RAAMP

The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) has initiated the preparation of the Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project (RAAMP), the successor of the Second Rural Access and Mobility Project (RAMP-2).The project will be supported with financing from the World Bank and the French Development Agency (AFD) and will be guided by the Government’s Rural Travel and Transport Policy (RTTP). The lead agency for the Federal Government is the Federal Department of Rural Development (FDRD) of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD).

The Federal Project Management Unit (FPMU) is overseeing the project on behalf of FDRD, while the respective state government of sixteen (16) participating states will implement it. The overall objective of RAAMP is to improve rural access and agricultural marketing in selected participating states whilst enhancing sustainability of the rural and state road networks. Ekiti State is one of the States selected to participate in RAAMP rural access.

RAAMP is to improve rural access and agricultural marketing in selected participating states, whilst strengthening the financing and institutional base for rural and state road networks.
