Emergency Agricultural Production Support Project (AEFPF-Comoros) aims to increase local food production and build the resilience of food systems. It’s intended to support the Government’s efforts to mitigate the impact of global shocks on the national economy exacerbated by the war in Ukraine and to build resilience. It is designed as part of the African Emergency Food Production Facility (AEFPF). The value chains targeted by the project are maize, potato, sweet potato, and poultry. The project will support the different categories of actors, including seed multipliers, agro breeders involved in the four selected sectors, as well as feed and agricultural input importers. The project is structured around the following three components: (i) Intensification of agricultural and poultry production; (ii) Institution and capacity building for agricultural intensification; and (iii) Project management, monitoring, and coordination. Gender, fragility and resilience, and climate change issues are mainstreamed across all components. The project primarily contributes to climate adaptation results. As such, 50% of the total approved amount is attributed as climate finance, of which 3 million USD is dedicated to adaptation.
