The mission is a prelude to the 4th Joint World Bank/Federal Government of Nigeria implementation support mission that is scheduled to take place from Nov 23 to December 5, 2015. The Pre- Implementation Support Mission led by Tayo Adewumi, National Project Coordinator, and consisted of four teams that visited the Six Core States of Anambra, Enugu, Kano, Kogi, Lagos, Niger, and two Production Cluster States (Osun and Plateau). The NFCO is most grateful for the courtesies extended to it by the participating Governments of Anambra, Enugu, Kano, Kogi, Lagos, Niger, Plateau and Osun States as well as the Fadama clients.The overall objective of the Pre Mission Technical Assistant Visit was to assess the readiness of the State for the upcoming mission and review Project Implementation progress across all the components.This report provides a summary of project status and key findings of the mission across the eight States visited.KEY PENDING ISSUES FROM THE 3RD WORLD BANK/FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MISSIONThe Project has achieved over 70% implementation of the action plan from the 3rd Supervision Mission. However, key pending issues include Harmonization of Nutritional Training Module and related activities, Technical Review Workshop for Appraisal of Fadama III performance to assist performance of AF and Engagement of consultant for economic analysis of Fadama III. 3.0 KEY FINDINGS/PROGRESS OF IMPLEMENTATION The Implementation of Four Hundred and Twenty - Four (424) approved and disbursed Business plans covering Five Thousand and Eighty - Eight (5,088) hectares of farms across the four value chains is ongoing in the States visited. Harvesting has also commenced in Niger, Enugu and Kogi States for rice and Cassava Value Chains respectively. The first Micro-Finance Bank established through savings mobilized by FFCA in Plateau State is completed and ready for take-off. Also, construction/rehabilitation of the AEHE centres are under except for Lagos and Enugu that were constrained by inadequate counterpart funds. In addition, the mission noted that all the core States are at different stages in the procurement processes for the construction of roads and irrigation infrastructure4.0 STATUS OF IMPLEMENTATION BY COMPONENTS4.1COMPONENT 1: CAPACITY BUILDING, INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION SUPPORTDistribution of Production Clusters and Production Groups along Value ChainThe Project has mobilized one hundred and seventy - four (174) Production Cluster and Nine Hundred and Six (906) production groups across four value chains in the 6 Core States. A breakdown of production Clusters and Production Groups along value chains is shown in table 1.Table 1: Distribution of Production Cluster and Production Groups along Value ChainValue ChainStatesProduction Cluster Production Groups CassavaKogi10100SorghumKano17110TomatoesKano543RiceAnambra67151Niger23119Enugu32181Lagos739Kano13163Total174906Plateau State registered two (2) Production Clusters comprising of twenty (20) Production groups for Tomatoes production while Seven (7) Production Clusters with Thirty-nine (39) Production Groups had been mobilized for Cassava production in Osun munication activities (Social Mobilization, High Level Advocacy, IEC, Media Van Utilization)High level advocacy visits and sensitization were undertaken to Key Stakeholders such as State Governors, Political Office holders, Local Government Chairmen, Traditional Rulers etc. The media vans procured for Kano, Kogi and Niger States are being utilized for awareness creation and publicity of project activities within catchment and core areas of intervention. The Project has also undertaken media publicity of its activities in the core States with Stations such as Radio Kano, Radio Lagos etc with a total number of Eighty - Nine (89) programmes aired in Kano and Lagos States with 208 jingles produced in Lagos State. 