Wanel-aedon Development Association (Waneledon) will use the project fund to pay salaries and related expenses, select farmers, buy bags of maize, and cassava cuttings and distribute them to 71 women farmers for cultivation, hire agricultural extension services to train them; buy goats and pigs for 24 farmers and have them trained by a veterinarian. Also, they will obtain 5 garri processing equipment and fence the processing sites, provide seed funding to selected 12 traders, train 10 women in dressmaking and buy 10 sewing machines for them; and train 8 women in hairdressing and provide them with basic tools. These will improve the livelihoods of beneficiaries and reduce gender inequality.
