Improved food security and income generation opportunities through reduction of food losses in supported food grains and pulses value chains.
Target groups The primary target group (direct clients) are: (i) national, regional and local governments and policy makers; (ii) Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), (iii) national and international Research and Development /and training institutions, including Universities, (iv) private sector actors, (v) and other development partners which are all considered as “change agents” in terms of improved PHM. The secondary target group (indirect clients, except for the smallholders benefiting from test pilots) are: (i) smallholder farming households and rural communities in food deficit areas of the three pilot countries; (ii) and Bi- and Multi-lateral Partners, including Regional Institutions/ Organisations.
Medium-term outcomes Outcome 1: Knowledge of the magnitude and sources of food losses and the methodology for food loss analyses expanded and good practice options for reducing post-harvest losses compiled and disseminated through a reinforced and fully functioning Community of Practice (CoP) website. Outcome 2: Improved post-harvest management within the targeted value chains are benefitting smallholder farmers in countries through the dissemination of results of food loss analyses and the experience of pilot food loss interventions Outcome 3: Policy and regulatory frameworks (policy, standards) on reducing food losses in food supply chains are developed and validated at national and regional levels |
