Abstract
This study appraises the World Bank financing on Agricultural Development
w i t h specific references to Kaduna and Katsina States Agricultural
Development Projects.
Established in 1985, KADP which gave birth to KTARDA in 1987 as offshoot
of Funtua Agricultural Project was established to increase agricultural
productivity and to improve the standard of living of rural dwellers. The
study found that the end does not justify the means, that is, the amount
borrowed (externally) did not reflect the work done, largely due to neglect
on the part of government as a result of lack of proper planning and
supervision, as one of the attributes of most World Bank projects in the
developing countries.
However, with little attention, honest agreement and dedication, the World
Bank loans or any other external loans can be made to be useful and viable.
