Technical Assistance to the Ministry of Environment and Agriculture
The project improved the management capacity of the agricultural sector, by providing technical assistance to the General Directorate of Agriculture, Forestry and Livestock on the programming, appraisal and implementation of EU funding, but also on specialised topics: protected crops and micro-irrigation, horticulture, plant protection, packaging, marketing of tropical fruits and vegetables.
On these specialised areas, the Ministry’s staff received training, the startup of agricultural projects was supported, the technical framework for community projects was made, investigation techniques for the production and development of fruit were improved (in conjunction with the INIDA) and the articulation with other donors involved in the sector was promoted.
