Micro-Projects

FGN/EU Micro-Projects Programme - Six (MPP6)

The Niger Delta is the main oil-producing area of Nigeria.  It provides most of the 95% of the government revenues deriving from crude oil production.  However, many communities in the area are amongst the least developed in the country. 

In December 1999, the European Commission adopted a Micro-Projects Programme (MPP3) for three states of the Niger Delta;; Bayelsa, Delta and Rivers States. The current programme is for a further Micro-Projects Programme (MPP6) to cover the region’s six states; Abia, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Imo and Ondo States. MPP6 provides support to rural populations to improve living standards.  Through the development of a process approach and the active participation of civil society organisations (CSOs) and community-based organisations (CBOs), the Project will support civil society engagement in development and the practise of democratic principles. 

The specific purpose of the project is to establish a range of sustainable community based micro-projects.