10 community film shows to all production clusters were organized in Niger State. Enugu recorded low communication activities in the State due to non-availability of Communication Officer in the State.In the Plateau State, high level sensitizations of various stakeholders have been conducted at State and LGA levels on Fadama III AF concept. The State also has a weekly programme on PRTV (Plateau Radio Television) known as Noma Tushin Arziki. However, there are minimal communication activities in Osun State due to delay in payment of counterpart fund. Moreso, there is no documentary of States implementation activities under Fadama III AF Project. Number of Women and Youth groups formed for downstream activities Of all the six core States only Kano State has formed a youth group for downstream activities under Rice value chain. . However, seven (7) PGs are currently being prepared to meet the objective of women and youth participation in downstream activities in Enugu State. Two groups (one youth and One women group) were formed for downstream activities in Plateau State, Osun State is yet to form groups for processing activities.Functionality of FFCAs and validity of Membership The FFCA is functional in Kogi and Niger States with its Membership validated. In Niger State, the FFCA has paid N4,000,000.00 (Four Million Naira) as part of its counterpart contribution for the AEHE while sourcing credit from bank for the remaining 15%. In Anambra State, FFCA in 4 LGAs have contributed the sum of N70, 000.00, while Lagos State FFCAs has N10,000,000.00 (Ten Million Naira) in its account. The validity of membership could not be ascertained in Kano State but election was conducted with officers elected into various positions. Enugu State also conducted election into different offices of the FFCA with result collated but was not yet announced as at the time of the visit.The FFCA is also functional in Plateau and Osun States, and its membership has been validated across Local Government Areas. The Federated in Plateau State has established Fadama Farmers Micro Finance Bank which is ready for commissioning by the State Government.Level of Business Plan Preparation and Implementation Four Hundred and Thirty -Two (432) approved Business Plans consisting of Three Thousand and Seven hundred and Forteen (3,714) hectares have been disbursed to and are being implemented across five core States and two production cluster States respectively. In Kano State, Rice and Sorghum farms are ready for harvest while Tomatoes are in nursery about to be transplanted. A total of 118.4mt have been harvested from 25 ha in the 100ha Special Intervention sites in Kogi State and sold to Matna Food Processing Company. In Lagos State, farmers have been supported with inputs for Rice for 3 production group on Thirty Three (33) hectares of farms. Some Production groups supported under Rice value chain in Niger and Enugu States have commenced harvesting. A breakdown of Business Plans prepared and implemented is shown in Table 2.Table 2: Status of Business Plan preparation and implementation across core StatesStateValue ChainNo. of BP PreparedNo of BPs ApprovedNo. of BPs disbursed/ Implemented No of Hectarage under the Disbursed BPsAnambraRice160Yet to be reviewed NoneEnuguRice1811811681,719LagosRice1919338NigerRice1009696990KanoRice1636357855Horticulture491515135Sorghum1105149690KogiCassava1409236215Kogi (Intervention Sites)Cassava888100Total930525432 3,714A total of forty Business Plans with Four Hundred and Forty Hectares have been prepared and approved for implementation under Cassava and Tomatoes Value Chain in Osun (20BPs) and Plateau (20BPs) States respectively. Out of the 20 approved BPs in Osun State, 13 Nos are currently being implemented, while in Plateau State, the approved 20 BPs are at various level of implementation.4.1.6Readiness of Market (Off-takers/Processors) & compliance with Signed AgreementProduction Groups have been linked with Off-takers in all the Core States with signed agreements apart from Anambra and Lagos who are yet to sign any agreement. Nine Off-takers identified across value chain in the Core States include; Annes Agro Processing Ltd, Umza Rice, Popular Rice Farms, Grand Cereals, ONYX, Dangote Ltd, Ihima, MATNA FOODS, Imota Rice Processing Mill and other Small Scale Processors and Medium Scale Off-takers.

