Abstract

This paper appraises the impact of the National Fadama Development
Project Phase 11 on rural infrastructural provision and household farm
yield in Kaduna state. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided
the study. Questionnaire was used for data collection. The sample of the
study was 465 consisting of 415 FPFs and 50 EAs. Findings of the study
revealed that infrastructural facilities were more available in the study area
after the implementation of the project than before it was implemented.
Also farmers recorded increases in their farm yield on the different
agricultural enterprises as a result of participation in the project. It was
recommended, among others that measures should be taken to sustain the
improved agricultural practices brought about by the project.
