Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

As stated by the World Bank, the objective of the Agriculture Sector Recovery in Türkiye’s Earthquake-affected Provinces Project is to support the resilient recovery of the agriculture sector in Türkiye’s earthquake-affected provinces and target adjacent areas.

The project has three components, the first being enabling service provision for a climate-resilient agricultural sector. This component includes two subcomponents: investing in irrigation for enhanced water efficiency and climate resilience and promoting common machinery utilization models for improved access to mechanization.
The second component is supporting the climate-smart recovery of the livestock sector. These component activities aim to support the recovery and modernization of the livestock sector in earthquake-affected provinces by adhering to building-back-better principles, under climate-smart livestock approaches and disaster risk principles. This component includes two subcomponents: recovering the productive capacity of livestock farmers and businesses and restoring pastureland for enhanced livelihoods and resilient animal production systems.
Finally, the third component is project management, monitoring and evaluation. Activities within this component will include: (i) project management support for the Project Coordinating Unit (PCU) and implementing General Directorates, including capacity strengthening in technical, fiduciary, environmental and social (E&S) aspects; (ii) ensuring compliance with E&S risk management, including grievance redress, gender considerations, and citizen engagement (CE); (iii) preparing and implementing a project communication and visibility plan; (iv) monitoring and evaluation (M&E); and (v) operational expenses. 

Early Warning System Project Analysis
