Descripción
The Smallholder Agricultural Competitiveness Project (SACP) supports smallholders in Bangladesh to diversify from rice-based systems into demand-driven high-value crops (HVCs) with intensified homestead production. To enable this shift, the Government of Bangladesh requested technical assistance (TA) from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), financed by SACP funds. Rather than field-level implementation, the TA component strengthened institutional capacities, closing knowledge and skills gaps among SACP implementing agencies. Support included training of trainers (ToTs), background studies, monitoring and evaluation (M&E) and Management Information System (MIS) tools and matching grant design. This project contributed to SACP’s goal of raising farmer incomes and resilience through diversification and improved market access. It included three components: capacity development through training and coaching, an upgraded MIS and M&E framework and background studies such as irrigation analysis and revised Seed Village guidelines.
