The project is enabling 5,50,000 microenterprises to expand their activities sustainably through the adoption of efficient production methods, compliance with internationally recognized food safety and traceability standards, and strong market linkages. It also contributes to creating an enabling environment that promotes the growth of micro and small enterprises and strengthens their linkages with agribusinesses and other value chain actors. Additionally, nutrition, gender and youth, and environmental issues will be addressed through the value chain activities, which fall into three broad categories.

This component is providing sustainable financial services to micro-entrepreneurs and growing/larger enterprises and agribusinesses allowing sustainable growth of their practices. The project also leverages commercial finance through non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs) for investment in growing/larger enterprises and agribusinesses to expand the market for the output of micro-enterprises.
This component aims to strengthen PKSF and PO capability as development organisations by leveraging trends in ICT, financial services, commercial platforms and new technologies, and to ensure that the project is managed satisfactorily. It has three subcomponents: (i) PKSF capacity building; (ii) POs capacity building; and (iii) project management.
