The development objective of the Emergency Food Crisis Response and Agriculture Re-launch Project for Africa is to protect and rebuild livelihoods, human capital, particularly of children, and to re-launch the productivity of the agriculture sector. The project has two components. The first component, human capital protection and livelihood assistance is designed to protect the human capital of children, including those in the first 1,000 days, and to prevent negative coping strategies by poor households - selling assets, incurring debt, and sacrificing food consumption - which will compromise human capital and livelihood recovery in the longer run. The second component, re-launch the productivity of the agriculture sector will aim at restoring food production capacity for the most affected people in the food insecure areas. It will also provide training to the beneficiary farmers and to 50 field personnel of the ministry of rural development, as well as 150 young graduates who will participate in the implementation of the project.
