The IFAD Agrihub Nigeria project focuses on developing the skills of unemployed Nigerian youth and aspiring agripreneurs to become self-employed or secure employment in agriculture. Through its various initiatives, the project aims to improve the livelihoods of youth in the rural economy. Agrihub intends to operate an inclusive model that provides opportunities for people with low levels of education.
The renewable energy training is a partnership between IFAD Agrihub Nigeria project and Ashdam Solar Academy. The programme provides a solid curriculum for young women to acquire knowledge on renewable technologies that can be used in farms and households by providing them with low-cost and high-efficiency solar-powered generators and irrigation systems.
The programme includes classroom teaching, practical learning in the field and internships. Through the training, the selected beneficiaries gain insights into starting businesses or taking up employment in the agricultural industry.
