Rural Investment & Services Project (APL #1)

closed

The objective of the Rural Support Services Development Program Project is to provide long-term support to accelerate agricultural recovery and growth so that Moldova's agricultural sector can play its full role in providing the underpinnings for future income growth and poverty reduction. There are three main project components plus support for project management. The first component provides the most essential information to emerging private farmers. The second component creates legally registered rural businesses with business plans. The third component provides finance to bankable rural clients. The first two components provide predominantly technical assistance, while the third component provides private investment support along with the necessary technical assistance to participating financial institutions. The first three components are closely linked, with each dependent on the others for successful outcomes.
