On May 6, 2025, the ETK Nigeria team, alongside senior colleagues from ETK United Kingdom, conducted a project monitoring visit to the ISSAM (Improving Smallholder Farmers’ Access to Small-Scale Agricultural Mechanization Services) project in Nigeria, implemented by TracTrac MSL in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation.

The ISSAM project is designed to strengthen Nigeria’s agricultural mechanization value chain by equipping over 6,000 young adults, primarily young women and individuals living with disabilities, with the entrepreneurial skills needed to become Mechanisation Service Providers (MSPs).

Led by Michael Odeh, Head of ETK Nigeria’s Project Management Office, the visit formed part of ETK’s regular monitoring and oversight responsibilities, highlighting our role as the Institutional Strengthening Partner for the ISSAM project.
