📋 Tender Overview
Phase 3 of the Communal Approach to the Agricultural Market in Benin (ACMA3) project (2022-2027) is financed by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Benin. ACMA3 intervenes in the Collines, Donga, and Borgou departments of Benin, working in the priority sectors of maize, cassava, soy, groundnut, small ruminants, poultry, and market gardening.
ACMA3 capitalizes on the experiences, lessons learned, and achievements of the project’s first and second phases. The project is aligned with the National Agricultural Development Policy, which was established by the Government of Benin and described in the Strategic Plan for the Development of the Agricultural Sector (PSDSA, 2017-2025) as well as the Government Action Program (2021-2026).
Implementation Strategy
The ACMA3 implementation strategy includes the establishment of a facilitating mechanism for job creation, private-sector economic development, and increased productivity. This will be achieved through support for the improvement of business relations and the promotion of climate-resilient agriculture. The facilitating mechanism includes instruments such as information and communication technology for agriculture (ICT4Ag) and strategic partnerships involving many private organizations. ACMA3 seeks to strengthen business relations among agribusiness cluster (ABC) actors. The project covers all 18 targeted communes in the Collines, Borgou, and Donga departments, reaching 44.36% of Benin’s national territory.
The ACMA3 program is implemented by IFDC, in collaboration with CARE Benin-Togo and KIT Royal Tropical Institute.
