NFCO) Pre – Mission Technical Assistance Visit of the Third
National Fadama Development Additional Financing Fadama III – AF) was conducted from November 5 to
11, 2015. The mission is a prelude to the 4th Joint World Bank/Federal Government of Nigeria
implementation support mission that is scheduled to take place from Nov 23 to December 5, 2015. The
Pre- Implementation Support Mission led by Tayo Adewumi, National Project Coordinator, and consisted
of four teams that visited the Six Core States of Anambra, Enugu, Kano, Kogi, Lagos, Niger, and two
Production Cluster States (Osun and Plateau).
The NFCO is most grateful for the courtesies extended to it by the participating Governments of Anambra,
Enugu, Kano, Kogi, Lagos, Niger, Plateau and Osun States as well as the Fadama clients.
The overall objective of the Pre Mission Technical Assistant Visit was to assess the readiness of the State
for the upcoming mission and review Project Implementation progress across all the components.
This report provides a summary of project status and key findings of the mission across the eight States
visited.
2.0 KEY PENDING ISSUES FROM THE 3RD WORLD BANK/FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MISSION
The Project has achieved over 70% implementation of the action plan from the 3rd Supervision Mission.
However, key pending issues include Harmonization of Nutritional Training Module and related activities,
Technical Review Workshop for Appraisal of Fadama III performance to assist performance of AF and
Engagement of consultant for economic analysis of Fadama III.
3.0 KEY FINDINGS/PROGRESS OF IMPLEMENTATION
The Implementation of Four Hundred and Twenty - Four (424) approved and disbursed Business plans
covering Five Thousand and Eighty - Eight (5,088) hectares of farms across the four value chains is ongoing
in the States visited. Harvesting has also commenced in Niger, Enugu and Kogi States for rice and Cassava
Value Chains respectively. The first Micro-Finance Bank established through savings mobilized by FFCA in
Plateau State is completed and ready for take-off. Also, construction/rehabilitation of the AEHE centres
are under except for Lagos and Enugu that were constrained by inadequate counterpart funds. In addition,
the mission noted that all the core States are at different stages in the procurement processes for the
construction of roads and irrigation infrastructure
4.0 STATUS OF IMPLEMENTATION BY COMPONENTS

Plateau State registered two (2) Production Clusters comprising of twenty (20) Production groups for
Tomatoes production while Seven (7) Production Clusters with Thirty-nine (39) Production Groups had
been mobilized for Cassava production in Osun State.
Communication activities (Social Mobilization, High Level Advocacy, IEC, Media Van Utilization)
High level advocacy visits and sensitization were undertaken to Key Stakeholders such as State Governors,
Political Office holders, Local Government Chairmen, Traditional Rulers etc. The media vans procured for
Kano, Kogi and Niger States are being utilized for awareness creation and publicity of project activities
within catchment and core areas of intervention. The Project has also undertaken media publicity of its
activities in the core States with Stations such as Radio Kano, Radio Lagos etc with a total number of Eighty
- Nine (89) programmes aired in Kano and Lagos States with 208 jingles produced in Lagos State. 10
community film shows to all production clusters were organized in Niger State. Enugu recorded low
communication activities in the State due to non-availability of Communication Officer in the State.
In the Plateau State, high level sensitizations of various stakeholders have been conducted at State and
LGA levels on Fadama III AF concept. The State also has a weekly programme on PRTV (Plateau Radio
Television) known as Noma Tushin Arziki. However, there are minimal communication activities in Osun
State due to delay in payment of counterpart fund. Moreso, there is no documentary of States
implementation activities under Fadama III AF Project.
Number of Women and Youth groups formed for downstream activities
Of all the six core States only Kano State has formed a youth group for downstream activities under Rice
value chain. . However, seven (7) PGs are currently being prepared to meet the objective of women and
youth participation in downstream activities in Enugu State. Two groups (one youth and One women
group) were formed for downstream activities in Plateau State, Osun State is yet to form groups for
processing activities.
Functionality of FFCAs and validity of Membership
The FFCA is functional in Kogi and Niger States with its Membership validated. In Niger State, the FFCA
has paid N4,000,000.00 (Four Million Naira) as part of its counterpart contribution for the AEHE while
sourcing credit from bank for the remaining 15%. In Anambra State, FFCA in 4 LGAs have contributed the
sum of N70, 000.00, while Lagos State FFCAs has N10,000,000.00 (Ten Million Naira) in its account. The
validity of membership could not be ascertained in Kano State but election was conducted with officers
elected into various positions. Enugu State also conducted election into different offices of the FFCA with
result collated but was not yet announced as at the time of the visit.
