Markets for Meghri-Incept Phase (1.12.09-31.09.10) (Armenia, Rural Development in the region of Meghri)

Key message: Entitled “Markets for Meghri”, the project will support the development of horticulture value chains and enhance transformation and marketing of the products applying the “Making Markets Work For the Poor” (M4P) approach.

Description

The project goal is to get a dynamic horticulture agribusiness sector that generates sustainable and broad-based employment and income for producers. Activities comprise interventions in production (information, technical know how, input supplies, irrigation), in marketing and sales (identification of market opportunities, strengthening value chains, organizing producers) and in processing.

A first inception phase has just started for setting up the project structure, developing a joint vision among the key stakeholders, and planning the implementation phase, which will take place from October 2010 to end of October 2012.
