Chapter 1. Introduction: The leveraging by and of social groups -- Chapter 2. Social groups, networks, leadership and trust -- Chapter 3. Exploring social groups -- Chapter 4. Abuja: A new city of opportunity -- Chapter 5. The social group landscape -- Chapter 6. Social groups as catalysts -- Chapter 7. Lessons and the future.

This 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.
