LR Smallholder Tree Crop Revitalization Support Project

closed

The objective of the Smallholder Tree Crop Revitalization Support Project is to increase access to finance, inputs, technologies and markets for smallholder tree crop farmers in Liberia, and to develop a long term development program for the tree crops sector. There are three components to the project, the first component being smallholder tree crops revitalization. This component aims at revitalizing the production and marketing of major tree crops (cocoa, coffee, oil palm and rubber) in selected counties. The strategy will consist of assisting smallholders to rapidly resume production through the rehabilitation of existing farms, replanting and planting, capacity building of smallholders and their organizations, and value chain enhancement. The second component is the institution building and preparation of future large scale tree crop development program. The component comprises three subcomponents: institution building, preparing a future large scale smallholder tree crop development program, and project preparation advance. Finally, the third component is the project coordination and management. The component aims at ensuring an effective coordination, management and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of the project.
