(March 2021 - December 2022)

ESPECRP project was designed, scaling up YECRP achievements and aiming to improve the productivity and enhance the resilience in promising value chains, creating work opportunities, improving livelihoods, food security, and improve household nutrition through meeting the immediate needs of households and communities in the short and immediate term while linking longer term resilience building efforts for these value chains.  The project will support markets through establishing producer groups to aggregate demand and better access market linkage both in-country and regionally. These interventions will also deliver benefits to the wider community restoring livelihoods through increasing value chain production, productivity, incomes, quality of products and services. It will help households increase their incomes hence improving access to services specifically health care and bring communities together by bridging the emergency-development gap. Furthermore, SMEs will be exposed to great market linkage both in-country and regionally as the channels of coordination through the YPSC come to effect.  Associations as well supply chain organizations will be more active to support in developing resilient value chains through efficient, quality enhanced produce and chances of opening exporting routes to neighboring countries.