Discussion is underway to sign agreement with Dangote Ltd (Tomatoes), Grand Cereal (Sorghum), TJ & Bismonco in Osun State (Cassava).4.1.6Mission RecommendationsSFCO should intensify efforts in signing MoUs with already identified Off-takers without further delay. Mobilization and Formation of Women and Youth groups for processing activities should be intensified.Sensitization and necessary follow up of FFCA to generate 35% commitment for AEHE Center should be intensified. Efforts should be intensified by the SFCO to prepared and process new Business Plans for funding4.2COMPONENT 2: Small Scale Community Owned Rural InfrastructureRoad construction feasibility reports in Kano, Enugu, Lagos, Anambra have been concluded by the Consultants, the evaluation reports are being reviewed by NFCO. Niger and Kogi States are at advanced stages of awarding the contract to the successful bidders.On the construction of irrigation infrastructure, Anambra State is at the completion of evaluation of bids for the five locations (Anaku, Otakpu-Omor, Itulu-Omor, Ogbakuba, Ogborji) while Enugu is at advanced stage of awarding the contracts. In Lagos, evaluation report of bids has been forwarded to NFCO while Niger State has procured 15 wash-bores and water pumps at Badeggi for the implementation Rice Value Chain activities. Niger State has completed the construction of the AEHE Centre and had procured 5 Tractors, 1 Power Tiller and Mini-combined harvester. Anambra State has recorded 15% level of work done for the construction of AEHE Centre located in Omor whereas Kano State work has commenced in the AEHE centre but the prototype design by NFCO was not adhered to, however the reconstruction of the fence and removal of the trees to create more space for equipment was ongoing. Enugu and Lagos States are unable to mobilize Contractors due to lack of counterpart fund. Kogi State has established proposed site for the construction of the center and have placed advert for bids. . Land has been allocated for the construction of the specialized tomatoes markets, cold room and Net House in Kano State. The prototype design would be forwarded to the State by NFCO shortly.Water User Committee has been formed in Niger, Anambra and Enugu States while Kano, and Lagos are at different stages of formation of the committee in their States.Mission RecommendationThe Procurement Committee should meet and conduct a field verification in order to validate the 15% work done in Anambra State and make appropriate recommendation, especially in the area of fund releases that would ensure that the target date of January, 2016 completion is not compromised.Prototype design for AEHE earlier forwarded to States should be adhered toSFCO to discuss further with FFCA on the suitability of the AEHE site before further action in Kogi State.4.3COMPONENT 3: Advisory Services and Input SupportA total of 20 Advisory Services and Inputs Consultants (ASICs) have been engaged and assigned to at least One (1) Production Cluster from the 38 recommended ASICs across the Core States to support farmers in the use of best agronomic practices for higher productivity gains. However, Anambra State has conducted the evaluation exercise and has identified 14 successful ASIC candidates but due to non-disbursement to PGs/PCs, the State is yet to engage any ASIC. Meanwhile, Osun and Plateau States have each engaged and assigned 2 and 1 number ASICs respectively to work closely with PCs. Impacts on ground reveal positive results in the activities of ASICs within the States.Farm Record Books, both at individual and group levels have been distributed to substantial number of farmers but are fairly utilized in documenting relevant activities. However, funds disbursed to PCs/PGs on agricultural Inputs do not correspond with the data uploaded on the e-voucher system. As at date, a sum of N122, 505,640 has been disbursed to agricultural inputs across the benefitting States and N79, 421,050 only representing 64.8% was captured in the e-voucher platform of the Project as at the time of the mission.

Mission RecommendationsThere is need for immediate farmers’ database upload and generation of vouchers’ e-number that will be used in the input paper voucher. Disbursements to Agricultural Inputs should be updated on the E-Voucher System at the point of issuance of inputs voucher to PCs/PGsThe ASIC and the facilitators must ensure that the farmers fill their record books accordingly and in retrospect using the records at their disposal.4.4 COMPONENT 4: Support to ADP, On-farm Demonstration and Adaptive ResearchThe existing relationship between the ADP and respective SFCO is cordial. The SFCO has fared well in terms of prompt release of fund to undertake approved ADP’s related activities. However, the SFCOs are yet to leverage on the existing relationship to facilitate production groups’ access to extension services from ADPs; an activity very critical for the attainment of one of the KPIs of Component IV. All the Fadama III AF Core States have ICT Centres which were housed in their respective State ADP’s Office Complex under Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation