Abstract :
The research tends to evaluate the effectiveness of implementation modalities of Anchor Barrower Program (ABP) from the perspectives of benefiting smallholder farmers in northwestern Nigeria. Qualitative research paradigm will be deployed through focus group discussions with the benefiting smallholder farmers in seven northwestern states of Nigeria. Members of Rice Farmers Association of Nigeria (RIFAN) in each of the states served as a focus group. The Anchor Barrower Program implementation modalities issued by Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) were used as thematic areas for the discussion. The research made interesting findings which highlights the scope for improvement in Anchor Barrower Program implementation modalities. The key of these areas include training aspect of the implementation modalities which in practical terms is significantly lacking. The strategic monitoring especially from the perspectives of farmers is also lacking. The activities and operations of vendors that supply inputs to farmers need to checked and strategically sanitized. The concerned of the farmers during town hall meetings need to attended to. The paper also highlights some important areas in which future research will be conducted.
