CA-3-A034613001 2026-07-10T06:32:42 The Agricultural Growth Program (AGP) is a national initiative supported by the World Bank, CIDA, and other donors that is targeting smallholder farming. The Program is designed to help increase agricultural productivity and market access for key crops and livestock in Ethiopia. It is focussing on 83 districts with high potential for agricultural growth in the four regions of: Amhara; Oromiya; Southern Nations, Nationalities, and People’s Region; and Tigray. The Program aims to: i) support a range of activities designed to improve agricultural extension services and strengthen farmer organizations and supply systems for key inputs such as seeds and livestock breeds; ii) improve soil and water conservation practices, and rural infrastructure including small-scale irrigation, rural markets and feeder roads; iii) provide training in innovative farming and marketing practices to 126,000 households, of which 9,000 are women-headed and 31,500 are youth-headed; and iv) provide technical support for 4,800 groups, which includes setting up 50 seed production groups and 400 small-scale agro-processing groups.

Results achieved as of March 2016 include: (1) a total of 3,876 small scale irrigation schemes were rehabilitated or constructed benefitting approximately 53,631 smallholder farmers including 13,376 women and 5,609 youth; (2) a total of 300 best practices for crop, livestock and natural resource management technologies were identified and disseminated through training of development agents and farmers; (3) the equivalent of 180,000 training days in various agricultural productivity practices were provided to farmers, including the equivalent of 36,000 training days explicitly targeting women; (4) agricultural yields have increased by 16.2% in targeted locations; and (5) a total of 543 km of roads were constructed to increase market access. These results have contributed to increasing agricultural productivity and market access for key crop and livestock products in targeted locations within Ethiopia, leading to improved food security and economic growth for the country.
