The Role of Community-Based Organizations in Rural Development in Nigeria

Studies have shown that community based organizations (CBOs) have been part and parcel of every community in Nigeria.
          According to Anyanwu (1992) and Fakoya) et al (2000), this is based on the principle of “self-help”, “self reliance” and “citizen participation”,
which need active participation and cooperation of the people in activities that will make their communities a better place to live.
These local groups are involved in such activities as agricultural extension services, crop, livestock production, processing, marketing, commerce, arts, small scale industries, vocational, trade skills, rural transportation and other rural economic activities.

Community-based organizations particularly farmers cooperatives and professional associations are seriously concerned about the education of their members.  They therefore provide technical, managerial and leadership training to members, which facilitate effective communication of agricultural information to and among members.
