Emergency Agriculture and Food Supply Project

About this project

The proposed operation will be designed as an Investment Project Financing (IPF), funded by an IDA grant in the amount of US$55 million and a US$45 million grant from the ARTF over a two-year period. The Project responds to the food security and reduced income challenges posed by the COVID-19 crisis by: (i) increasing local food production with an initial emphasis on wheat, key staple crop for the country; and (ii) creating COVID-era short-term employment to rehabilitate productive irrigation infrastructure and support sustainable watershed development for longer term water availability for food production and resilience. It also mitigates the economic impact of the crisis by supporting micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in critical domestic food supply chains, including—but not restricted to—wheat and flour.
