Project Description

The project will promote PPPs and private sector investments in activities related to agri-tourism. Innovative financing modalities will be explored. The project promotes activities under Pillars 2 and 3 of CASP II. It will invest in green and pro-poor agricultural production systems to mitigate increased risks of rapid weather-pattern shifts and disruptions to water availability. Key investments will include (i) the building of infrastructure related to food production systems for corridor towns; (ii) promotion of water, soil, and nutrient management, including conservation farming, payment for environmental services, and carbon financing; and (iii) capacity development for scaling-up climate-resilient food production. The project will promote PPPs and private sector investments in green technologies and practices for a resilient food production system, focusing on improving productivity and nutritional quality.
