Second Rural Productive Partnerships Project - Colombia

The project strengthened productive alliances between smallholder rural producer organizations and private agribusiness buyers through subproject financing combining technical assistance, productive asset investment, and business development training to improve market access. Its objective was to increase rural competitiveness and agricultural entrepreneurship in poor rural communities through a demand-driven scheme anchored in private sector engagement. The project incorporated explicit inclusion mechanisms targeting women, indigenous communities, and Afro-Colombians within agricultural value chains.
