This will be achieved through the expansion of production units (i.e. agro entrepreneurial associations) and the creation and consolidation of rural businesses and microenterprises.

Community organizational and management capacity for productive and social development will increase, thereby promoting entrepreneurship among rural women and young people.The proposed investments also seek to enhance rural development coordination and the harmonization of poverty reduction and food security strategies. This will be achieved through: (i) strengthening institutional and operational capacity for rural development, starting with the Ministry of Agriculture's General Directorate for Rural Development; (ii) supporting participative municipal territorial planning; and (iii) consolidating strategic alliances with partner development agencies and key entities in the private sector.
