About Propcom Maikarfi
Propcom Mai-karfi was an innovative, market systems development programme funded by the then United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID) now Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
Propcom Mai-karfi (PM) was a nine-year, rural and agricultural market development programme funded by the UK Government. PM sought to stimulate sustainable pro-poor growth in selected rural markets using a ‘Making Markets Work for the Poor’ (M4P) approach. The Programme worked as a market facilitator, using the ‘making markets work for the poor’ approach to identify constraints in market systems and facilitated changes to enable rural markets to work better for the benefit of poor smallholder farmers and rural small-scale entrepreneurs.
The first phase of PM (2012-2017) targeted the 19 states in Northern Nigeria. An extension was approved for an additional 31 months bringing the programme to March 2021. In April 2020, a final 9-month time extension was approved, taking the Programme to December 2021.
By the end of the programme in December 2021, PM had supported over 1.4 million smallholder farmers and SMEs to generate over £112 million in incomes and investments.
