The Government of Nepal (GoN) and International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) have designed and developed the Resilient High Value Agriculture Programme (R-HVAP) with the objective of reducing poverty and improve resilience of small holder farmers by transforming agriculture into inclusive, agroecological and profitable agri-food systems. R-HVAP adopts a stratified approach to target poor smallholder farmers, Producer Organizations (POs), and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) while ensuring the participation of women and youth. It is designed as a foundation building initiative that establishes the necessary capacity, service provision, infrastructure, and enabling policy and regulatory frameworks for initiating the transition towards self-reliant agroecological farming systems that produce a range of commodities for domestic and export markets. The programme will cover three provinces in Western Nepal: Lumbini, Karnali, and Sudurpashchim and operate in approximately 100 Municipalities (Palikas). The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development (MoALD) is the lead programme agency and will work in coordination with the Ministry of Finance (MoF), the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD), Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies (MoICS), the respective Ministries of Agriculture, Environment and Forests at provincial level, and other relevant agencies/stakeholders.
