Fit For Market+: Mitigating the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic by strengthening the sustainability of the ACP horticultural sector

About this project

<p>The goal of this action is to empower actors along the ACP agricultural value chains specifically family farmers and micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), with an emphasis on women and youth, to participate fully in the transformation and modernisation of the agricultural sector at the national and regional level and contribute to the preparedness of the sector to the impacts of climate change. The implementation of this action under Component 3 is related to COVID-19 recovery measures through specific short and medium-term actions aimed at mitigating the impact of the pandemic on the agri-food sector in ACP countries and on the food and nutrition security of its population. The overall objective of the proposal is to contribute to poverty reduction and improved food security and nutrition, by supporting the building of a fairer, safer and sustainable agri-food sector in member countries of the OACPS. The specific objectives are: i) to support smallholders, farmer groups and MSMEs to maintain and improve access to national, regional and international horticultural markets while adapting to changes in the operating environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic; ii) to enable smallholders, farmer groups and MSMEs of the horticultural sector to seize new market opportunities through the development and adoption of safe and sustainable practices, skills and technologies.</p>
