The project has four components. 1. Strengthening the role of MARNDR in providing agricultural support services. This component will enhance MARNDR's capacity to define and implement the National Agriculture Extension Strategy (PDVA) through carrying out of institutional and organizational reforms within MARNDR at the national, departmental and local level. 2. Providing support for local agricultural extension and innovation services. This component will strengthen the local provision of, and access to, agricultural support and extension services through the establishment of a Market Support Facility (MSF) and the strengthening of the MSF's institutional capacity. 3. Agriculture risk and emergency response contingent reserve. This component will provide support upon occurrence of an Agriculture Sector Emergency through: (i) the carrying out of Emergency Recovery and Rehabilitation Subprojects and/or (ii) the implementation of a Farmers Subsidy Scheme for Eligible Farmers. 4.
