The present intervention relates to the Support Project for the Transformation of Guinean Agriculture and Youth Agricultural Entrepreneurship (PATAG-EAJ). It aims to ensure the development of climate-smart agricultural value chains and the promotion of youth entrepreneurship through the sustainable revival of rice production and market gardening value chains in the Boké and Boffa Prefectures. This project is an essential response for supporting production and processing activities, and contributing to the improvement of the people's living conditions by promoting value chains and creating entrepreneurship opportunities for young people and women. It will: (i) help to boost production and productivity, and improve access to production and processing factors and markets; (ii) contribute to the development of climate-smart agricultural value chains that can employ a high number of young people and women; (iii) help to improve access to basic socioeconomic services for economic development; and (iv) build the capacity of the stakeholders involved in implementing PNIASAN/PASANDAD to achieve the objectives of PNDES in general, and of the PNDA in particular, and for better sector governance. The project has three main components, namely: (1) modernization and development of agricultural infrastructure; (2) development of youth value chains and agricultural entrepreneurship; and (3) project management.
