DĂ©tail de la mission
As part of a response to a call for tenders in Ghana, CA 17 International, partner of Rives & Eaux du Sud-Ouest, is proposing new opportunities for collaboration on a project aimed at increasing agricultural incomes and promoting inclusive, climate-resilient, and sustainable economic growth in rural communities within the joint intervention area of the programme.
The project aims to facilitate access to productive and environmentally friendly infrastructure to contribute to household income growth and the sustainable development of agricultural trade. The specific objectives are:
1. Improve access to water for agriculture through the rehabilitation, construction, and equipping of irrigation infrastructure (dams, solar pumping systems).
2. Strengthen the capacities of agricultural producers, notably through the creation and training of Water Users Associations (WUAs).
3. Promote sustainable and agroecological agricultural practices to increase yields while preserving natural resources.
4. Develop agricultural value chains, especially for rice and horticulture, to boost producers’ incomes.
5. Ensure the sustainable management of infrastructure by implementing maintenance mechanisms and local governance systems.
6. Integrate environmental and social dimensions through the implementation of impact studies (ESIA, ESMP, RAP) and appropriate mitigation measures.
7. Strengthen the institutional capacities of public actors (MoFA, GIDA, PMU) in planning, project management, monitoring & evaluation, procurement, and financial management.
