------------------- 
Project Description 
------------------- 
 
1.  Refugees at the Oru Camp in Ogun State, Nigeria, 
especially women, face serious difficulties acquiring the 
skills necessary for successful reintegration in their home 
countries or for successful participation in the Nigerian 
local economy while they are here.  The UNHCR currently 
partners with an NGO, Arable Crop Development and Marketing 
Company of Nigeria (ACDMC), to provide Oru refugees, 
specifically women (including single mothers), with 
productive agricultural opportunities.  Mission proposes 
$20,000 grant from the 2006 Ambassadors' Fund for Refugees to 
the ACDMC to create farming cooperatives at Oru and purchase 
cassava farming equipment for their use.  ACDMC has assessed 
cassava farming to be one of the most profitable areas for 
refugees to build skills that will help them integrate into 
their home economy or the local community if they do not wish 
to repatriate.  Training sessions funded under this proposal 
would terminate by December 31, 2006.  UNHCR has provided a 
detailed proposal, forwarded to PRM ref B, including 
performance and impact indicators. 
 
--------------------- 
Project Justification 
--------------------- 
 
2.  Refugees at Oru, especially women, lack marketable skills 
and consequently remain inactive at the camp, unable to 
integrate into their surrounding community and unwilling to 
repatriate.  At a recent meeting of refugees, over 50 per 
cent told USG officials they had resided at the camp more 
than 10 years.  Food allotments at the camp meant for the 
infirm, elderly, and young children are routinely stretched 
to feed unemployed and indigent refugees.  Because of lack of 
opportunity, many refugees stay at the camp awaiting possible 
resettlement to a third country, although most resettlement 
programs, especially for Liberians, are sunsetting.  Single 
mothers are most seriously underrepresented in skilled 
occupations and are therefore in danger of being exploited 
for prostitution to provide for themselves and their 
children.  Trafficking is a threat.  ACDMC's project requires 
a minimum of 50% participation by women and is sure to help 
rectify gender imbalance in skilled occupations at the camp. 
 
3.  ACDMC identified 350 refugee households already engaged 
or interested in agricultural activity.  Currently, only 8.34 
hectares of land are available to them and only 180 
households can currently be served.  The present project 
would arrange for the use of an additional 5 hectares of 
land, purchased by the GON, and allow 170 more households to 
be included.  If the GON fails to purchase the needed land, 
ACDMC has arranged to use land in surrounding communities on 
a cooperative basis.  Of the 170 households currently 
expressing interest, only 30 are headed by females.  ACDMC 
will continue to elicit interest in the program from female 
heads of households and will prefer them for participation in 
the program until 85 of the 170 households are those headed 
by women. 
 
4.  Nigerian law will soon require all flour produced in the 
country to contain at least ten per cent cassava flour, and 
prospects for cassava farmers are on the rise.  Expanding 
UNHCR and ACDMC programs in this area by purchasing equipment 
and sponsoring training sessions will therefore empower 
refugees and enable them to leave the camp and integrate into 
their surrounding community if they do not want to repatriate 
and before UNHCR funding and aid programs dissipate.

Code of Conduct 
--------------- 
 
5.  Mission has received a copy of the UNHCR Nigeria code of 
conduct, which was signed by ACDMC.  The code meets the core 
principles listed ref A. 
 
------------------------------- 
Mission Capacity to Award Grant 
------------------------------- 
 
6.  Mission oversaw the successful completion of the FY05 PRM 
grant (ref C) for construction of latrines.  As suggested by 
Department, the grant was announced by press release, and the 
 
LAGOS 00000563  002 OF 002 
 
 
latrines were commissioned by formal ribbon-cutting ceremony. 
 An official highlight has been sent to Department through 
Lagos PAS (ref B).  Mission has the contract authority and 
capacity to award a grant to ACDMC prior to end of FY2006. 
 
7.  This cable has been cleared by Embassy Abuja and USAID.
