The ultimate goal of the Project is improved access to finance and market for farmers through improved capacity of farmers, supply chain aggregators and financial intermediaries in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The achievement of the goal will be demonstrated by (a) value of financing facilitated, (b) no. of farmers reached directly or through financial intermediaries and supply chain partners, and (c) aggregate value of revenue increase along supply chains. The goal is expected to be achieved through a programmatic approach with 2 key components: (a) Improved capacity of FIs. Under this component, the Project will work with financial institutions (FIs) to implement agri financing and risk management solutions with partner FIs, as well as train them on how to deliver value-added advice (cross-selling, agri-financing instruments etc.) to farmers-borrowers. (b) Enhanced capacity of farmers through supply chain aggregators as a means to improve their access to finance and markets. To achieve this, the Project will design solutions to address weaknesses of farmers, supply chain aggregators and address weak links with FIs. The Project will also train the aggregators to deliver training/advice to their clients/ farmers. The Project will focus on the most bankable agricultural products in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Implemented aggregator centric solution will be piloted then replicated in other regions and Project countries.
