Project Summary:
USAID Agriculture Extension Support Activity Project proposes to work in 20 districts in the central and southwest areas of Bangladesh, (Barisal, Dhaka, and Khulna divisions), to implement capacity building and support creation of a farmer demand-driven agricultural extension system, synergized by use of information communication technology (ICT). The Project will promote greater intensification and diversification of high-value commercial and nutritionally-rich crops and linkages to markets for sale of quality value-chain products. The focus will be on poor and vulnerable smallholder farmers experiencing food insecurity, with priority given to women farmers, living in increasingly fragile and degraded environments affected by natural disasters and climate change. A key emphasis is working closely with the Government of Bangladesh to identify gaps in existing capacities and build on efforts already under way.
