Impact of Women Participation in Fadama III Additional Financing Project in the Development of Rural Communities in Rivers State, Nigeria

C. E Ukpatu · 2026 · INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE AND EARTH SCIENCE

Summary. Women in Rivers State, Nigeria participated actively in the Fadama III Additional Financing agricultural project, which improved their productivity and socio-economic status. However, the project's impact on broader community development remained limited. The study of 246 rural women participants found high engagement levels but modest community-wide effects, suggesting that while individual livelihoods improved, wider rural development outcomes need strengthening through better-designed agricultural initiatives.