Unit. However, none of the centre is functional except in Niger and Lagos States where the centre is being utilized in the promotion of e-extension services to farmers. In Kogi State, the five desktop and a laptop computers in the centre have crashed due to virus attack and currently, there is no internet connectivity. All the computers and accessories in Anambra and Enugu States ICT Centres are in good condition but not connected to internet due to lack of fund to subscribe for internet connectivity. The mission noted that the earlier reported burnt generator for the ICT centre in Anambra has been repaired and functional. Meanwhile, the two Staff deployed in all the State from PM&E unit to man the centre has commenced uploading of farmers’ data in readiness for e-extension services to them. Four varietal comparison demonstrations plots were established across the 6 Fadama III AF core States except in Enugu and Lagos States. In Kano and Anambra States, three hectares each of four rice varieties (FAROs 44, 52, 60 and 61) comparison demonstration plots were established by NCRI while four hectares of same demonstrations plots were also established in Niger State. In addition, nurseries for tomato (Chibili, Kiarra and Thorgal) were established in two sites – Kwanan Gafan (Garun Mallam LGA) and Makunturi (Bunkure LGA). Furthermore, four locations have been identified by Kano SFCO together with NIHORT where the demonstration plots would be established. In Kogi State, NRCRI Umudike has established Six (6) hectares of four cassava varieties (TME419, TMS 0505, TMS 01/1368) comparison demonstration plots with emphasis on Yellow Cassava variety. However, branding of the demonstration plots were not adequately doneThe production groups/clusters have not been adequately sensitized on the window and profitability of community seed production therefore, there was no existence of production groups/clusters across the States that could be encouraged to embark on community seed production under the project. The States were urged to make conscious effort to mobilize and form groups; preferably unemployed youths which could be supported to go into community seed production. Mission RecommendationsStates should provide necessary support to the ADP and ensure that the ICT centre is functional. This will include installation of antivirus, provision of efficient internet option, renovation of the centre where necessary as well as proper branding of the ICT Centres and its equipment Conscious effort should be made by States to mobilize and register production groups/clusters that will be supported to undertake seed production as a business. States should leverage on the existing relationship to facilitate production groups’ access to extension services from ADPs. States were advised to properly brand all demonstration plots specifying the four varieties of crops being showcased on the signpost. COMPONENT 5: Productive Asset Acquisition Mission observed that none of the Core States have procured productive assets for Production groups; this was partly due to late disbursements to production groups. Development of business plans for processing activities are at different level across the states. Plateau State has procured 62No. Water pumps, 62Nos Knapsack Sprayers, 1No Wheelbarrow and 162Nos hoes for 1 Production Cluster. One Woman group and one youth group was also formed for downstream activities. Osun State is however yet to commence implementation of component V activities. Mission RecommendationsSFCOs should fast-track the mobilization and registration of Women and Youth Groups to acquire assets for processing activities. Template for ‘Processing business plan’ should be made available to the States for immediate implementation.4.6 COMPONENT 6: Project Management, M&E, Environmental & Fiduciary ManagementPROJECT MANAGEMENTThe States visited held regular meetings but need to keep and update records of minutes regularly. All Core States except Kano maintained and kept Back to Office reports of activities such as trainings, workshops, field visits, SFTC meetings and high level advocacy visits. Anambra, Niger and Lagos States presented evidence of rendering progress Monthly, Quarterly and Annual reports while Enugu and Kogi State had no weekly, monthly, quarterly nor annual reports documentation. In Kano State no monthly report was sighted only third quarter 2015 report.There were no sufficient documentation on Progress and Back to Office Reports in Plateau and Osun States respectively. MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM (MIS)Some (MIS) related challenges in the core States were resolved during the pre-mission visit, these include non-usage of input voucher, poor internet network, BPs not captured in Enugu while in Anambra virus infestation was a challenge and Lagos discrepancy between Panex and ICR data as a result of the counting method. Plateau State had a challenge of uploading farmer’s data into the database due to non-availability of members’ individual Bank account. However, less than 10% of farmers in approved business plan have been uploaded