Gambia - Agriculture Value Chains Development Project

The Agriculture Value Chains Development Project (AVCDP) is an investment project financed by an ADF loan. It provides for the improvement of livestock production and productivity in The Gambia. The AVCDP will be implemented over a period of five-years predominantly in the Upper River (URR) Regions where poverty and food and nutrition insecurity are highly endemic. It will build on gains of the Bank-funded NERICA, LHDP, P2RS and FASDEP projects to ensure synergy and complementarity. Indeed, the AVCDP will consolidate gains of these projects and contribute to the improvement of farm incomes and weaning smallholder farmers from subsistence to commercial entrepreneurs. The project cost is estimated at UA 6.669 million.
