Its specific objective is to contribute

local value addition, market access
and, accordingly, employment
opportunities for farmers living
in poverty in selected agro-based
value chains.
This will be achieved through the following expected outcomes:
- Accelerated development of selected value chains as a result of its actors (MSMEs, including cooperatives) benefitting from strengthened horizontal and vertical coordination along the value chains and market-driven improvements in production, storage, (pre-) processing and, ultimately, enhanced market access.
- Improved national enabling environment for enhancing market driven value chain development, covering a more conducive policy and regulatory framework, enhanced dialogue and demand-based multifaceted service capacities.
