Adaptation of agricultural value chains to climate change – PrAda II+

The PrAda II+ project is a proposed five-year initiative in Madagascar designed to transition the agricultural sector toward climate resilience. Focusing on five key value chains—coffee, clove, peanut, pepper, and vanilla—the project targets six regions (Androy, Anosy, Atsimo-Atsinanana, Vatovavy, Fitovinany, and Atsinanana) where poverty is high and climate hazards like droughts and cyclones are frequent. The project employs a three-pronged approach: introducing climate-resilient agricultural (CRA) technologies, expanding financial services (including a public subsidy mechanism via the Agricultural Development Fund), and improving entrepreneurial and institutional environments. It aims to directly benefit 374,800 people and indirectly benefit over 2.5 million others, with a total indicative cost of EUR 54.7 million.

• The project targets six regions in Madagascar—Androy, Anosy, Atsimo-Atsinanana, Vatovavy, Fitovinany, and Atsinanana—where high poverty levels and a heavy reliance on agriculture (between 72.3% and 92.4%) increase vulnerability to climate change.
• Five specific agricultural value chains (VCs) have been selected for the project due to their economic importance and adaptation potential: coffee, clove, peanut, pepper, and vanilla.
• Climate hazards in the target regions include increasing temperatures, more frequent dry spells and droughts, and extreme rainfall and wind events, which negatively impact crop yields and quality.
• The project identifies five primary barriers to climate resilience: insufficient weather information, lack of CRA know-how and resilient seeds, inadequate financial services, low professional organization in VCs, and a weak institutional framework.
• A central part of the financial strategy is to scale up the Agricultural Development Fund (FDA), a public financing vehicle, by allocating approximately EUR 18 million in grants to vulnerable smallholders for CRA investments.
• The project aims to reach 374,800 direct beneficiaries (approximately 89,000 households) and 2,520,054 indirect beneficiaries, with women representing roughly 50% of the direct beneficiaries.
• The project's total indicative cost is EUR 54.7 million, with EUR 40 million requested as a grant from the Green Climate Fund and EUR 14.7 million in co-financing, primarily from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
• The project's implementation is structured around three components: climate-resilient production systems, financial services for CRA and risk transfer, and the creation of an enabling entrepreneurial and institutional environment.
