Supporting the development of the agricultural sector in Zambia
The Agricultural Development Support Program would provide support to selected Ministry of Agricuture and Cooperatives (MACO) core functions. It would strengthen MACO services related to: data and policy analysis, monitoring and evaluation, market information and capacity in trade negotiations; seed certification and control; food safety and quality standards and phytosanitary services. Activities would include staff training (both short term and long term), study tours, participation in domestic and regional workshops, consultancy services, limited procurement of equipment (office, computing, laboratory and testing), vehicles, civil works and incremental operating costs. The project would increase the capacity of the CDT to conduct entomological research and to supply an increased amount of foundation seed for further multiplication by the cotton industry in order to improve smallholder farmers’ access to quality seed.
