    2016 IFDC Annual Report
    (2017-05) IFDC
    The Resilient Efficient Agribusiness Chains (REACH) Uganda project, funded by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, aims to strengthen market engagement and agriculture support services for over 40,000 farmers and agribusinesses in Uganda's rice and potato value chains. Through sustainable integration into commercial supply chains, REACH-Uganda will connect smallholder farmers with lead firms and small and medium enterprises. The project builds upon the success of previous initiatives, such as the CATALIST-Uganda project, and leverages farmer networks to establish effective business structures. By employing the Making Markets Work for the Poor (M4P) approach, REACH-Uganda seeks to create inclusive market systems that benefit resource-poor farmers. The project will provide technical assistance, capacity building, and enhanced market access to improve productivity and profitability for farmers. Additionally, REACH-Uganda aims to build resilience within the value chains, reducing risks from market and climate shocks. The project expects to link 30,000 farmers to lead firms and small- and medium-sized enterprises, fostering a mutually beneficial relationship between farmers and businesses. Furthermore, REACH-Uganda emphasizes promoting the participation of women and youth in the potato and rice value chains. With collaborative efforts from partners such as Cardno Emerging Markets, the Ugandan Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry, and Fisheries, the National Agricultural Research Organization, and the Royal Tropical Institute (KIT), REACH-Uganda seeks to achieve its outcomes, including increased market-oriented farming, improved yields, financial objectives for farmer groups, enhanced resilience, supportive regulatory environments, and increased utilization of agricultural support services. The project's investment is expected to generate a significant positive impact, with REACH farmers projected to generate six euros in income for every euro donors invest.

    Accelerating Agriculture and Agribusiness in South Sudan for Enhanced Economic Development (A3-SEED): Annexes
    (IFDC, 2023-02-28) IFDC
    The suggested modifications to the A3-SEED-approved project indicators for 2022 are outlined in this report. The suggested modifications were made to improve the indicators' measurement viability and provide the project more accurate score. The modifications involve substituting the "number of small-scale food producers that progressively realize a living income" with the "number of farmers realizing an increase in income from surplus production of targeted crops," excluding the indicator measuring agroecological resilience, rewording the indicators for seed companies, outgrower groups, and relief seed procurement, and measuring women's empowerment using decision-making, resource control, and leadership participation indicators. The suggested modifications are meant to improve the tracking of the project's effects and results.

    Feed The Future Senegal DUNDËL SUUF Project 2021 Annual Report
    (2021) IFDC
    The Government of Senegal (GoS), through the Senegalese Agriculture Cadence Acceleration Program (PRACAS), the National Agricultural Investment Program for Food Security and Nutrition (PNIASAN) and the Emerging Senegal Plan (PSE), continues to support the agricultural sector through a national program of subsidies for seeds, fertilizers and agricultural equipment with the objective of sustainably increasing production to achieve self-sufficiency in rice, maize, millet, sorghum, onion and potato, and even exporting surpluses of horticultural products. To contribute to the goals of these GoS programs, the USAID/West Africa Regional Mission (WARM) signed, on September 30, 2019, an amendment to the Enhancing Growth through Regional Agricultural Input Systems (EnGRAIS) cooperative agreement to incorporate a buy-in from USAID/Senegal to fund the Feed the Future Senegal Dundël Suuf project for a period of 3 years (October 2019 - September 2022). The aim of Dundël Suuf (DS) is to increase agricultural productivity by promoting an inclusive and sustainable reduction of hunger, poverty, and malnutrition while its strategic objective remains to increase the availability and use of new quality fertilizers through efficient private sector-led supply systems to improve and maintain soil fertility in Senegal. The project activities are organized into three major components which are: (1) Improved and appropriate fertilizer formulas developed and made available to farmers (2) Proven and environmentally sound fertilizer products and technologies disseminated and upscaled, (3) Improved fertilizer policy and regulatory environment. The main beneficiaries are small farmers; input supply chain actors; extension and research agents; and vulnerable groups. The project operates in the five Feed the Future Zones of Influence (ZoI) which are Casamance, Senegal Oriental, the Peanut Basin, Niayes and the Senegal River Valley. The target crops are dry cereals, rice, and vegetables.

    Feed The Future Senegal DUNDËL SUUF Project Annual Report 2022
    (2022-04) IFDC
    The Feed the Future Senegal Dundël Suuf is funded by USAID/Senegal at the request of the Government of Senegal. It is being implemented by the International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC) as part of the larger Feed the Future "Enhancing Growth through Regional Agricultural Input Systems" (EnGRAIS) project in West Africa. The activity contributes to the Senegalese government's goal of sustainably increasing production to achieve self-sufficiency in rice, maize, millet, sorghum, onion and potato, and even exporting surplus horticultural products. The objective of the Dundël Suuf activity is to improve soil fertility through the development and promotion of appropriate and environmentally sound fertilization products and technologies. The achievement of this objective requires three intermediate results: i) Development of improved and appropriate fertilizer formulas for the benefit of farmers ii) Dissemination and scaling up of proven environmentally sound fertilizer products and technologies (FDP, MD). iii) Improvement of the policy and regulatory framework of the fertilizer sector In this dynamic, the private sector will play an important role in improving the efficiency of supply systems to increase the availability and use of quality fertilizers in Senegal.
