Guinea Bissau - Support project for the resilience of groups and farms in the northern and eastern regions of Guinea Bissau (PARGEA) — Guinea-Bissau

Overview

The Support Project for the Resilience of Agricultural Groups and Farms in the North and East Regions of Guinea Bissau (PARGEA) aims to contribute to the strengthening of the resilience of the populations concerned. Indeed, the superposition of crises in the country has had serious consequences on the agro-sylvo-pastoral sector, food and nutritional security, and the livelihoods of the majority of the population who depend on agriculture. The implementation of the PARGEA will allow the operationalization of the Guinea-Bissau Country Resilience Priorities Document (PRP AGIR), adopted by the Government in February 2017 and will thus contribute to strengthening the resilience of rural populations. The project is worth UA 1,000,000 and is financed by a TAF Pillar III grant. It comprises three components: (1) Institutional capacity building for early warning and rapid response; (2) Various support to small-scale producers and other stakeholders; and (3) Coordination and management of the project. The implementation period is 30 months.
