Objectives of the project:
To increase farmer incomes and livelihood resilience through demand-led productivity growth, Diversification and marketing in a changing climatic condition.

Specific Objectives of the Project:
Component-1: Enhanced production of HVC and technology adoption 1.1: Assessment of HVCs and group mobilization 1.2: Demand-driven production and market-led research 1.3: Institutional support for research and extension
Component-2: Processing and marketing of HVC 2.1: Improving market linkage 2.2: Increasing Post-harvest and processing investments 2.3: Development of food safety and nutrition measures along the value chain
Component-3: Climate Resilient Surface Water Management 3.1: Sustainable surface water management, drainage, conservation and utilization 3.2: Institutional support for Capacity Building

 FOCUS-Nagaland covers 647 villages in 58 blocks of 8 districts in the state.   The districts covered under the project are Kohima, Phek, Zunheboto, Wokha, Mokokchung, Kiphere, Lungleng and Mon. The project is expected to be completed by 2024.

The Project components emphasis to increase the agricultural income of those targeted households in the project districts and to enhance their resilience to climate change. 

 

 1)It aims to improve family incomes and the quality of life in rural Meghalaya.

2)The project is designed around developing expanded and sustainable livelihood opportunities adapted to the hill environment and to the effects of climate change.

 

The project will predominately focus on the fresh produce sub-sector, which involves approximately 94% of village farmers across PNG. In addition, the project provide limited investment to pilot activities focused on stimulating the development of the galip nut value chain as this has potential to be become a new export cash crop for village farmers in PNG. 

 

The project will target six provinces of PNG. Activities related to the fresh produce sub-sector will be implemented in four provinces in the Highlands Region (Western Highlands, Jiwaka, Simbu and Eastern Highlands) and one province in the Momase Region, Morobe. Galip nut related activities will be implemented in East New Britain Province. MVF targets around 25,000 farming households, benefiting approximately 125,000 people. 

 

The MVF will support the development of sustainable business partnerships, where farmers will have secure and remunerative market options incentivizing them to invest in increasing the production of better quality fresh produce, whereas buyers will obtain reliable and consistent supply of vegetables in line with the demand of more remunerative market segments. The design builds on the experience gained in the IFAD-World Bank-European Union Productive Partnerships in Agriculture Project (PPAP), which has developed successful models for supporting partnerships between buyers and small growers of coffee and cocoa. The project also aligns to IFAD’s 4Ps model and is for 6 years.

The programme is targeting 180,000 poor female and male smallholder livestock households (cattle, goats, pigs and poultry) in the programme areas including members of producer organizations. 

The Programme is specifically targeting poor women- and youth-headed households through targeted beneficiary quotas, gender sensitized programmes and service delivery and the application of “household methodologies” to enable more effective reach among poor households and to improve intra-household gender relations.
