closed

The objective of the Agricultural Competitiveness Project for Cameroon is to increase the competitiveness of eligible producer organizations working on target value chains. There are four components to the project, the first component being rehabilitating key rural infrastructure. The component will finance the rehabilitation of key rural infrastructure. The component will include two sub-components, the first for the rehabilitation of rural roads, and the second for the rehabilitation of irrigated perimeters. The second component is the economic partnerships. This component will support Producer Organizations (POs) working on target value chains and areas in establishing and implementing investment sub-projects linked to Economic Partnerships (EPs). The component will finance economic projects intended to address production, marketing and/or processing bottlenecks in the target value chains. The third component is the institutional support and capacity development. This component will develop the capacity of actors at different levels and will include three sub-components, targeting: (i) apex producer organizations, (ii) core functions of sectoral public services, and (iii) legal and regulatory framework. Finally, the fourth component is the project coordination, monitoring, and evaluation. This component will support the establishment, equipment and operations of the project coordination team, at both national and regional levels, responsible for project implementation, procurement, financial management, and overall monitoring and evaluation.
