The objective of the Bolivia Land for Agricultural Development Project is to establish a decentralized beneficiary-driven land access mechanism that allows organized landless or poor farmers to acquire suitable agricultural lands and implement investment subprojects which enable beneficiaries to enter into a sustainable, higher-income, livelihood path, in so doing generating knowledge about land access and land-related productive investments which contributes to addressing the issues nationally. The project has three components with the first component consisting of the financing of land purchases and potentially long-term leases in the future through a line of credit managed by the Productive Development Bank and executed by local financial institutions. Productive Associations of project beneficiaries will be responsible for repayment of the land acquisition loans and the acquired lands will serve as collateral. The second component is for the provision of matching grants for infrastructure and productive investments on the acquired lands. Finally, the third component covers project management, technical assistance, and monitoring and evaluation.
