title: Third National Fadama Development Financing II Impact Study Household Survey in Taraba

description: &lt;p&gt;This data was collected by IFPRI as part of the World Bank-funded project (Fadama III–Additional Financing (AF II) phase II ) that was implemented in North-Eastern Nigeria. The Project was supporting the recovery of the agriculture sector in the North East (NE) of Nigeria in response to support the Government’s recovery and reconstruction initiative. The project sought to respond to the urgent food and livelihood needs of farming households who were affected by conflicts in the six North-East states in Nigeria—Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Taraba, Bauchi, and Gombe. The North East States suffered huge losses and damage to property, economic infrastructure, and livelihoods because of the insurgency. Among the participating communities and households, the project was intended to improve nutritional security, food security, household incomes, boost job creation, improve infrastructure and increase access to market information as well as enhancing the managerial capacities of the local communities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The North-Eastern region of Nigeria was renowned for its large agricultural potential, with 80 percent of the population engaged in farming and contributing significantly to the regional and national GDP. Over the past two decades, however, the region had regressed with low education levels, limited access to healthcare and other basic amenities, and low GDP per capita. A once-promising zone now trails the other regions of Nigeria across all socio-economic indicators. The NE region in most recent times has also borne the brunt of human casualty, loss of properties, and diminished livelihoods emanating from the Boko Haram terrorist insurgency.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Towards the end of the project activities in 2018, IFPRI was contracted by the National Fadama Coordination Office (NFCO) in Abuja Nigeria which was the project implementing agency on behalf of the Government of Nigeria and World Bank to conduct an endline survey to collect primary data that would be used in rigorous impact assessment hence this data set. The endline survey collected both the project endline data ( 2018 measurements) and the retrospective baseline data ( 2016 measurements). The sample household survey covered all the six states in North-Eastern Nigeria that received project financial support. A total of 1800 households were sampled in both project treatment communities and non-project control communities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Survey data has information on insecurity conflicts and how these insecurity conflicts impacted on household migration and socio-economic conditions, humanitarian support received, value addition and agricultural processing, agricultural input aid received, demographic characteristics, crop production, livestock production, non-farm income, Fishing, and Aquaculture Income, beekeeping income, forestry and agroforestry income, wildlife income, food insecurity assessment, household dietary diversity, access to marketing infrastructure, productive assets, non-productive assets, access to credit, access to market information and extension.&lt;/p&gt;The data included is here for theTaraba state.
