Complementary indicators are identified as those in the results framework that are not repeated verbatim in the results framework of another United Nations entity, but are related or provide different but complementary lenses or insights into the same issue, high-level result and/or area of complementary work, such as a Sustainable Development Goal target.
ComplementarySN Output 2.1: Women farmer-organizations /cooperatives have improved access to land and productive resources for climate-resilient agriculture, strengthened capacities to improve their participation in and benefits from green value-chains through better access to financing, insurance, infrastructure, and markets (including the digitally assisted)

In 2023, the CO faced limitations in implementing interventions for a particular indicator due to constrained resources. Despite this challenge, the CO actively engaged with various donors to mobilize funds for the agriculture sector. Notably, a comprehensive climate-smart agriculture program was developed in collaboration with the African Development Bank, which is currently being considered as a potential donor. Recognizing the government's role as a regulator, the CO worked at both national and sub-national levels to advocate for affirmative procurement reforms. At the national level, technical support was provided to develop Nigeria's inaugural Women Economic Empowerment Policy. This policy, including affirmative procurement as a key driver of economic empowerment, received approval from the president. A high-level advisory council, with UN Women as the secretariat, was established. Additionally, at the subnational level, the Kaduna State Government drafted an affirmative procurement policy with a specific quota for women-owned businesses. In Lagos State, gender-responsive procurement clauses were included in procurement regulations and guidelines. However, approval of these documents is pending with the respective state governors, with delays attributed to the general elections and changes in government in 2023. Furthermore, the CO conducted gender-responsive assessments of the mining and maritime sectors in Nigeria, aiming to identify specific gender lens policies for advancing gender equality and women's empowerment in these sectors. Additionally, the CO developed project documents focusing on specific agriculture value chains showing significant potential for advancing gender equality and empowering women in agriculture. These initiatives are strategically designed to maximize their positive impact. Lastly, in response to the removal of fuel subsidies in Nigeria and the growing demand for alternative energy sources, the CO initiated a successful pilot program on biogas. There is now interest from potential donors willing to support the scaling up of this initiative in 2024.Disclaimer and notes
