Côte d'Ivoire - Belier Region Agro-Industrial Pole Project

The Belier Region Agro-Industrial Pole Project (2PAI Belier) is part of the dialogue with the Government of Côte d’Ivoire to transform the agricultural sector, using an innovative approach. It aims to set up the base of an agro-industrial pole to transform and modernize agriculture in the Bélier region, through the restoration and development of productive capital, the modernization of the means of work, soil and communication (ICT), and the promotion of the private sector and industrialization. The cost of the project is estimated at UA 97 million. It comprises three components, namely: (i) restoration of productive capital; (ii) development of value chains; and (iii) project management. The first component aims to endow the region with key infrastructure for the development of agricultural and agro-industrial activities. The second component aims to support all actors for them to operate dynamically around value chains in a more integrative and inclusive environment. The last component will ensure that the project is managed according to schedule and through sound implementation and monitoring arrangements.
