dc.descriptionA 2023–2025 regional initiative strengthened the bean seed system across the Democratic Republic of Congo, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, and Zambia to improve smallholder access to quality seed and markets. By integrating Early Generation Seed production, farmer training, demonstration trials, and private-sector partnerships, the project strengthened formal–informal seed system linkages, increased adoption of improved bean varieties, and enhanced productivity, market participation, and resilience among 40,440 farmers.
