São Tomé and Principe - Infrastructure Rehabilitation for Food Security Support Project – Project II

The Infrastructure Rehabilitation for Food Security Support Project – Project II (PRIASA II), which is scheduled to last for five years, benefits from an ADF loan of UA 11.5 million and a GEF/LDCF grant of USD 3.5 million. PRIASA II seeks to improve food and nutritional security in Sao Tomé and Principe (STP) by increasing the supply and value of agricultural and fishery products throughout the year. The project, with NGO support, will closely involve the farmers, fishermen and communities on the islands of Sao Tomé and Principe. Apart from basic infrastructure (roads, irrigation networks, markets, etc.), the project will disseminate new techniques on quality improvement, conservation, processing and marketing of produce. These activities will be accompanied by capacity building to develop the national expertise crucial to the management of these innovations from all perspectives (technical, health, legislative, etc.).
