Put into great consideration were the value chains most affected by zoonotic diseases and the pandemic, resulting in poultry, piggery, and fisheries as the food chains of focus.

Beneficiaries were chosen from the Lagos Agripreneurship programme (LAP), Agric YES programme, and Value chain associations for better monitoring and impact assessment after support is given.
