Promotion of Rural Incomes through Market Enhancement Project
Promotion of Rural Incomes through Market Enhancement Project
The project is designed to be implemented in seven governorates: Qena, Sohag, Assiut, Minya and Beni Seuf in Upper Egypt, and Beheira and Kafr el Sheikh in Lower Egypt.
The target group will include:
- smallholder households
- landless labourers with rudimentary education and no access to agricultural land
- unemployed youth
- women and female-headed households
- small- and medium-scale entrepreneurs.
The project's goal is to contribute to the reduction of rural poverty in Egypt. Specifically, it will seek to increase the incomes of 50,000 rural households by integrating them into the agriculture value chain.
In line with the IFAD Strategic Framework 2011-2015 and IFAD's COSOP for Egypt, the programme will focus on project management and coordination, marketing support and rural finance.
