Labondo, Adamawa State: Women’s Struggle for Land Ownership Gets a Boost from FAO Livestock Restocking

By Samaila Emmanuel Bzugu

In a significant move to empower women in Nigeria, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has initiated a livestock restocking program, enabling women to possess their own assets and improve household nutrition and income. This initiative is particularly timely, as ownership of land continues to be a major challenge for women in the country.

The program, implemented in Labondo, Adamawa State, aims to address the systemic barriers that prevent women from accessing and controlling land. By providing livestock, the FAO is helping women to generate income, enhance food security, and improve their overall well-being.
