The development objective of the National Horticulture and Livestock Project for Afghanistan is to promote adoption of improved production practices by target farmers, with gradual rollout of farmer-centric agricultural services systems and investment support. The grant will help finance the costs associated with expanded efforts to restore the agricultural sector's productive capacity from the negative effects of more than 20 years of conflicts. The project will support three components to promote increased adoption of improved technologies: (1) horticultural production, (2) animal production and health, and (3) implementation management and technical assistance support. Delivery of the second tranche will be based on project performance related to actual rollout of the regional structure to support service delivery, expected to be completed by the third year of implementation, and full use of the funds earmarked for direct investment for the same period.