The FFCA is also functional in Plateau and Osun States, and its membership has been validated across
Local Government Areas. The Federated in Plateau State has established Fadama Farmers Micro Finance
Bank which is ready for commissioning by the State Government.
Level of Business Plan Preparation and Implementation
Four Hundred and Thirty -Two (432) approved Business Plans consisting of Three Thousand and Seven
hundred and Forteen (3,714) hectares have been disbursed to and are being implemented across five core
States and two production cluster States respectively. In Kano State, Rice and Sorghum farms are ready
for harvest while Tomatoes are in nursery about to be transplanted.
A total of 118.4mt have been harvested from 25 ha in the 100ha Special Intervention sites in Kogi State
and sold to Matna Food Processing Company. In Lagos State, farmers have been supported with inputs
for Rice for 3 production group on Thirty Three (33) hectares of farms. Some Production groups supported
under Rice value chain in Niger and Enugu States have commenced harvesting. A breakdown of Business
Plans prepared and implemented is shown in Table 2.

Plateau State, the approved 20 BPs are at various level of implementation.
4.1.6
Readiness of Market (Off-takers/Processors) & compliance with Signed Agreement
Production Groups have been linked with Off-takers in all the Core States with signed agreements apart
from Anambra and Lagos who are yet to sign any agreement. Nine Off-takers identified across value chain
in the Core States include; Annes Agro Processing Ltd, Umza Rice, Popular Rice Farms, Grand Cereals,
ONYX, Dangote Ltd, Ihima, MATNA FOODS, Imota Rice Processing Mill and other Small Scale Processors
and Medium Scale Off-takers.

4.1.6
Mission Recommendations
I.
SFCO should intensify efforts in signing MoUs with already identified Off-takers without further
delay.
II.
Mobilization and Formation of Women and Youth groups for processing activities should be
intensified.
III.
Sensitization and necessary follow up of FFCA to generate 35% commitment for AEHE Center
should be intensified.
IV.
4.2
Efforts should be intensified by the SFCO to prepared and process new Business Plans for funding
COMPONENT 2: Small Scale Community Owned Rural Infrastructure
Road construction feasibility reports in Kano, Enugu, Lagos, Anambra have been concluded by the
Consultants, the evaluation reports are being reviewed by NFCO. Niger and Kogi States are at advanced
stages of awarding the contract to the successful bidders.
On the construction of irrigation infrastructure, Anambra State is at the completion of evaluation of bids
for the five locations (Anaku, Otakpu-Omor, Itulu-Omor, Ogbakuba, Ogborji) while Enugu is at advanced
stage of awarding the contracts. In Lagos, evaluation report of bids has been forwarded to NFCO while
Niger State has procured 15 wash-bores and water pumps at Badeggi for the implementation Rice Value
Chain activities.
Niger State has completed the construction of the AEHE Centre and had procured 5 Tractors, 1 Power
Tiller and Mini-combined harvester.
Anambra State has recorded 15% level of work done for the
construction of AEHE Centre located in Omor whereas Kano State work has commenced in the AEHE
centre but the prototype design by NFCO was not adhered to, however the reconstruction of the fence
and removal of the trees to create more space for equipment was ongoing. Enugu and Lagos States are
unable to mobilize Contractors due to lack of counterpart fund. Kogi State has established proposed site
for the construction of the center and have placed advert for bids. .
Land has been allocated for the construction of the specialized tomatoes markets, cold room and Net
House in Kano State. The prototype design would be forwarded to the State by NFCO shortly.
Water User Committee has been formed in Niger, Anambra and Enugu States while Kano, and Lagos are
at different stages of formation of the committee in their States.
Mission Recommendation
I.
The Procurement Committee should meet and conduct a field verification in order to validate the
15% work done in Anambra State and make appropriate recommendation, especially in the area
of fund releases that would ensure that the target date of January, 2016 completion is not
compromised.
II.
Prototype design for AEHE earlier forwarded to States should be adhered to
III.
SFCO to discuss further with FFCA on the suitability of the AEHE site before further action in Kogi
State.
4.3
COMPONENT 3: Advisory Services and Input Support
A total of 20 Advisory Services and Inputs Consultants (ASICs) have been engaged and assigned to at least
One (1) Production Cluster from the 38 recommended ASICs across the Core States to support farmers in
the use of best agronomic practices for higher productivity gains. However, Anambra State has conducted
the evaluation exercise and has identified 14 successful ASIC candidates but due to non-disbursement to
PGs/PCs, the State is yet to engage any ASIC.
