Short Description:
The project development objective (PDO) of the MFSRP is to increase the resilience of food systems and the country’s preparedness for food insecurity in project areas. The MFSRP builds upon many years of successful experience implementing the AGCOM, the GoM’s flagship agri-food commercialization project. While the MFSRP will introduce new elements, it will also seek to scale up many of the successful interventions and approaches of AGCOM. The MFSRP will continue to increase the commercialization of primary and value-added agricultural products as a means of enhancing national and regional food systems resilience. The MFSRP will also build food systems resilience by helping to develop climate-smart farming and irrigation systems, including through investments in research, extension, and infrastructure, and by building the capacity of pivotal public institutions to undertake resilience-enhancing policy reforms. The project is organized around six components. Approximately 80 percent of the MFSRP resources will cover activities under Components 2 and 3.
