“…However, the level of participation in Fadama programme has been low and this has been attributed to a number of factors. Several authors including Adegbite et al (2008), Muhammad et al (2011), Ike (2012), Innih & Dimelu (2013) and Alabi et al (2014) have studied the effects of Fadama II cooperatives on different economic outcomes such as the beneficiaries (FUGs) livelihood, resource use efficiency, optimal plan for Fadama farming, and socio-economic status of the farmers. Meanwhile, few studies have been carried out on the effects of Fadama II cooperatives on poverty alleviation among the farmers, leaving a gap in literature.…”

Summary This study investigated the effects of Fadama II cooperatives on poverty status of farming households in Oyo State, Nigeria. Specifically, the study assessed the level of participation in Fadama II cooperatives among the participants; determined the factors influencing the level of participation in Fadama II cooperatives; examined the poverty status of the participants in Fadama II cooperatives; and determined the effects of Fadama II cooperatives on the poverty status of the participants. The study was conducted in Oyo State, south-western Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select respondents for this study. A total number of 150 farmers were selected for the study. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, participation index, multinomial logit regression model, Foster, Greer and Thorbecke (FGT) index, and Probit regression model. The result showed that the respondents participated in the designated activities carried out within their respective Fadama II cooperatives, with the maximum participation in payment of counterpart fund (100%), followed by participatory rural appraisal process (86.7%). Participation index revealed that the majority (46.7%) of the respondents had their level of participation above the grand mean. Interestingly, gender, farming experience and income from Fadama II cooperative positively and significantly influenced both partial and full participation in Fadama II cooperatives. The poverty line is observed to be ₦44300 per month ($115.36 per month). The incidence, depth and severity of poverty are estimated to be 0.28, 0.067 and 0.013, respectively. Probit estimates revealed that Fadama II cooperatives had significant and positive effect on alleviating the poverty status of the participants. Following the findings of the study, government and non-governmental organizations are encouraged to ensure that more farmers participate in Fadama II cooperatives. In addition, the approach of Fadama II cooperatives should be adopted for intervention programmes in developing countries that depend on agriculture not only for feeding their population but also as a business venture.

This study sought to ascertain factors that affect facilitation of agricultural programmes as perceived by different gender groups among facilitators of FADAMA 111 development programme in Enugu State. It ascertained the perception of the gender groups on the organizational, job related and employee related factors. The data were analyzed with mean, standard deviation and t-test. Results indicate that out of the various identified organizational factors that affect facilitators in Enugu National Fadama Development Project III only one, monitoring and Evaluation System (t=-3.08*) was perceived differently by both men and women facilitators. From the various identified job related factors that affect facilitators in Enugu NFDP III only insufficient authority (t= 1.17) was perceived differently by both men and women facilitators. The results also show that from the various identified employee/personnel factors that affect facilitators in Enugu NFDP III, involvement in social meetings, involvement in house chores, size of family, relationship with spouse, proximity to client and extended family burden were perceived differently by both men and women facilitators. Based on the findings of the study, some factors were identified to affect the facilitators differently because of their genders differences. Hence, there is need to consider these factors and ensure balanced working conditions for both men and women facilitators in the NFDP III. This will help to ultimately improve their job performance.
