dc.description.abstractThis study was carried out to analyse the activities of Local Empowerment and Environmental Management Project (LEEMP) on Beneficiaries in Edati and Katcha Local Government Areas of Niger State, Nigeria. Socio-Economic Characteristics of the Respondents were described. Availability of infrastructures were also identified in the study area. The Agricultural output and standard of the living of the respondents were also determined. Four communities namely Rokota, Sakpe, Ebba and Kparaka were the benefiting communities and Edati, Emindayisah, Kaji and Gboyako were the non-benefiting communities. In all, eight communities were selected for the study. From each Local Government, two villages which are beneficiaries of LEEMP activities and two other villages, non-beneficiaries were selected for comparison. Ten percent of the total population from each community was taking as sample size. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage and mean) and multiple linear regression were used for data analysis. The findings revealed that the beneficiaries of LEEMP activities had more number of the infrastructure in their communities than the non-beneficiaries. The result also revealed that organized market, irrigation facilities and borehole have positive impact on farmers output while education has negative impact. Furthermore, the material possession and expenditure of the beneficiaries of LEEMP activities were found to be more than that of nonbeneficiaries. It was concluded that rural infrastructure should be given a priority by the government and non-governmental agencies so that rural dwellers can contribute their quota to the economic development of the country.en_US
