Eritrea Holds National Seed Workshop

摘要

A Post-Crisis Rural Recovery Development Program (PCRRDP) was implemented in Gash Barka and Debub with funding from International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). Noting its successful implementation and the implications for national food security, the Government of Eritrea (GoE) requested an expansion of the program by presenting a proposal to its development partners (IFAD, EU, UNDP, and FAO). This led to the development of the PCRRDP Add-on Program in September 2008, including support forseed production in the zobas (regions) of Debub, Gash Barka, Maakel, Anseba, and Northern Red Sea. The seed component of the PCRRDP Add-on Program would extend, expand, and further strengthen the development of a national seed system under the NationalAgriculture Program (NAP) project.
