This country brief supports GCAN's goal of integrating gender, climate resilience, and nutrition considerations into policy by providing policymakers, program officers, and researchers with an analysis of Nigeria’s current situation and policy objectives in these areas. A recent study from Andam et al. (2023) underscores the vital role of Nigeria’s agrifood system in the country's economy. In 2019, Nigeria's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) stood at $469.3 billion, supported by a workforce of 66.8 million people (Andam et al. 2023). The agrifood sector made a substantial contribution, generating $175.3 billion in GDP and providing employment for 41.9 million individuals. This sector encompasses both primary agriculture and off-farm activities, including processing, trade, transport, food services, and input supply. Primary agriculture alone contributed $103.3 billion to GDP and employed 32.2 million people. Off-farm agrifood activities contributed approximately 40 percent of the agrifood GDP and 20 percent of agrifood employment (Andam et al. 2023). Despite its importance, Nigeria's agrifood sector faces significant challenges. The country is Africa’s most populous nation, with an estimated 206 million people, and is endowed with abundant natural resources, including oil and gas. However, the country is grappling with severe security and environmental challenges. Persistent violence in the country’s northeast region, coupled with armed banditry, kidnappings, and conflicts between farmers and herders in the northwest and north-central regions, have led to widespread displacement and escalating food insecurity. Like other sub-Saharan countries, Nigeria is vulnerable to climate-related shocks, such as perennial flooding and dry spells (Echendu, 2020). Climate-induced disruptions to agriculture reduce the availability and affordability of diverse and nutrientrich foods. Malnutrition remains a critical issue in the country, with high rates of stunting, wasting, and micronutrient deficiencies affecting millions. These nutritional deficits not only compromise individual wellbeing but also limit educational outcomes, labor productivity, and long-term national development.
