“…The critical objective of any evaluation of this nature was to establish that a non-participating group, who in the absence of the school feeding intervention would have had outcomes similar to the participants. In support of this assertion, Oloruntoba (2000) posited that the comparison group (nonparticipants) gives us an idea of what would have happened to the participating group if it had not been exposed, and thus allows us to obtain an estimate of the average effect on the treatment group (participants). The study therefore involved selection of 360 sample size using Krejcie and Morgan Table (1970) by randomized pairing of 180 participating and 180 non-participating pupils based on similar socio-economic characteristics.…”

The study investigated how policy intervention could have significant impact on beneficiaries. Using quasi-experimental design, 360 pupils from participating and non-participating schools in a feeding program were selected from a rural setting. Instrument for data collection was validated, pre-tested and administered on cross-section of respondents. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test and regression analyses. Findings show that significant differences existed in educational outcomes as participating pupils performed better in core subjects of English Language, Mathematics and Integrated Science. In terms of socioeconomic determinants, findings show that selected variables such as sex of pupils and number of dependents in the family had directly impacted on the performance of pupils. The study also found causal link between the school feeding intervention and others as one of the multiplier effects was not only an increased enrolments by almost a quarter, but reduced dropout and absenteeism rates. This implied that the policy environments was sufficiently pro-poor and effective since it has strengthened the standard of foundational primary school and completion rate envisaged in the educational policy. It is recommended that further policy options that would facilitate the scaling-up of the program in the entire intervention area be formulated.

“…The result further showed that 12.5% of the women farmers were in the age group 21-30 years; this indicates that youth that is the young women in the area are not actively involved in farming activities which could be as a result of persistent rural-urban migration. However, (Ogungbile et al, 2002) and (Oloruntoba, 2000) asserted that farmers in this age range are always active and this can lead to positive effect on agricultural activities if they are available to participate in the farm chores. Age has also been reported by (Amaza et al, 2009) in their work on changes in household food security and poverty status in Southern part of Borno State to determine how active and productive the farmer would be.…”

The study was specifically conducted to examine the impact of Fadama III project on women empowerment in Darazo Local Government, Bauchi State, Nigeria. A sample of 110 women were randomly selected from four Fadama Community Association’s (FAC’s) constituting of eight Fadama User Groups (FUGs) and other economic interest groups; drawn from the two districts of Darazo and Sade in Darazo Local Government. A structured questionnaire administered through interview was used to obtained relevant data. Findings revealed that the livelihood activities in which women farmers were mostly involved were related to (35%) small ruminant animals (sheep and goats) breeding with major animals being sheep, subsequently followed by (35%) groundnut processing machines being their major economic activities in the study area. Finally the research recommends various methods and strategies for empowering women in order to become productive members of the society.

“…Less advantaged positions persist even among professional women (Gunderson 1989). In support of this assertion Fameso (1992) and Oloruntoba (2001) found that male scientists still largely dominate agricultural research institutes in Nigeria. In terms of gender productivity, however, contradictory views were expressed.…”
