Lessons and the future. 330 $aThis book explores how social groups in the urban fringe of Abuja, Nigeria, engaged with a series of development projects spanning 15 years (2003 to 2018) which focused on the enhancement of food security for farming households. The groups were at the heart of these development projects and the book presents the many insights that were gained by farmers and project agents working within these partnerships and provides advice for those seeking to do the same. The book also explores how the social groups attempted to lever benefits from being near to the fastest growing city in Africa and a centre of economic and political power. While much has been written about social groups and their embeddedness within wider social networks in Africa and in other parts of the world, the exploration of the role of social groups within development projects is an area that remains relatively unchartered and this book seeks to fill that important gap in knowledge. It provides an important contribution for all those researching and working with social groups in the developing world. 410 0$aUrban Perspectives from the Global South,$x2511-2171 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aRegional planning 606 $aUrban planning 606 $aHuman Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X26000 606 $aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aRegional planning. 615 0$aUrban planning. 615 14$aHuman Geography. 615 24$aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning. 676 $a307.1216 700 $aMorse$b Stephen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0106344 702 $aMacNamara$b The Reverend Sister Nora$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910392734203321 996 $aSocial Networks and Food Security in the Urban Fringe$92538369 997 $aUNINA
