What People Say About us

Through our partnership with Sahel Consulting on the ALDDN program, we strengthened the Nigerian dairy sector for smallholder pastoral communities. Their approach addressed borehole infrastructure, conflict resolution, capacity building, and herd improvement. We at Sebore Farms have witnessed firsthand the empowerment of women and youth as successful dairy entrepreneurs.

Alhaji Aminu Nyako-CEO, Sebore International Farms
It was a great pleasure partnering with Sahel Consulting on the implementation of the Collaborative Seed Programme Nigeria. The team demonstrated a strong commitment to excellence, combining professionalism with a pragmatic, client-oriented approach. I look forward to collaborating again on future opportunities.

Marja Thijssen-Wageningen University & Research
It has been a wonderful experience working with Sahel Consulting under the CSP programme, and the partnership has facilitated variety release in Nigeria. Some areas where we have been having issues like harmonization of protocol for ECOWAS released varieties and guidelines for release of vegetable crops have been resolved through the effort and facilitation of Sahel Consulting.
