Abstract:
This study was carried out to investigate the effect of public policy implementation of third National Fadama Development Programme on the development of Anambra State, Nigeria. The study was anchored on Contingency Theory. The Multi-stage random sampling, such as stratified, purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used in the study. Survey research method was adopted and questionnaires were administered to 396 Fadama beneficiaries and Fadama staff in the Ministry of Agricultural and Rural Development, Awka. Data obtained was analyzed using simple percentage, mean, standard deviation while ANOVA and regression analysis were used for hypotheses testing. The study found that the non-payment of counterpart funds by fadama beneficiaries and lack of skilled manpower for extension services have significant effect on the implementation of the programme. The study concludes that the beneficiaries should be serious with the payment of counterpart funds and skilled manpower for extension services should be equally made available. Based on this, the researcher recommends that the government should apply strict measures and punishment against Fadama beneficiaries who failed to pay their counterpart funds. And also, the skilled manpower for extension services should be more relevant to beneficiaries through the use of well trained and adequate staffing, and the use of participatory approach should be practiced.
