About the Project

This project will invest $16 million to structure food demand to assure institutional markets and improve smallholder productivity, thereby increasing food and nutrition security and household incomes, particularly for vulnerable households. The project will do this by increasing agriculture production and productivity, post-harvest management and commercialization, and resilience for identified food chains; linking smallholders to assured institutional markets for example home-grown school feeding; boosting private sector participation; and promoting social protection and food safety net programs.
