Einbeziehung von Klimaschutzmassnahmen in die Landwirtschaft und Ernährungssicherheit in Nigeria

The report examines the intersection of climate change and food security in Nigeria, highlighting how extreme weather, conflict, and poor infrastructure threaten agricultural productivity. It analyzes the alignment of the FMAFS Road Map, NATIP, and the NDC, while identifying critical gaps in budget utilization and policy coordination. The document advocates for a shift toward community-led, climate-smart agriculture and improved financial transparency to achieve long-term resilience.

• Agriculture is a primary economic driver for Nigeria, contributing between 19% and 25% to the GDP from 2023 to Q1 2024, with smallholder farmers producing over 60% of the nation's food.
• Nigeria faces severe food insecurity and economic vulnerability, with 152 million people (68% of the population) living in highly vulnerable conditions and an estimated 26.5 million people facing food shortages by the end of 2024.
• Climate change manifests in Nigeria through erratic rainfall, desertification affecting up to 60% of the land, and increased flooding; between 2001 and 2020, the country experienced flooding in 18 separate years.
• The agricultural sector is the second-largest contributor to Nigeria's greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for approximately 25% of national emissions, while the energy sector is the largest at 60%.
• There is a significant gap between the funding required for the National Agricultural Transformation Implementation Plan (NATIP) and actual budget allocations; agricultural spending was only 2% to 3.5% of the national budget between 2023 and 2024, far below the 10% Maputo Declaration target.
• Capital budget utilization for agricultural projects is poor, with only 17% of the NATIP target achieved in actual spending from 2022 to 2024, often due to funds being diverted to non-core infrastructure like solar street lights.
• Community-led initiatives often outperform state-led actions by leveraging local knowledge; for example, ColdHubs uses solar-powered cold storage to reduce post-harvest losses by 80% and increase farmer income by 25%.
