African farmers are capable of producing enough food to meet the growing needs of African consumers if guided.

They can produce crops like maize, rice, cassava among others.

These foods are the backbone of most African diets.

Only wheat ( two-thirds of the consumption) are rice ( half) is imported in significant amounts for regional consumption.

According to the FAO, the African continent imported about US$ 3 billion more food than it exported in 2006.
This rose during the price spike of 2008 and early 2009.

It is noted that for successful production and commercialization in growing markets, African producers need to be competitive in production. Yields of staple grains are low.

African farmers, especially women small holders need support from agricultural research and extension services, access to seeds and fertilizers .

Therefore, Naigobya village is calling upon scholars, professionals, development practitioners and the rest to design a community driven development Action programme which will be delivered in partnership. This will guide the development and delivery of project in the said village whose poverty rate ranges from 27% to 62% which is one of the highest in the Country.

Under this, there should be inquiry into greater civic participation and community empowerment.
