Description

This action aims to contribute to increased growth and an expanded commercial agriculture base while also tackling the long-term aspects related to improved food and nutrition security. The project will be implemented through three main components: (1) increase in agricultural productivity and diversification through mainly up scaling climate-smart agriculture technologies; (2) agriculture value chain and business development; (3) support to improved governance in the agriculture sector. The 1st component aims at a sustainable increase of productivity and diversification of smallholder farmers based on market demand while the 2nd component aims at increasing income generated by farmer enterprises, including smallholders, and at creating jobs through developing local value addition of agriculture products. The 3rd component aims at stimulating better information supply to the general public and Parliament on agricultural policy and its outcomes.
