• Preemptive Management of Cassava Mosaic Disease Project (CMD).
• Cassava Enterprise Development Project (CEDP).

While CMD primarily looks at mitigating the impact of cassava mosaic disease and increasing productivity in Nigeria, CEDP focuses on utilization and agribusiness development.

ICP has three main aims: to sustainably increase food availability, reduce rural poverty and unemployment, and enhance agroindustrial and socioeconomic growth in Nigeria. This will be achieved by deploying high yielding resistant cultivars, adapting improved and profitable postharvest processing methods, and facilitating policies to ensure that problems along the commodity chain are reduced. ICP aims also to increase private sector investment in production, processing, storage, and marketing. The result will be that incomes are raised, and the livelihood of millions of poor farmers and rural processors will be improved.

ICP is funded by the Federal Government of Nigeria, the Niger Delta Development Commission, Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria, United States Agency for International Development, and States in southern Nigeria.
