Central African Republic - Emergency Food Production Project (PURPA)

About this project

The UA 4 million Emergency Food Production Project (PURPA) in Central African Republic (CAR) is part of the Bank’s African Emergency Food Production Facility (AEFPF) in response to the food crisis and disruption of agricultural inputs resulting from the war in Ukraine. This war compounds the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic and the political and security situation. The project is in response to the Government's request to address the pressing needs of many vulnerable households in rural areas. It will provide them with seeds and fertilisers to boost production and improve their food security. The project will run for two years (from September 2022 to August 2024). It intends to build the capacity of the institutions of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADR) in charge of the seed sector in CAR (Central African Institute for Agricultural Research (ICRA), Central African Agricultural Development Agency (ACDA) and National Seeds Authority (ONASEM)). The project primely contributes towards climate Adaptation result. As such 70% of the total approval is attributed as climate finance, out of which 4 million USD is adaptation finance.
