 The United Nations, in collaboration with Oxfam Nigeria and other development partners, has successfully empowered over 40,000 households in six local government areas of Terabastat. This was made during a two-day project close-out review meeting in Abuja. Plus TV Emmanuel Eugenie completes the report. The project close-out review meeting is part of the European Union supports to food security and resilience in Terabastat, where six local government areas were used as pilots to empower households who, before now, were living below the poverty line. According to findings at the review meeting, the initiative shows that the project has recorded much success, with 40,000 households now fully in part. Oxfam says Terabastat was chosen due to the inequality analysis carried out in the state, which showed a very high level of poverty. We are now partless and back on this journey with a commitment to one, reduce poverty, two, enhance food and nutrition security, three, address gender inequality, and four, build resilience against numerous challenges faced by our rural brothers and sisters. Through our ambitions, the project has been a beacon of change, resilience, and empowerment in the rural communities of Terabastat. This is because our dedicated efforts led by our staff and partners have resulted in impressive outcomes. One, a notable 83.2% increase in livelihood assets within households. Two, enhance production and livestock and feed value chains for 82% of farmers. Three, a significant 55% of women experiencing increased access to resources and control over assets. And finally, the empowerment of 35% of farmers, particularly women, contributing to improve livelihoods to mention but a few of their children. Development partners describe the project as a beacon of positive change, as it has uplifted the vulnerable and marginalized people in the state. The Prosser project has truly been a beacon of positive change, contributing significantly to the lives of over 40,000 households, whose livelihoods rely on agricultural and natural resource-based activities. Through strategic interventions, encompassing best practice, knowledge transfer, household and productive assets transfers, financial inclusion services, market linkages, and social safety programs, we have witnessed a transformative impact on the ground. As part of the design of this program, we thought that by improving the skills and the capacity of rural farmers, they will be able to do better in the area of production, in the area of preservation, in the area of marketing of the produce that they get from their various farms. And we are delighted that today we're here, coming to the end of that particular milestone in our engagement, not only with Nigeria as the European Union, but also with Tharaba State Government. The State Government expresses joy at the positive effects the program has had in the affected local government areas, while promising to replicate the same in other local governments. 40,000 households is not a small thing. It brought hope if you can go to all these areas and distribute consumers. I assure you, you will get the kind of respect you're going to get. It will be fantastic. A lot of people are serious, a lot of them, because they lost so much, they would like to make it all. We're appreciating the successes recorded by the project, like the proverbial Oliver Twist, civil society groups and other delegations from the state called for more partnership intervention from the EU for the sustenance of the project in Tharaba State.
