The grant-funded technical assistance produced a target population assessment and a market linkages study of agricultural opportunities, with a focus on climate-resilient crops, to inform the economic inclusion pilot. The World Bank and Government teams engaged in technical meetings through the Social Protection and Agriculture agencies to harmonize interventions towards a more effective inclusion of poor and vulnerable households in rural and peri-urban areas in targeted provinces. The design of these joint interventions includes the development of horticulture for poor and vulnerable households in peri-urban areas to integrate them with small emerging commercial farmers while focusing on food security.