into Panex database as at the time of visit across the visiting States.ENVIRONMENT The core States have complied with all environmental safeguards however the road leading to Ibito Production Cluster Farmland in Enugu State was flooded at the time of visit. This has delayed disbursement to 7 groups in the Cluster. In Lagos State, Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) were not procured for Itoikin Production Cluster because it was above the threshold for the group.Plateau and Osun States complied with all environmental safeguard except procurement and utilization of PPE in Osun because the cost was above the threshold.Land titles were in place in the entire six (6) core States as well as Osun States except in Plateau State where Barkinladi Cluster was still processing its land title. There was no record of insurance in all the States visited, however discussions with insurance companies are currently ongoing. Anambra, Lagos, Kogi, Niger, Kano, Plateau States have formed conflict resolution committees except Enugu and Osun. Coordinates of farm sizes were well captured in the required unit (Decimal degree) in all the Core and Production States visited. PROCUREMENT PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES World Bank Procurement Guidelines was adhered to during project implementation thereby reducing risk of fund misuse. However, community based procurement procedures were not adequately followed in Enugu State. The Procurement plan for 2015 was prepared by Anambra and Enugu States and cleared by the World Bank. Total value of contract awarded for 2015 stood at USD 112,038.00 for 17 contracts and USD 61,715.32 for 8 contracts in Anambra and Enugu respectively. The average performance in terms of procurement plan implementation for actual contracts executed is 52.95% in Anambra SFCO, 40% in Enugu SFCO, 68.7% in Niger SFCO, 44% in Kogi SFCO, Lagos SFCO 44% and Kano SFCO 28%.Farm sites in all the Core States were properly branded with sign posts except in Enugu. However, in the two Production Cluster States visited ( Osun & Plateau), the farm sites locations were not branded.Anambra State has registered Seventy Three Service Providers; Forty Six (46) on Agro dealers, Ten (10) for Works, Six (6) for goods and Eleven (11) for consultancy. The Service provider database in Lagos SFCO and Osun were updated last in August, 2015. Data base of service providers were not properly collated and updated in Niger, Kogi and Enugu States.FINANCIAL MANAGEMENTThe integrity of funds flow from SFCO to service provider in Kano, Niger and Enugu is marginally satisfactory, the financial procedures are followed to certain extent and there is room for improvement. The payment voucher for all transactions between Lagos and Kogi SFCO with farmers and service providers was adequately documented with the entire relevant supporting document. Plateau SFCO did not have proper documentation, relevant supporting document before processing payment to the Service Provider. Osun SFCO did all financial transactions in accordance to financial procedures with adequate documentations of all relevant supporting documents ranging from initiating documents, approval page, quotation & evaluation letter, expression of interest, award of contract, contact agreement, input support voucher, bank statement, field inspection report and cash receipt etc.The SOEs in Enugu, Kano and Niger were assessed and the retirement of funds is encouraging but still needs to be improved upon. All items claimed under SOEs in Lagos, Kogi, Plateau and Osun State were also accessed and they were adequately retired with the necessary supporting documents. Also, mission observed that little or no disbursement have been made under component 5 activitiesTable 4: Status of SOEs Prepared Across the StatesSTATENO OF SOE PREPAREDAMOUNTKANO5138,419,803.00NIGER110,001410.00KOGI210,636,853.00ENUGU213,369,233.00LAGOS320,532,628.00PLATEAU110, 810,600.00OSUN23,882,200.00Anambra, Enugu, Kano, Kogi, Niger, Lagos and Plateau States have not received counterpart fund for 2015. The mission observed that two years arrears of the PIU allowances in Enugu SFCO have been paid, and Hotel Allowance and DSA are still being paid. The counterpart fund in Anambra State was judiciously utilized as procedures for release of funds are complied with.Table 5.0UTILIZATION OF COUNTERPART FUNDSNSTATECOUNTERPART FUND AMOUNT RECEIVED TO DATE2014 2015 =N= =N=FUND AMOUNT UTILIZED=N=BALANCE AS AT BANK STATEMENT=N=% UTILIZEDCORE STATE1LAGOS50,000,000NIL45,845,503.666,117,823.9491.69%2ANAMBRA56,355,148.0056,355,148.0029,084,000.00329,058,759.1925.80%3ENUGU50,000,000.0020,000,000.0068,295,183.331,704,816.6797.56%4KANO56,355,148.00038,164,000.0018,671,250.0067.72%5NIGER60,000,000.0020,000,000.0079,949,890.3550,109.6599.93%6KOGI56,355,000.00055,688,813.67661,186.3398.82%PRODUCTION CLUSTER STATE7OSUN35,000,000.00Nil5,798,084.4659,092,727.1916.56%8PLATEAU35,000,000.00NANANANA*NA- (Not Available as at the time of writing this report)On the basis of approved BPS, Funds were released to the Core and Production Cluster States except Anambra for the implementation.
