The overall objective of this project is to increase food security and improve access to primary education by integrating farmers into the supply chain of beverage industries. This project, which started on February 1, 2009, is focusing on the inclusion of smallholder farmers into the sorghum value chain, including access to credit and markets. The project permits a simultaneous enhancement of agricultural supply chains for the food and beverage industry while sharing and minimizing the associated risks. It will contribute to improving the livelihood conditions of the households involved by improving food security and generating a regular income. Moreover, by mobilizing social investment funds, the program will involve the community in the development of social projects, such as improving access to primary education in both isolated and impoverished areas.
