Dear Tinsley, 

Your analyses are very real. I have taken unsolicited evaluative research on cooperative based agro and allied entrepreneurship in south south region of Nigeria. Particularly the National FADAMA world bank assisted project. It was massive failure. On monitoring and evaluation components which would have aided project effectiveness, there was gross deficiency in theory of change based evaluation planning and management. Sociologically, cooperative based entrepreneurship is alien to West Africa and southern Nigeria in particular.
