Modernizing research, securing seed supplies, and bringing mechanization closer to farms to produce better despite the climate.
This component, with a budget of USD 27.1 million financed by IDA, aims primarily to strengthen the productivity and resilience of food production in the face of shocks and stress factors.
It focuses on improving research and innovation, as well as strengthening service delivery, information and technology systems.
Developing and supplying improved crop varieties: high-yielding, climate-resilient and nutrient-rich.
National seed roadmap, strengthened regulators for quality assurance, and support for national research centers (FOFIFA, FIFAMANOR).
Rehabilitation of public and community seed multiplication, processing and storage centers.
Collaboration with One CGIAR to promote nutrient-rich varieties (e.g. orange-fleshed sweet potato).
Facilitating smallholder access to mechanization to increase input-use efficiency and reduce the physical burden of farm work.
Equipment for land preparation, direct seeding, harvesting and post-harvest management to maintain healthy soils.
Matching grants for equipment suppliers to expand their offering and after-sales services.
Digital platform connecting producers to mechanization services, and strengthening of the CFFAMMA center.
Supporting the development of digital data systems to help stakeholders manage climate and market risks.
Real-time collection and sharing of data on weather, prices, animal and plant health, and food stocks.
Strengthening agro-meteorological and hydro-meteorological services to provide impact-based forecasts and advice.
Digital tools deployed to reduce post-harvest losses and limit physical interactions with extension agents.
of food production against shocks and stress factors
Strengthening productivity by investing in research, innovation, and better service, information and technology systems.
