The Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) was introduced in Nigeria in 1986.

To achieve this objective, measures to stimulate domestic production and broaden the supply base of the economy were adopted. During the implementation of SAP, it was realized that the programme inflicted varying degrees of hardship on different groups of the population. Consequently, ameliorative measures were designed to lessen the burden on vulnerable groups. Women constitute an important vulnerable group that requires relief during an adjustment process. The Better Life Programme was designed to give relief to women, especially those in the rural areas, during the economic restructuring process in Nigeria.
