* Improved research and development on crops (Cowpea and Cassava) and livestock.
* Improved biosafety implementation and field testing of genetically modified crops.
* Improved awareness and public acceptance
* The Biotechnology Information Centre (BIC) which is situated at NABDA was established under this agreement. The BIC is designed to provide a facility for accessing biotechnology information. Similar BICs are being developed in the six zonal centers. Also being handled by NABDA is the hosting of the Nigeria Agriculture and Biotechnology Project Advisory Committee (NABAC). NABAC is set up to provide necessary guidance and direction for the successful implementation of the project. These two activities are being funded by the project.
