Sociocapital conducted the Mid-Term Review of the USAID-funded ‘Water for Agriculture’ project interventions targeted at sustainably increasing water availability and management towards increasing agricultural productivity amongst 4,000 farmers and 50,000 herders in Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states in North-Eastern Nigeria.
Sociocapital supported the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and the World Food Program to equip and support Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (MSMEs), the private sector, as well as humanitarian and development actors within the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Business Network to collaboratively adopt safe and healthy nutrition business practices through the development of global convergence toolkit, technical assistance strategy and revised governance framework.
Using data to inform its Total Market Approach (TMA) strategies and measure progress, Sociocapital supported the delivery of a baseline assessment to generate the qualitative insights needed to contribute to the goal of reducing maternal and perinatal mortality in line with the SMGL 2.0 project objectives – improved access to and quality of maternal and new-born care and institutional delivery services; and strengthened collaboration and partnership between government and the private health sector.
In expanding the country’s equitable contraceptive technology access, Sociocapital supported the development of the national Hormonal Intrauterine System (H-IUS) product introduction strategy that addresses specific country requirements from selection to scale-up in a manner that is wholly government-led. The strategy development process was built on market insights based on a realistic contraceptive investment case which incorporated behavioural economics principles, social behaviour changes (SBC) theories and design thinking methodologies.
Sociocapital supported Development Alternatives, International (DAI) – the Fleming Funding local partner in Nigeria to develop a comprehensive Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and Antimicrobial Use (AMU) communication strategy that would drive behaviour change amongst stakeholders in the aquaculture value chain.
