Project Vector: Phase I — STRIDES: Strengthening Delivery Systems
The Office of the Vice President, Federal Republic Of Nigeria (Agribusiness & Productivity Enhancement) Project Management Office (AgPE-PMO), recently concluded Project Vector, Value Enhancement Through Coordinated Training, Operations and Results, a three-phase national capacity-strengthening programme built to strengthen agricultural project delivery across federal, state, and ecosystem levels in Nigeria.
Phase I, STRIDES (Strengthening Delivery Systems), brought together senior project coordinators, programme managers, and Monitoring and Evaluation leads from federal ministries and national agricultural programmes.
The sessions focused on strengthening the design, monitoring, and reporting of programmes.
Participants worked through results frameworks, looked at reporting tools and dashboards currently in use across federal programmes, and put the international development partners’ standards into practice.
Dedicated sessions on digital and AI-enabled monitoring introduced participants to data collection platforms, early-risk dashboards, and programme supervision tools suited to the scale and complexity of Nigeria’s agricultural portfolio.
By the close of Phase I, participating teams had developed revised results frameworks and practical reporting improvement plans, equipping them to meet donor performance standards with greater confidence and consistency.
The revised results frameworks and reporting improvement plans developed during Phase I represent a practical step forward in strengthening accountability and programme performance across Nigeria’s federal agricultural portfolio.
Phase II, BRIDGE, would build on this foundation by addressing delivery at the state and community levels.
