Inclusion of Small-Scale Producers in Value Chains and Market Access Project
Inclusion of Small-Scale Producers in Value Chains and Market Access Project
This project will help small-scale producers in three of the poorest departments of Nicaragua improve their income and employment opportunities. It will focus on landless rural people and small-scale coffee, dairy and grain producers affected by droughts, floods and other natural disasters.
Specifically, the project will help small-scale producers:
- identify leading participants in selected value chains and develop alliances with them
- improve production, processing, entrepreneurial activities and management through better access to financial and non-financial services
- develop their capacities and strengthen their social and economic organizations
- improve the rural road network
IFAD will provide additional support to this project through a US$3.9 million grant approved under the debt sustainability framework (DSF).
