Le programme est structuré en une composante transversale «pilotage et dialogue» ainsi qu'en 3 autres composantes spécifiques à un pôle géographique du Tchad.
Kenya’s agricultural sector has considerable potential for development. The adoption of sustainable land use methods and the implementation of urgently required investments can bring about a substantial increase in agricultural productivity. With irrigation and with complementary investments in transport and marketing, significant reserves can be mobilised in areas with high potential. Much of the pasture land in the arid and semi-arid areas has yet to be fully utilised, and much more agricultural land can be brought under irrigation.
Project Measures
The agent network management firm will initially work with the Client for a six-month period in the following areas:
KfW is intending to set up an Agricultural Financing Project in Kenya to improve the access to adequate and sustainable agricultural financial services for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Kenya along the agricultural value chain. The Project is intended to contribute to the growth of investments by SMEs active in agricultural value chains. The Financial Contribution amount is foreseen to comprise separate funds for on-lending of the Project Executing Agency (PEA) to selected Partner Financial Institutions (PFIs).
The programme aims at enabling producers, processors, traders and exporters to increase production, processing, trading and exporting volumes and adjusting the quality of primary and processed produce to suit national and/or international market requirements. It furthermore advises the Ministry of Agriculture on the implementation of decentralised organisational reforms, improvement of service delivery, and private sector support. The following value chains are promoted: pineapple, citrus, mango and vegetables.
Die Agrarwirtschaft Togos ist wenig entwickelt. Die Produktivität landwirtschaftlicher Betriebe ist gering, die Marktanbindung unzureichend und die ländliche Bevölkerung verharrt in traditionellen Verhaltensmustern. Neben den Primärproduzenten gibt es im ländlichen Raum nur wenige kleinere handwerkliche Betriebe der Agrarverarbeitung. In der Primärproduktion handelt es sich um Kleinbetriebe und Produktionsgruppen. Frauen werden in ihrer produktiven Rolle besonders benachteiligt. Hinzu kommt die Landflucht, vor allem der männlichen Jugend.
