The ultimate goal being to address the causes of poverty with an expected impact of increased incomes for 150,000 poor people, 50% of which should be women in the nine states of the Niger Delta, over a four and half year period (2013-2018).MADE facilitates change, improve performance, sustainability, and pro-poor growth in selected markets by:• Selecting and working in sectors in which poor men and women are actively engaged;• Motivating market actors to change their behaviour in a sustainable and catalytic way; and • Facilitating access to new knowledge, information, services and/or technologies to small/medium-scale farmers and entrepreneurs.
