SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION, TECHNICAL BACKGROUND AND SCOPE OF WORK
Introduction: The five-year USAID Feed the Future Nigeria Agribusiness Investment Activity (hereafter referred to as “the Activity”), implemented by CNFA with Connexus Corporation and J.E. Austin Associates as sub-contractors, aims to strengthen the business enabling environment to promote private sector investment in agriculture. To achieve this goal, the Activity focuses on four interrelated components: improving the enabling environment for agricultural sector growth; broadening access to finance by mitigating the credit risks of agribusinesses; promoting and facilitating investment opportunities for agribusinesses to expand and scale up operations; and sustainably enhancing the performance of agribusiness micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). In line with the U.S. and Nigerian governments’ commitment to growing the non-oil-based economy, these efforts will increase the depth, breadth, dynamism, and competitiveness of Nigeria’s agribusiness sector.