Meanwhile, Osun and Plateau States have each engaged and assigned 2 and 1 number ASICs respectively
to work closely with PCs. Impacts on ground reveal positive results in the activities of ASICs within the
States.
Farm Record Books, both at individual and group levels have been distributed to substantial number of
farmers but are fairly utilized in documenting relevant activities. However, funds disbursed to PCs/PGs
on agricultural Inputs do not correspond with the data uploaded on the e-voucher system. As at date, a
sum of N122, 505,640 has been disbursed to agricultural inputs across the benefitting States and N79,
421,050 only representing 64.8% was captured in the e-voucher platform of the Project as at the time of
the mission. (See table below)

The administration of Input Paper Vouchers in the delivery of inputs is constrained by the inability to
generate e-numbers which was largely due to poor farmers’ data upload of approved Business Plans
across States.
Mission Recommendations
I.
There is need for immediate farmers’ database upload and generation of vouchers’ e-number that
will be used in the input paper voucher.
II.
Disbursements to Agricultural Inputs should be updated on the E-Voucher System at the point of
issuance of inputs voucher to PCs/PGs
III.
The ASIC and the facilitators must ensure that the farmers fill their record books accordingly and
in retrospect using the records at their disposal.
4.4 COMPONENT 4: Support to ADP, On-farm Demonstration and Adaptive Research
The existing relationship between the ADP and respective SFCO is cordial. The SFCO has fared well in terms
of prompt release of fund to undertake approved ADP’s related activities. However, the SFCOs are yet to
leverage on the existing relationship to facilitate production groups’ access to extension services from
ADPs; an activity very critical for the attainment of one of the KPIs of Component IV.
All the Fadama III AF Core States have ICT Centres which were housed in their respective State ADP’s
Office Complex under Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation Unit. However, none of the centre is functional
except in Niger and Lagos States where the centre is being utilized in the promotion of e-extension
services to farmers. In Kogi State, the five desktop and a laptop computers in the centre have crashed due
to virus attack and currently, there is no internet connectivity. All the computers and accessories in
Anambra and Enugu States ICT Centres are in good condition but not connected to internet due to lack of
fund to subscribe for internet connectivity. The mission noted that the earlier reported burnt generator
for the ICT centre in Anambra has been repaired and functional. Meanwhile, the two Staff deployed in all
the State from PM&E unit to man the centre has commenced uploading of farmers’ data in readiness for
e-extension services to them.
Four varietal comparison demonstrations plots were established across the 6 Fadama III AF core States
except in Enugu and Lagos States. In Kano and Anambra States, three hectares each of four rice varieties
(FAROs 44, 52, 60 and 61) comparison demonstration plots were established by NCRI while four hectares
of same demonstrations plots were also established in Niger State. In addition, nurseries for tomato
(Chibili, Kiarra and Thorgal) were established in two sites – Kwanan Gafan (Garun Mallam LGA) and
Makunturi (Bunkure LGA). Furthermore, four locations have been identified by Kano SFCO together with
NIHORT where the demonstration plots would be established. In Kogi State, NRCRI Umudike has
established Six (6) hectares of four cassava varieties (TME419, TMS 0505, TMS 01/1368) comparison
demonstration plots with emphasis on Yellow Cassava variety. However, branding of the demonstration
plots were not adequately done
The production groups/clusters have not been adequately sensitized on the window and profitability of
community seed production therefore, there was no existence of production groups/clusters across the
States that could be encouraged to embark on community seed production under the project. The States
were urged to make conscious effort to mobilize and form groups; preferably unemployed youths which
could be supported to go into community seed production.
Mission Recommendations
I.
States should provide necessary support to the ADP and ensure that the ICT centre is functional.
This will include installation of antivirus, provision of efficient internet option, renovation of the
centre where necessary as well as proper branding of the ICT Centres and its equipment
II.
Conscious effort should be made by States to mobilize and register production groups/clusters
that will be supported to undertake seed production as a business.
III.
States should leverage on the existing relationship to facilitate production groups’ access to
extension services from ADPs.
IV.
States were advised to properly brand all demonstration plots specifying the four varieties of
crops being showcased on the signpost.
4.5
COMPONENT 5: Productive Asset Acquisition
Mission observed that none of the Core States have procured productive assets for Production groups;
this was partly due to late disbursements to production groups. Development of business plans for
processing activities are at different level across the states.
Plateau State has procured 62No. Water pumps, 62Nos Knapsack Sprayers, 1No Wheelbarrow and
162Nos hoes for 1 Production Cluster. One Woman group and one youth group was also formed for
downstream activities. Osun State is however yet to commence implementation of component V
activities.
