MADE II is a DFID funded programme which seeks to raise the incomes of at least 155,000 poor people, 50 per cent of whom will be women by using the “Making Markets Work for the Poor (M4P)” approach to design systemic and sustainable interventions that generate pro-poor and inclusive economic growth in the non-oil sectors of the nine Niger Delta states. Edo State Investment Portfolio (ESIP) is a MADE II component focused on creating aspirational employment opportunities for vulnerable women, youth and returnees to counteract the increasing popularity of illegal migration.
