Groundnut Upscaling Project, N2Africa, GreenSahel,

WOFAN, Greenspore, Maina Seeds, Jukur Seed,

NGROPMAN, Cowpea Marketers (Dawanau)

Organize a stakeholders’ workshop

- Stakeholders’ meetings: twice in a year (April/May to

Multi stakeholders platforms established in Nigeria for

groundnut.

- Expand and use existing platforms from TL II

Activity 6.2. Establish Multi-Stakeholders Platforms

Platform members trained in seed production and business

management (trainees to be disaggregated by gender, category

and type of training) per year and target crop [Groundnut: 2500]

Types of training: improve production practices in legumes,

harvest and postharvest handling and marketing & business

management

KNARDA, BSADP, JARDA, KTARDA & Green Sahel to train

500 participants each in the 3 trainings for groundnut

Activity 6.4. Popularize New Varieties

a) 2500 copies of seed production, postharvest, seed

business management guides produced and shared with

partners annually.

b) 50 Demonstrations for each crop to be established each

year. Demonstrations to include basic N2Africa-

recommended package of inoculum and agronomy

practices.

- Each of the 4 ADPs & Green Sahel to establish 10

demos for groundnut.

a) Field days (50% female participants) held annually each

year.

- Each of the 4 ADPs & Green Sahel to conduct 2 field

days for groundnut.

Activity 6.4. Popularize New Varieties

a) Electronic (TV, radio) programs per crop and print media

disseminated annually in each country (5 for groundnut

and 2 for cowpea).

- The 4 ADPs & Green Sahel to conduct 1 TV, radio and

print media programs

b) Agri/seed fairs/exhibition/shows (50% female

participation) organized per year (5 for groundnut and 2 for

cowpea).
