Six Months into ESTRRA Project: How Foundation’ Investment Is Changing Rural Lives in Bauchi

Six months into implementation, the ESTRRA Project is already transforming livelihoods across Northern Bauchi. Funded by the HEINEKEN Africa Foundation and implemented by FSSS, the initiative is helping thousands of smallholder farmers access agricultural services, expand income opportunities, strengthen rural enterprises and build resilience to climate change. From empowering women and youth to supporting agripreneurs and restoring degraded landscapes, the project is laying the foundation for a more prosperous and sustainable future.

More than 80% of farmers in Northern Bauchi report declining yields as climate change, land degradation, and limited access to agricultural services continue to threaten rural livelihoods. The ESTRRA Baseline Study reveals both the scale of the challenge and the opportunity for transformation through regenerative agriculture, climate-smart farming, stronger seed systems, and inclusive agricultural development.
