The Nigeria Strategy Support Program aims to:

• enhance knowledge through information, data, and tools for the analysis, design, and implementation of pro-poor, gender-sensitive, and environmentally sustainable agricultural and rural development polices and strategies in Nigeria;
• strengthen the capacity of government agencies, research institutions, and others to carry out and use applied research for agricultural and rural polices and strategies; and
• improve communication between policymakers, policy analysts, and those who benefit from agricultural and rural development policy.

NSSP carries out these objectives currently through the Agricultural Policy Support Facility (APSF), a project undertaken in collaboration with the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources and funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).

Updates about the program are available through the NSSP News and Notes blog.
