Zonal coverage
Training is organised by Nigeria's six geopolitical zones and delivered in two waves. A zone is marked "Training Available" only when training is actually running there; zones in the second wave are marked clearly so that nobody travels or plans on the strength of a false start date.

Zone composition follows the six geopolitical zones. The states in which training is active within a zone, and the collection points serving them, are confirmed by the Academy before publication.
Market clusters, collection points and zonal coordinator details are confirmed per zone before publication. Three zone contacts were requested per zone in the project questions and none have been supplied yet.
