Nigeria is home to four large ethnic groups: Fulani, Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba and there are as many as 350 languages spoken across the country. Officially called the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the country has a federal system of administration with a Federal Capital Territory (FCT), 36 States and 774 Local Government Areas. The capital city is Abuja.  Poverty still remains one of the most critical challenges facing the country and population growth rates have meant a steady increase in the number of poor. Life expectancy remains low and is estimated to have decreased from 47 years in 1990 to 44 years in 2005.

Child’s Right to Education, Inclusion & Poverty Alleviation (CREIPA) is an initiative to secure the inclusion of every child's rights to Education and poverty alleviation in the northern Nigeria for indigenous, tribal people, ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities.

The baseline program is aimed at understanding small-scale farmers’ and petty trader’s livelihoods in marginalised communities and how it effects children in northern Nigeria in order to plan CREIPA interventions program. The analysis of the livelihood status will serve also as a benchmark indicator to assess changes brought about by the Integrated CREIPA Project in the future.

 Achieving sustainable impact consists of two (2) phases:

1. The planning phase

2. The impact study phase

The planning phase will include mapping following the state of the immediate areas of needs the planning phase which will be followed by the Impact study phase. During the Inception phase, a baseline study will be conducted in affected areas.

The following are the processes of intervention to be undertaken during CREIPA project.

Interventions will be measuring the key economic and social indicators before implementing the major components of the project. Specifically, the study will be aimed at:

• Understanding poverty rate in the communities
