UK targets 4 million Nigerians with climate change programme

The United Kingdom has announced the launch of its programme, Propcom+, supporting climate and growth to address environmental, social, and economic challenges in Nigeria’s food and land-use system.

This was announced on Wednesday by the UK’s Foreign Secretary, James Cleverly. 

A £55 million contract and £2.89m grant was announced as part of the £95m Propcom+ eight-year UK International Climate Finance programme, aimed at supporting climate-resilient and sustainable agriculture and forestry that benefits people, climate and nature.

The programme aims to support over four million people, 50% of whom will be women, to adopt and scale sustainable agricultural practices that increase productivity and climate resilience while reducing emissions and protecting natural ecosystems.
