CAP-BAHAMAS: Growing a Stronger Goat and Sheep Sector - IICA component 5535-00

Start Date: 24/02/2025
End Date: 18/07/2026

Description

Cooperation initiative to improve productivity and reduce emissions intensity in small ruminant systems in The Bahamas through climate-smart agricultural practices and waste recovery. The institutional presentation of CAP-BAHAMAS identifies IICA as the implementing organization and the New Zealand Government as the funder through its Climate Smart Agriculture Initiative. The programme page envisages trials at the Gladstone Road Agricultural Centre, its strengthening as a demonstration and training hub, extension materials and an investment case for accessing international climate finance. The financial and administrative scope of this record is the associated IICA operation 5535-00 with AgResearch: technological and economic feasibility assessments, review of national prediction equations, training of trainers and planned participation of two national representatives in the Caribbean Cooperative MRV Hub Agricultural Work Crew. The association of that operation with the CAP-BAHAMAS name rests on matching country, institutions, sector and objectives; the sources do not explicitly equate the two identifiers.

Observations

SCOPE AND IDENTITY: CCRAF-IICA publishes the short title CAP-BAHAMAS: Growing a Stronger Goat and Sheep Sector. Its association with IICA operation 5535-00 is proposed on the basis of matching country, institutions, sector and objectives, not an explicit documentary equivalence; administrative confirmation is needed. The title identifies the component so that resources documented for that operation are not attributed to the entire programme. Administrative title: Agreement for the Provision of Services for New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre (NZAGRC) in the Bahamas. DATES: indexed administrative detail and institutional listing: 24 February 2025 to 18 July 2026. The New Zealand programme page gives a different timeframe, August 2024 to May 2026; this is preserved as programme context rather than merged with the administrative component. No extension instrument was reviewed. Completed is proposed from the elapsed administrative end date, not a certified technical closeout. BUDGET: USD 113,349 in total resources for operation 5535-00, not verified expenditure or the proven total of all CAP-BAHAMAS activities. Original currency USD; exchange_rate=1. Unspecified counterpart=NULL. No documented annual allocations: year_allocation=0; years_count and annual_average_budget=NULL. New Zealand Government is the funding source; AgResearch and NZAGRC are counterpart or delivery arrangements, not additional quantified contributions. RESULTS: objectives and planned outputs, not measured effects. No actual 150-farm coverage or observed benefits from the modelled scenario are recorded. The final report has not been retrieved. No automatic good-practice classification, resource or evidence registration. NZCSA and GRA are institutional context, not automatically policy frameworks. The Bahamian ministry is linked only if its identity can be resolved without substituting historical catalogue record 1073.
