The project objective was to contribute to increasing the productivity of major crops and diversifying agricultural production in Indénié-Djuablin (former Moyen-Comoé) region. The project could not be implemented because of armed conflict in the country for nearly a decade and suspension of disbursements. With the return to peace, the Government has reaffirmed the priority given to the project in view of its potential for contributing to the country’s food security. The operation, now called “Agricultural Infrastructure Support Project in Indénié- Djuablin Region (PAIA-ID)”, has therefore been reappraised to take into account the Bank’s new strategic orientations, the state of degradation of infrastructure, and the current institutional constraints. The project will contribute to improving food security and reducing poverty in rural areas. Specifically, it aims to increase, on a sustainable basis, the production and productivity of the major crops. The project will comprise two technical components: (i) infrastructure development to restore conditions for the production and marketing of agricultural products that deteriorated drastically during the military and political conflict; and (ii) building of organizational and institutional capacities to boost the agricultural production system. The project cost, estimated at UA 21.95 million, will be financed by ADF to the tune of UA 21.6 million in the form of a grant, and by the Government and beneficiaries in the amount of UA 0.35 million. The main expected project outputs are as follows: rehabilitation of 923 ha of irrigated lowlands and 620 km of rural roads, the construction of 40 boreholes, 7 improved village water supply systems
