Summary
Sustainable Agricultural Production Programme – Phase 2 (SAPP II) aims to contribute towards wealth creation, and improve food and nutrition security among the rural population of Malawi. The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to: “Commercialise agriculture production and enhance the resilience and productivity of smallholder farming systems of rural men, women and youth in selected districts of Malawi by 2030”
Components and Objectives
SAPP II has three main components:
Component 1: Increased smallholder productivity and climate resilience. It aims to not only enhance household food and nutrition security but also enable rural smallholders to produce surplus that meets the market quality and quantity requirements.
Component 2: Commercialisation of smallholder farming systems promoted. It focuses on the development of commercialized farming systems that are integrated to value chains.
Component 3: Strengthened institutional capacity and knowledge management systems. It aims to support capacity building activities to facilitate effective implementation, including complimenting the PMU(Programme management unit) with additional staff where needed, and, providing relevant project specific training to fill up any skills gaps.
