As stated by the AfDB, the main objective of the AGRIZIDERP in the Limpopo Corridor is to promote a competitive and inclusive agribusiness in Gaza and Inhambane provinces through increasing agricultural production and productivity, by providing rural infrastructure support to production (irrigation, feeder roads, storage facilities, use of improved agricultural inputs, certified seeds and fertilizers), agro-processing, access to market and promotion of the value chain development.
The overall objective of preparation is to develop an organizational structure and a productive restructuring that allows territorial governance of the AGRIZIDERP with a view to promote production and economic development.
The proposed AGRIZIDERP preparation study will address various aspects of the value chain starting from production to consumption including technical, institutional, social, economic, and environmental aspects. It is expected that after the conclusion of the feasibility study, the Bank in coordination with Government of Mozambique (GoM), Development Partners and Private Sector will finance the program under Feed Africa Initiative.
The PPF advance requested will be used to finance the feasibility study of a The Agro-processing Zone and Resilience Program of Limpopo Special Economic Zone (AGRIZIDERP), as described in this proposal The concerned program aims to catalyze a process that results in a market system that is competitive, inclusive, and resilient. To ensure good program quality at entry, implementation, monitoring of system changes and at impact evaluation and to also fast track the preparation of this important program, comprehensive feasibility studies including marketing analysis, detailed engineering designs with Bill of Quantities (BoQ) and detailed designs need to be completed before program preparation and appraisal stages.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF AfDB
The Independent Review Mechanism (IRM), which is administered by the Compliance Review and Mediation Unit (CRMU), is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an African Development Bank (AfDB)-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the IRM, it may assist you by either seeking to address your problems by facilitating a dispute resolution dialogue between you and those implementing the project and/or investigating whether the AfDB complied with its policies to prevent environmental and social harms. You can submit a complaint electronically by emailing crmuinfo@afdb.org, b.kargougou@afdb.org, b.fall@afdb.org, and/or s.toure@afdb.org.
