This study on impact of Promoting Sustainable Agriculture Project (PROSAB) in southern Borno State: A quantitative and
Qualitative Analysis is to examine the impact created by the project using a quantitative and qualitative analysis. Data for the
study were collected in three of the four LGAs using a multistage sampling technique. Primary data used for the study was
generated from farmers through the use of a structured questionnaire which was administered by trained enumerators under
the supervision of the researcher. Analytical tools employed include the Double Difference method, the Fisher Index,
Focused Group Discussion and descriptive statistical analysis. The Double Difference Estimator (DDE) gave positive mean
incomes for maize, soybean, cowpea, sheep, goats, cars/pickups and houses renovated/built suggesting impact while it also
gave a negative mean income for cattle and land suggesting a lack of impact. The composite price index (CPI) was 124,117
and 137 for crop base enterprises, livestock based enterprises and household items respectively. The mean income of maize
was statistically significant at 5% while the mean income for soybean, cowpea and houses built/renovated were found to be
statistically significant at 1%. The qualitative analysis for example, showed that only 30% of men, 45% of women and 10%
of youth were of the view that the project made an impact on access and use of agricultural credit. Farmers’ perception
(opinion) on how the project improved their wellbeing as a result of their participation in the project, made them to rank first
their ability to pay their children school fees, their ability to buy fertilizer and agrochemicals was ranked second followed by
their ability to build a new house or had the house the household he/she was living in renovated. It is recommended that
access to and use of agricultural credit should be pursued in order to improve agricultural production in the area.
