    SEDIN has selected four VCs: sheanut/-butter in Niger (after recorded success in five years, this value chain will be replaced by another VC to be selected soon), cassava in Ogun, potato in Plateau and construction with a focus on the low-cost housing sector as a cross-cutting non-agricultural VC in all states.

    SEDIN recognizes that women play a fundamental role in moving the Nigerian economy forward and therefore aims at increasing their participation in economic activities in its programme states.
