Special Programme for Food Security

12 February 2006, Abuja, Nigeria - A Gwari woman carrying firewood on her shoulder. The Gwaris are the predominant native settlers of Abuja, the present location of the federal capital territory. They believe the head is for the king and therefore should not be used to carry things.
FAO Project UTF/NIR/047/NIR: The National Special Food Security Programme, Nigeria. The objective of the programme is to contribute to sustainable improvements in national food security through rapid increases in productivity and food production on an economically and environmentally sustainable basis, reduce year-to-year variability in agricultural production, and improve people's access to food. The project agreement foresees that the funds are administered locally in Nigeria and of these funds a portion is regularly transferred to FAO Headquarters and registered in the accounts of the Organization (Data Warehouse).
