Burundi - Emergency Agricultural Production Project

The Emergency Agricultural Production Project in Burundi (AEFPF-Burundi) is designed to strengthen the food security of the Burundi population in the face of the global crisis that has been aggravated by the Russia/Ukraine conflict. The emergency operation will focus on building the capacity of women's cooperatives and groups (60%), by facilitating their access to production resources (rice and maize seeds, fertilizers) but also to training cooperative committees (at least >60% women) in financial/digital inclusion. The project is structured around the following three components: (i) Intensification of agricultural production, (iii) Support to gender-sensitive policies targeting the accessibility of agricultural inputs, and (iii) Project coordination and management. Gender and climate change are mainstreamed in all components.
