Rural
Livelihoods and Economic Enhancement Programme
Malawi is presently undergoing economic liberalization, under which the government is restructuring parastatal marketing institutions and market interventions to move into the global market economy. The main objective of the Rural Livelihoods and Economic Enhancement programme is to ensure that poor rural households engaged in agriculture, livestock and fish production have a role in the increasingly competitive, liberalized economy. Activities will focus on supporting poor rural producers so they can benefit from efficient markets and added value for their agricultural products. The programme will engage the private sector in providing small-scale
crop, livestock and fish producers and processors with the knowledge
and skills they need to participate fully in the marketplace. It
will strengthen farmers' participation in the market by improving
production, transport, storage, processing and marketing systems
for commodities such as groundnuts and Irish potatoes. The goal is
to sustainably improve the incomes of economically active poor rural
households. Source: IFAD |
