Mainstreaming Community Driven Development Approach into Nigerian's Agricultural & Rural Development |
| |
PREMISE: Paradigm shift in Agricultural and Rural Development emphasizes community-driven approach which gives control of decisions and resources to community groups. This enhances sustainability of development projects especially those with external support.
Available evidence shows that there exits limited capacity among the rural communities and development workers to rise up to the challenges of taking of their development agenda. One potent way of addressing the issues involved is by exposing organizers facilitators and executive committee members of community-based associations and groups to the basic principles of community- driven development (CDD) and concepts of participatory development.
OBJECTIVES: This workshop is, therefore, to enhance the participants capacity in the application of the CDD approach to agricultural and rural development. At the end of the course participants should be able to: |
|
|
- describe how rural development strategies have evolved in Nigeria;
- discuss the key elements of the new Agricultural and Rural Development Policies;
- describe the pillars of community-driven development; and
- apply the concept of community-driven development to Nigeria's agricultural and rural development situation.
