Gambia - The Gambia Agriculture and Food Security Project

About this project

The Gambia Agriculture and Food Security Project seeks to structure food demand and supply through scaling up of government institutionalized homegrown school feeding programme while improving smallholder’s income. This will be achieved by increasing climate-resilient food production, postharvest management, market access and resilience for identified nutrient-rich food chains; and by promoting smallholder farmers’ access to the HGSF as an institutional market. The connection between the food supply side (farmers) and food demand side (consumers) in the project is the HGSF Programme. The project is a standalone investment project with technical assistance (TA) and capacity building activities. The main components of the project are: (1) developing Sustainable Food Systems for Improved Livelihood, Productivity and Climate Change, Gender Equality and Women Empowerment; (2) reducing vulnerability through social protection, improving nutrition and climate-resilient WASH; and (3) project management, monitoring and evaluation.
