Success Stories
Following the removal of fuel subsidies in Nigeria in May 2023, petrol prices rose by approximately 226% by December 2023, with average retail prices rising from around N206.19 in December 2022 to over N671.86 per litre, marking the end of government-subsidised fuel prices. This severely affected smallholder farmers who depend on petrol-powered irrigation systems. In Banjiram Community of Guyuk LGA, Adamawa State, the economic pressure threatened production levels and household livelihoods.

Success Stories
For over 20 years, Baba Maurison Gilbert has relied on both rainy and dry seasons, and his own determination, to farm in the Banjiram Community of Guyuk LGA of Adamawa State. But while wet season farming came with its own challenges like flooding, erratic rain
patterns, and drought, it was the dry season that truly tested his resolve. The cost of maintaining fuel-powered
irrigation pumps, his only option for watering crops, turned farming into a costly battle for survival.

Research/Study Report
Understanding and addressing barriers to economic participation is a core component of Propcom+’s Gender and Social Inclusion (GESI) strategy and is critical to achieving the programme’s ambitious target of reaching 50% women.
Aimed primarily at an internal programme audience, this brief literature review builds on the secondary data analysis presented in the GESI Analytical Study to explore the potential of Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-based extension services in bridging gender gaps in agriculture, rather than exacerbating them.

Research/Study Report
Understanding and addressing barriers to economic participation is a core component of Propcom+’s Gender and Social Inclusion (GESI) strategy and is critical to achieving the programme’s ambitious target of reaching 50% women. Aimed primarily at an internal programme audience, this brief literature review builds on the secondary data analysis presented in the GESI Analytical Study to explore the potential of access to finance interventions to bridge gender gaps in agriculture. It draws largely on evidence from Nigeria, but also makes reference to other relevant contexts. Conclusion and tailored recommendations for Market Systems Development programmes are also outlined for further discussion.
