Self Help Africa<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self Help Africa (SHA) is an international development organization founded in Ireland in 1965, with headquarters in Ireland and the United States and operations across seven African countries: Nigeria, Ethiopia, Kenya, Burkina Faso, Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia. SHA has a proven track record of successfully designing and delivering large-scale, donor-funded programs, supported by leading development partners including Irish Aid, the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), the European Union, Mastercard Foundation, GiveWell and other international agencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operating in Nigeria since 1999, SHA has built extensive experience in designing and implementing community-centered, systems-strengthening interventions that address poverty, public health, climate resilience, and sustainable development. The organization’s approach combines technical expertise, strong government partnerships, community engagement, and private-sector collaboration to deliver sustainable outcomes at scale. Across Nigeria, SHA has reached more than 5,000 communities through programs spanning water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), waste management, agriculture and food systems, climate adaptation, market systems development, and natural resource management.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Background<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHA is partnering with the World Food Programme to implement the Strengthening Food Systems project (Youth in work). The project aims to strengthen food systems that promote increased value chain employment opportunities for the youth; sustaining and improving on-farm and off-farm job opportunities for 50,000 young women and young men engaged in the different nodes of sorghum, millet, soya bean, groundnut, and horticulture value chains. The project will focus on capacity building interventions for existing enterprises, using this as an avenue to create employment opportunities for youth and women in Kano State. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
