Markets & Value Chains in Agriculture Liberia - Monitoring Consultant GROW Liberia

Support to development of markets and value chains within selected agricultural sub-sectors, adopting a 'making-markets-work-for-the-poor' (M4P) approach.

The overall goal of GROW is to contribute to sustainable peace and poverty reduction through inclusive and integrated economic development. Its objective (expected impact) is substantially increased incomes and employment opportunities for a large number of poor women, men and youth, created through Market and Value Chain (M&VC) development in agriculture in Liberia. The expected outcome is increased business activities, trade and value addition through increased capacity and competitiveness of smallholder farmers and related micro and small enterprises. The expected outputs are systemic changes in market systems relevant for smallholder farmers and related micro and small enterprises in terms of 1) Improved market functions; 2) Improved performance of support services; and 3) Improved business environment.   The direct target groups are smallholder farmers and related owners of micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in the selected agricultural sub-sectors, with special focus on women and youth, who are willing and able to take the risk that accompanies innovation and change. The indirect target group includes workers and daily labourers, other farmers and enterprises that profit from the interventions, and small enterprises which will benefit from the increased income of the direct target group. Consumers are also expected to profit from better and cheaper products.   It is an innovative programme with an innovative approach. It is facilitated by the Adam Smith International, contracted by Sida to design and to implement the Programme.
