According to bank documents, the proposed Project Objective  is to increase productivity and climate resilience of and to promote commercialization for smallholder farmers in the selected project areas.

The project will have four components:

  1. Component 1: Capacity Building and Institutional Development (US$ 115 million, of which US$ 100 million IBRD and US$ 15 million AFD): The objective of this component is to strengthen institutions involved in the development of smallholder agriculture, including smallholder farmers’ organizations (including women’s organizations), cooperatives, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), government agencies, service providers (such as extension services), and private sector. It is expected that a total of 425,000 smallholder farmers will benefit from this component.

  2. Component 2: Agricultural Resilience, Intensification and Market Linkages (US$ 270 million, of which US$ 185 million IBRD and US$ 85 million AFD): The objective of this component is to provide investment support to eligible beneficiaries in driving their rehabilitation and/or development of new micro and/or small-scale irrigation systems, sustainable and climate resilient crop and livestock production through improved access to climate smart technologies and irrigation technologies, services, and infrastructure. This component is expected to benefit 400,000 smallholder farmers (50% women), including 225,000 beneficiaries supported under component 1 (exact number of beneficiaries to be discussed during project preparation and following the selection criteria specified in paragraph 23) as well as 175,000 direct beneficiaries who graduated from MOSAP2.

  3. Component 3: Project Management and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) (US$ 30 million, of which US$ 15 million IBRD and US$ 15 million AFD): The objectives of this component are to (i) ensure an efficient project management, which will include efficient and targeted use of project resources in accordance with the project’s objectives, procedures, and fiduciary guidelines and efficient contract management among others; and (ii) building the project M&E system capable to inform about the project progress and achievements, support management decision making and course correction with timely and quality data and reporting.

  4. 36. Component 4: Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC) (US$ 0 million): This component will provide immediate response to eligible emergencies. As such, in the event of such an eligible emergency, as defined in the Contingency Emergency Response (CER) operational manual prepared and adopted by the GoA, this component would finance emergency activities and expenditures through the reallocation of funds from the Project.
