Project Purpose/Outcomes : |
To increase access to improved seeds among 300,000 smallholder farmers in targeted food-insecure Communal Lands of Zimbabwe.
The grant is being undertaken under the Global Food Crisis Response Program, and is financed by the Food Price Crisis Response Core Multi-Donor Trust Fund. The operation is financing the distribution of improved maize seeds to 300,000 households in 10 kg packs to strengthen their capacity to produce more grain necessary to meet consumption requirements. The project will contribute to reduce the country’s dependence on expensive grain imports and food aid. The project's two components are: (i) the provision of improved maize seeds; and (ii) project coordination, monitoring and evaluation. |
