Agribusiness Program
This holistic program focuses on participatory development of
technological packages with measures to facilitate institutional change
and, in particular, improve the linkages between smallholders and input
markets (including water and credit) and output markets. This program
has demonstrated the importance of a comprehensive input marketing
approach (seeds + fertilizer + crop protection products + management)
even in post-conflict countries. In brief, this comprehensive program is
very cost-effective in quickly moving affected families from an
emergency situation to self-sufficiency and eventually on to surplus
household status.
