| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The TA seeks to address institutional and capacity constraints' that would potentially impede effective implementation of existing reforms to agricultural marketing and on the establishment of modern integrated value chains (IVCs). Under these reforms, the private sector will be encouraged to invest into essential marketing infrastructure. and provide management of these facilities, within a model that seeks to develop spatially linked market channels. Through the provision of such infrastructure by the private sector for high value horticultural crops, the cost of value chain establishment and management are reduced. Awareness of the benefits of adopting a value chain approach and capaCity to develop and support the development of such value chains is weak along the value chain stakeholders' and the public sector officers which will playa facilitation, coordination and supportive role. | ||||
| Impact | Demand responsive value chains for high value crops established in some regions |
