The project aims to ensure the improvement of productivity, production and market access for 50,000 eligible beneficiaries - in the provinces of Huambo, Malange and Bié - which are members of farmer associations.
It is expected in this sense that this project will result in:

Among the main activities foreseen are, among others:
- The technical assistance for small farmers and farmers' associations in the identification and preparation of sub projects, including support for tendering procedures;
- Infrastructure management (irrigation and post-harvest / value chain);
- Technical assistance to the implementation of approved sub projects and production activities of small farmers' associations;
- The sharing of knowledge and training with stakeholders in the sector.
