Millennium Villages Project
in Nigeria
Objective
The Millennium Villages project
offers a bold, innovative model for
helping rural African communities
lift themselves out of extreme
poverty. The Millennium Villages
are proving that by fighting poverty
at the village level through
community led development, rural
Africa can achieve the Millennium
Development Goals.The MVP has the objective to make
sure the project is integrated into
the existing state and local
government structures. Thus, once
the project assistance from donors
draws to a close, the project
principles, systems andinvestments will more likely be
sustained in the long run. The
government and communities know
that the project assistance is
reduced over the 5 year life spanand that they must take over
full
ownership afterwards.
Output
The results thus far, at both sites,
are truly remarkable. Through the
MVP concept rural villagers lives
have been drastically transformed
in a very short period of time as a
result of effective collaboration,
science based interventions in all
sectors, knowledge sharing andincreased funding.
Localinstitutions have been
strengthened due to the technical
training provided and increase in
resources available to provide
services, the local Government,
communities and project staff are
effectively working together due to
a strong partnership built among

them, malaria is down due to the
use of bed nets, schools have
higher attendance rates due to the
school feeding program and the
construction of additional
classrooms, clinics are teeming
with people because of the
availability of medicine and more
health care workers, and
subsistence farming is quicklyturning into commercial
farming
due to the availability of improved
farming techniques, fertilizer and
seeds. The challenge now is how to
provide these services to reach the
millions of Nigerians living in rural
communities that urgently need
similar assistance and therefore
scale-up the Millennium Villages
concept.
