Context

Context: In response to the growing importance of the livestock sector to Nigeria’s economy and food security, the Federal Government of Nigeria established a new Ministry of Livestock to oversee and regulate this critical industry. The ministry was tasked with the responsibility of developing policies, strategies, and frameworks to manage livestock resources effectively and to ensure sustainable growth in the sector. However, as a newly established entity, the ministry required technical assistance to develop its operational framework, build capacity, and establish affiliated parastatals to support its mandate.

Actions

Sydani Group, through its Agriculture Division, was engaged to provide technical assistance for the setup of the Ministry of Livestock and its affiliated parastatals. Our team played a pivotal role in developing a comprehensive strategy for the ministry, focusing on capacity building, institutional strengthening, and data-driven decision-making. We conducted a thorough assessment of the ministry’s needs, provided expert guidance on organizational structure, and facilitated the development of operational protocols. Additionally, we supported the ministry in establishing data collection and management systems to ensure that all strategies and policies were grounded in accurate and up-to-date information.

The Results

The ongoing technical assistance has significantly strengthened the Ministry of Livestock’s capacity to fulfill its mandate. The ministry is now better equipped with a data-driven strategy development approach, which has improved its ability to make informed decisions and implement effective policies. The capacity-building efforts have also enhanced the skills and knowledge of the ministry’s staff, enabling them to manage livestock resources more efficiently and contribute to the sustainable growth of Nigeria’s livestock sector. As the ministry continues to develop, the foundational work provided by Sydani Group will ensure that it operates with a strong strategic vision and the necessary tools to achieve its objectives.
