The Federal Capital Territory Administration has allocated $4.5 million to the FCT Fadama CARES programme to implement three Disbursement-Linked Indicators (DLIs).
The FCT Minister of State, Mariya Mahmoud, disbursed the grants to the third batch of FCT FADAMA CARES beneficiaries for the year 2023/2024 dry season production in Abuja on Thursday.
The FCTA received a total allocation of $15 million from the World Bank for the implementation of the FCT CARES programme.
The administration and the World Bank had set a target for the FCT Fadama CARES programme to provide grant support to 12,283 individual farmers and upgrade 17 wet markets across the territory.
