This brief summarizes key findings about opportunities for young women in Nigeria’s agrifood sector, constraints affecting their participation in agrifood sector training and employment, and options for addressing these constraints. The findings are drawn from a set of focus group discussions (FGD) held in May 2017 with youth and private sector representatives in Oyo, Osun and Ogun States of southwestern Nigeria. Focus groups were composed of separate groups of young men and women, and parallel groups of selected private sector representatives from the growing poultry, aquaculture, cassava, horticulture and oilseed value chains.
