NWAPDI’s mission is to revolutionize Nigeria’s agricultural sector by empowering women farmers with the knowledge, resources, and support needed to build sustainable agricultural enterprises. We work to break down barriers that have historically limited women’s participation in commercial agriculture while promoting food security and economic growth across Nigeria.
Founded in 2015 by a coalition of agricultural experts and women’s rights advocates, NWAPDI has grown from a small grassroots movement into a nationally recognized organization with over 20 million members across Nigeria. What sets NWAPDI apart is our unique blend of traditional wisdom and modern innovation.
We recognize that Nigerian women farmers possess generations of agricultural knowledge, and we build upon this foundation by introducing sustainable modern practices and technologies.
Our approach ensures that cultural values are preserved while embracing the advantages of contemporary farming methods. What sets NWAPDI apart is our unique blend of traditional wisdom and modern innovation.
