8th Call for Proposals for Producer Organizations
ÂÒÂ׺£½Ç recognizes Producer Organizations (POs) as critical actors in linking smallholder farmers to input, capital, and product markets. By enhancing the capacity and reach of POs, ÂÒÂ׺£½Ç aims to increase agricultural productivity and incomes, particularly for smallholders, while improving food availability and access for consumers.
The Eighth Call for Proposals continues ÂÒÂ׺£½Ç’s targeted support to PO-led initiatives. Building on three previous calls, ÂÒÂ׺£½Ç has already allocated US$80 million across 32 PO-led projects, helping POs improve their internal systems and service delivery to better meet the needs of their members. These investments aim to increase smallholder farmers’ income, food and nutrition security, and resilience to shocks, including those driven by climate change, economic volatility, and fragility.
