La zone concernée par le Projet/région de Chiansi compte environ 21000 habitants. Le Projet vise à développer un système d’irrigation couvrant 600hade terres (étape1), qui bénéficiera directement à 600 petits exploitants satellites. Grâce à d’autres services sociaux et activités, tels que la fourniture de soins de santé, l’alimentation en eau des ménages, l’assainissement et le développement des compétences, le Projet bénéficiera directement à environ 12000 personnes (dont 30% de femmes et de jeunes). Il bénéficiera en outre indirectement à l’ensemble de la population de Chiansi (21000 habitants), avec des retombées dans d’autres régions voisines du district de Kafue, ainsi que pour environ 9000 prestataires de services dans la filière des produits de base. Le Projet i) apportera de l’aide à 100 entreprises dirigées par des jeunes et contribuera à développer l’esprit d’entreprise (50% de femmes en seront bénéficiaires) ; et ii) fera acquérir des compétences à 2000 jeunes (dont 50% de femmes) pour leur permettre de trouver un emploi.

Le présent appui porte sur un prêt FAD de 7,09 millions d’UC sur les ressources de la Banque pour financer le Projet d’appui aux petites exploitations satellites de Chiansi (COSP) en Zambie. Le Projet est né de la volonté du gouvernement d’offrir aux petits exploitants agricoles les moyens de devenir des cultivateurs sous-traitants d’un opérateur commercial privé existant. Il s’agit d’un projet d’investissement autonome visant à améliorer la productivité agricole et à accroître la valeur ajoutée des produits agricoles. Le Projet vise à transformer la production agricole en un investissement durable, commercialisable et rentable, qui contribue à la génération de revenus et à la création d’emplois. Il permettra également d’accroître la valeur ajoutée, de mieux intégrer les petits exploitants/entrepreneurs et le secteur privé, grâce à la participation de l’opérateur commercial existant. Il comprend trois (3) composantes, à savoir : a) la composante1 axée sur le développement d’infrastructures résilientes au changement climatique ; b) la composante2 axée sur l’appui institutionnel et développement des compétences ; et c) la composante 3 axée sur gestion des projets. La durée d’exécution prévue est quatre (4) ans. The proposed support is an ADF loan of UA 7.09 million from the Bank resources to finance the Chiansi Smallholder Outgrower Support Project (COSP) in Zambia. The Project was designed based on the Government’s intention to empower smallholder farmers to become outgrowers to an existing private sector commercial operator. This is a stand-alone investment Project aimed at enhancing agricultural productivity and value addition of agricultural produce. The Project aims to transform agricultural production into sustainable commercialised and profitable venture that contributes to income generation, and job creation. It will also contribute to enhanced value addition, and improved integration of smallholder farmers/entrepreneurs and private sector, through involvement of the existing commercial operator. The Project consists of three (3) components, namely: (a) Component 1 Development of Climate Resilient Infrastructure; (b) Component 2 Social Services, and Skills Development; and (c) Component 3 Project Management. The expected implementation period is four (4) years. L’objectif de développement du projet est d’augmenter les revenus agricoles et d’améliorer les moyens de subsistance des petits exploitants, en accroissant la productivité agricole et en facilitant l’accès au marché. Cela contribuera à réduire la pauvreté, à améliorer les revenus des ménages, à garantir la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition, et permettra également de renforcer la résilience à la variabilité du climat/au changement climatique. L’objectif spécifique du Projet est d’améliorer la production, la productivité, la transformation et la commercialisation de cultures à forte valeur ajoutée. The Project development objective is to increase agricultural income and improve livelihoods of the smallholder farmers by increasing agricultural productivity, and market access. This will contribute to poverty reduction, improved household incomes, food security and nutrition, and also build resilience to climate variability/change. The specific Project objective is to enhance production, productivity, processing and marketing of high value crops.
