SUMMARY:International Women's Day Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated globally every year on March 8 to recognise women’s achievements and advocate for gender equity. For Propcom+\, this occasion presents a strategic opportunity to highlight our commitment to breaking gender barriers\, promoting inclusive market systems\, amplifying the voices of women entrepreneurs and professionals\, and fostering meaningful connections that drive long-term\, transformational change in Nigeria. The theme for IWD 2026 is “Give to Gain”\, which calls for individuals\, organisations\, and communities to collectively contribute resources\, knowledge\, and support to foster gender equality\, knowing that when women thrive\, everyone rises.  \nPropcom+ is bringing stakeholders together for a dialogue themed “Women\, Agency and the Power of Giving for Gender Transformation.” This dialogue will bring together women agribusiness leaders\, government agencies\, and professionals to share experiences\, lessons\, and success stories in driving gender-transformational change in Nigeria’s agricultural markets and beyond. It will highlight inspiring achievements of women supported by Propcom+ and celebrate those advancing gender equality across communities and markets. \nSee Agenda below: \nAgenda for IWD Event 2026

SUMMARY:Seed Industry Practitioners’ Forum
DESCRIPTION:As part of its policy reform agenda\, Propcom+ is supporting efforts to improve the performance and coordination of regulatory institutions within Nigeria’s seed sector. Nigeria’s seed sector is constrained by fragmentated regulations\, bureaucratic delays\, weak institutional coordination\, and underdeveloped enforcement and policy implementation systems. These issues limit the availability and accessibility of quality-assured seeds for smallholder farmers and undermine the scale-up of innovations such as biofortified and climate-resilient crop varieties. The National Agricultural Seed Council (NASC) and the National Variety Release Committee (NVRC) play critical roles in seed certification\, standard setting\, and the release of improved seed varieties\, but are often constrained by systemic inefficiencies\, lack of coordination\, and limited stakeholder engagement. \nTo help address these systemic constraints\, Propcom+ in partnership with HarvestPlus will be convening key stakeholders in a Seed Industry Practitioners’ Forum aimed at identifying core regulatory gaps\, operational challenges\, and institutional weaknesses in the seed sector. This will then inform the development of a Joint Action/ Improvement Plan and Accountability Framework to guide reform implementation\, and technical support provided to NASC\, NVRC\, and other regulatory agencies.

SUMMARY:Mobilization of CSOs\, BMOs and farmer groups and organized private sector for action on agricultural budget allocation\, release and tracking
DESCRIPTION:Agriculture budgets and expenditures serve as the means through which agricultural policies are translated into tangible and targeted developmental actions. Government decisions on how to allocate and spend financial resources directly affect the agricultural programmes adopted and the well-being of citizens. However\, misallocation\, incorrect prioritisation\, abuse\, and mismanagement of funds pose significant challenges to the efficiency and effectiveness of agricultural service delivery. Citizens’ participation and civil society involvement in the processes of agricultural budgeting and financial management are essential for: promoting transparency and accountability regarding agricultural expenditures\, creating safeguards against corruption\, and ensuring that public funds are allocated fairly and disbursed in ways that adequately address the interests and needs of the private sector\, including women and marginalised groups. \nPropcom+ is bringing together CSOs\, BMOs\, farmer groups\, and organised private sector actors to:\n1. Strengthen platforms of market enablers for improved agricultural governance\, policy implementation\, planning\, and service delivery\, while supporting climate-resilient and conflict-sensitive agricultural practices at subnational levels.\n2. Facilitate linkages between governments: State\, LGAs\, private sector actors\, and non-state actors to scale and sustain market system solutions\, while addressing existing challenges.\n3. Provide a roadmap for state and LGA-level focused engagement processes with key actors on the implementation of agricultural development: (Policies\, plans\, and budgets).\n4. Integrate strategic advocacy and communication to promote informal rules\, norms\, and practices that influence agricultural market behaviour\, aiming to improve market functionality\, promote inclusive participation\, and strengthen transparency in rural agricultural systems.

SUMMARY:International Day of Rural Women
DESCRIPTION:The International Day of Rural Women (15 October) highlights the essential role that rural women play in the food systems of the world. \nFrom production of crops to processing\, preparing and distributing foods\, women’s labour – paid and unpaid – feeds their families\, communities and the world. Yet\, they do not wield equal power with men\, and as a result\, they earn less income and experience higher food insecurity. \nDespite our planet’s capacity to provide sufficient and good food for all\, hunger\, malnourishment\, and food insecurity are rising in many parts of the world. The COVID-19 pandemic\, along with climate crises\, have made matters worse: some 2.37 billion people did not have enough to eat in 2020 –that’s 20 per cent more than the year before.

SUMMARY:Zero Emissions Day
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of Zero Emissions Day is to offer a preview of what a planet without the release of fossil fuels into the air would look like. A single day to raise awareness on the impact of our daily emissions\, which are gases and particles emitted by electricity\, agriculture\, or transportation. \nAs we noticed during COVID lockdowns\, a global shutdown of human activity allowed air pollution to lower drastically. Each individual needs to make an effort to limit emissions\, as they directly affect human health and the environment\, causing climate change\, air pollution\, extreme weather events\, and more. \nTheme: Giving our planet a day off a year \nPurpose/objective: To promote Propcom+ as a programme supporting zero emissions \nApproach: Social Media Campaign \nActivities: Promote photos showing various activities and interventions supported by Propcom+ that are reducing carbon footprint
