Excerpt:
The training programme, themed “Seed of Empowerment: Growing Women in Lagos,” equips participants with practical skills, agricultural knowledge and access to income-generating opportunities suited to urban environments. According to the organisers, the initiative is aligned with the National Agricultural Technology Innovation Policy and is directly linked to the 500 billion Offtake Guarantee Fund under the Produce for Lagos Programme launched in July 2025. Through this structure, participants are guaranteed a steady income every two to three weeks, ensuring that empowerment outcomes translate into measurable financial stability for households.
Plans are already underway to scale the programme significantly in 2026, with organisers targeting at least 120,000 women across all local governments and LCDAs in Lagos State. Speaking at the launch, the President of UNESCO REF described the initiative as a shift from charity to capacity building, noting that while philanthropy offers short-term relief, long-term empowerment comes from skills, access and sustainable income models. He said the programme is structured to transform lives and communities, with a broader vision of expanding similar interventions to other states across the country to strengthen Nigeria’s national food system.
