| Title: | Zambia - IFAD Country Programme - October 2012 |
| Description: | Twenty-seven years old Muyoli Nyambe, member of the Linda Horticulture Farmer’s Group partially funded by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) tends to his tomatoes in a green house plantation close to the town of Livingstone in southern Zambia on October 9, 2012. The primary objective of IFAD’s operations in Zambia is to support the commercialization of smallholder agriculture, in particular by creating links between small-scale farmers and suppliers and market intermediaries, and by improving the availability of rural financial services to small-scale farmers. This objective has been introduced in order to meet the new challenges and opportunities for smallholder development that have been made possible through liberalization. IFAD also helps poor smallholders in remote areas to make best use of natural resources to improve food production and food security. |
