Livelihood capital assets

Household heads’ assessment of changes in their households, productive assets, and human-capital investments following the introduction of improved cowpea revealed that farmers who had been cultivating it had acquired a range of assets and had been able to make investments in education and health care. The incomes obtained from the sale of improved cowpea enabled about 24 per cent of the adopting households in Kano to make human-capital investments in the form of health care, and about 16 per cent were enabled to invest in the education of their children. Furthermore, about 33 per cent of adopters acquired goats, 30 per cent bought sheep, 17 per cent bought bicycles and radios, and about 36 per cent bought clothes. In Kaduna, 20 per cent of adopters constructed metal-roofed houses, 19 per cent bought bicycles, and 55 per cent bought clothes. Adopters in Kaduna also acquired productive assets out of IDCP incomes: about 20 per cent bought goats, 19 per cent bought cows, and 16 per cent bought land.
