Gambia - Agriculture Value Chains Development Project Gambie - Projet de développement des chaines de valeur agricoles The Agriculture Value Chains Development Project (AVCDP) is an investment project financed by an ADF loan. It provides for the improvement of livestock production and productivity in The Gambia. The AVCDP will be implemented over a period of five-years predominantly in the Upper River (URR) Regions where poverty and food and nutrition insecurity are highly endemic. It will build on gains of the Bank-funded NERICA, LHDP, P2RS and FASDEP projects to ensure synergy and complementarity. Indeed, the AVCDP will consolidate gains of these projects and contribute to the improvement of farm incomes and weaning smallholder farmers from subsistence to commercial entrepreneurs. The project cost is estimated at UA 6.669 million. Le Projet de développement des chaînes de valeur agricoles (PDCVA) est un projet d’investissement financé au moyen d’un prêt FAD. Il prévoit l’amélioration de la production et de la productivité de l’élevage en Gambie. Le PDCVA sera mis en œuvre sur cinq ans principalement dans la région de l’Upper River où la pauvreté et l’insécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle sont particulièrement répandues. Il capitalisera sur les acquis des projets NERICA, LHDP, P2RS et FASDEP financés par la Banque pour assurer la synergie et la complémentarité des projets. En effet, le PDCVA consolidera les acquis de ces projets et contribuera à l’amélioration des revenus agricoles, en aidant notamment les petits agriculteurs à passer d’activités de subsistance à l’entreprenariat commercial. Le coût du projet est estimé à 6,669 millions d’UC. The sector goal is to contribute to food and nutrition security and create shared wealth and employments. The specific objective is to increase, on a sustainable basis, the income of rural producers, entrepreneurs that are engaged in the production, processing, storage and marketing of rice and livestock. L’objectif sectoriel est de contribuer à la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle, tout en créant une richesse commune et des emplois. L’objectif spécifique consiste à élever durablement les niveaux de revenu des producteurs en milieu rural et des entrepreneurs qui interviennent dans la production, la transformation, le stockage et la commercialisation du riz et des produits de l’élevage. The total number of direct beneficiaries is estimated at 8,300 households comprising 3,320 women and 4,980 men. Additional 4,150 persons will benefit indirectly from the project. This brings the total beneficiaries to an estimated 12,450 households. Le nombre total de bénéficiaires directs est estimé à 8 300 ménages composés de 3 320 femmes et 4 980 hommes ; et de bénéficiaires indirects, 4 150 personnes – ce qui porterait à 12 450 le nombre total de bénéficiaires.
