Restoring Efficiency in Agriculture Production (REAP)

This new activity will make grants and technical assistance (TA) available to existing and newly-formed private enterprises in the agriculture sector, including input suppliers, machinery service providers, storage facilities, sorting/grading centers, and small- and medium-scale processors.

Selected businesses will be provided with TA to develop viable business plans and will receive matching grants and additional TA to implement their business plans.

This activity will also provide additional TA to farmers and non-grantee SMEs to improve technical and business skills and facilitate improved business linkages.

REAP will achieve the following objectives: sustainable increase in the availability and utilization of agricultural inputs, services, and technical information among farmers; improved business operations of beneficiaries; enhanced skills, yields, and incomes of farmers linked to assisted businesses; and increased employment opportunities in rural areas.
