The additional financial resources will be used to provide certified seeds of climate-adapted varieties, fertilizers, and quality extension services under Component 1 (Enhanced Agricultural Productivity and Resilience) of the project by facilitating modern inputs to farmers and farmer groups and Component 3 (Institutional Strengthening and Program Management) support policy reforms including strengthening national institutions with laboratory equipment overseeing input markets and agro-dealers associations and support policy and regulations design.
