Description:

The CFAVC supports implementing the government’s Agriculture Development Strategy (ADS), 2018-2023 and the National Export Strategy, 2015-2019 by boosting competitiveness in value chains for rice, beans, pulses, and oilseeds in the Magway, Mandalay, and Sagaing regions. The project will increase climate resilience for critical rural infrastructure, strengthen technical and institutional capacity for climate smart agriculture (CSA), and create an enabling policy environment. The project will reduce food insecurity and rural poverty, increase smallholders’ incomes and access to markets, and improve resource efficiency and environmental sustainability for agribusinesses.

The Project Implementation Consultants (PIC) will provide management and technical assistance to the EA and IA in the implementation of the project, strengthen technical and management capacities of the participating government agencies and project stakeholders, and ensure compliance with the financing agreement and government policies.
