Zambia - Chiansi Smallholder Outgrower Support Project (COSP)

About this project

The proposed support is an ADF loan of UA 7.09 million from the Bank resources to finance the Chiansi Smallholder Outgrower Support Project (COSP) in Zambia. The Project was designed based on the Government’s intention to empower smallholder farmers to become outgrowers to an existing private sector commercial operator. This is a stand-alone investment Project aimed at enhancing agricultural productivity and value addition of agricultural produce. The Project aims to transform agricultural production into sustainable commercialised and profitable venture that contributes to income generation, and job creation. It will also contribute to enhanced value addition, and improved integration of smallholder farmers/entrepreneurs and private sector, through involvement of the existing commercial operator. The Project consists of three (3) components, namely: (a) Component 1 Development of Climate Resilient Infrastructure; (b) Component 2 Social Services, and Skills Development; and (c) Component 3 Project Management. The expected implementation period is four (4) years.