Mission Recommendations
I.
SFCOs should fast-track the mobilization and registration of Women and Youth Groups to acquire
assets for processing activities.
II.
Template for ‘Processing business plan’ should be made available to the States for immediate
implementation.
4.6 COMPONENT 6: Project Management, M&E, Environmental & Fiduciary Management
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The States visited held regular meetings but need to keep and update records of minutes regularly. All
Core States except Kano maintained and kept Back to Office reports of activities such as trainings,
workshops, field visits, SFTC meetings and high level advocacy visits.
Anambra, Niger and Lagos States presented evidence of rendering progress Monthly, Quarterly and
Annual reports while Enugu and Kogi State had no weekly, monthly, quarterly nor annual reports
documentation. In Kano State no monthly report was sighted only third quarter 2015 report.
There were no sufficient documentation on Progress and Back to Office Reports in Plateau and Osun
States respectively.
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM (MIS)
Some (MIS) related challenges in the core States were resolved during the pre-mission visit, these include
non-usage of input voucher, poor internet network, BPs not captured in Enugu while in Anambra virus
infestation was a challenge and Lagos discrepancy between Panex and ICR data as a result of the counting
method.
Plateau State had a challenge of uploading farmer’s data into the database due to non-availability of
members’ individual Bank account. However, less than 10% of farmers in approved business plan have
been uploaded into Panex database as at the time of visit across the visiting States.
ENVIRONMENT
The core States have complied with all environmental safeguards however the road leading to Ibito
Production Cluster Farmland in Enugu State was flooded at the time of visit.
This has delayed
disbursement to 7 groups in the Cluster. In Lagos State, Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) were not
procured for Itoikin Production Cluster because it was above the threshold for the group.
Plateau and Osun States complied with all environmental safeguard except procurement and utilization
of PPE in Osun because the cost was above the threshold.
Land titles were in place in the entire six (6) core States as well as Osun States except in Plateau State
where Barkinladi Cluster was still processing its land title. There was no record of insurance in all the
States visited, however discussions with insurance companies are currently ongoing. Anambra, Lagos,
Kogi, Niger, Kano, Plateau States have formed conflict resolution committees except Enugu and Osun.
Coordinates of farm sizes were well captured in the required unit (Decimal degree) in all the Core and
Production States visited.
PROCUREMENT PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES
World Bank Procurement Guidelines was adhered to during project implementation thereby reducing risk
of fund misuse. However, community based procurement procedures were not adequately followed in
Enugu State.
The Procurement plan for 2015 was prepared by Anambra and Enugu States and cleared by the World
Bank. Total value of contract awarded for 2015 stood at USD 112,038.00 for 17 contracts and USD
61,715.32 for 8 contracts in Anambra and Enugu respectively.
The average performance in terms of procurement plan implementation for actual contracts executed is
52.95% in Anambra SFCO, 40% in Enugu SFCO, 68.7% in Niger SFCO, 44% in Kogi SFCO, Lagos SFCO 44%
and Kano SFCO 28%.
Farm sites in all the Core States were properly branded with sign posts except in Enugu. However, in the
two Production Cluster States visited ( Osun & Plateau), the farm sites locations were not branded.
Anambra State has registered Seventy Three Service Providers; Forty Six (46) on Agro dealers, Ten (10) for
Works, Six (6) for goods and Eleven (11) for consultancy. The Service provider database in Lagos SFCO and
Osun were updated last in August, 2015. Data base of service providers were not properly collated and
updated in Niger, Kogi and Enugu States.
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
The integrity of funds flow from SFCO to service provider in Kano, Niger and Enugu is marginally
satisfactory, the financial procedures are followed to certain extent and there is room for improvement.
The payment voucher for all transactions between Lagos and Kogi SFCO with farmers and service providers
was adequately documented with the entire relevant supporting document.
Plateau SFCO did not have proper documentation, relevant supporting document before processing
payment to the Service Provider. Osun SFCO did all financial transactions in accordance to financial
procedures with adequate documentations of all relevant supporting documents ranging from initiating
documents, approval page, quotation & evaluation letter, expression of interest, award of contract,
contact agreement, input support voucher, bank statement, field inspection report and cash receipt etc.
The SOEs in Enugu, Kano and Niger were assessed and the retirement of funds is encouraging but still
needs to be improved upon. All items claimed under SOEs in Lagos, Kogi, Plateau and Osun State were
also accessed and they were adequately retired with the necessary supporting documents. Also, mission
observed that little or no disbursement have been made under component 5 activities
