Afghanistan RAMP Rebuilding Agricultural Markets in Afghanistan: RAMP 2004 Strategy Paper

摘要

On July 3, 2003, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) issued a three-year contract to Chemonics International Inc. to implement the Rebuilding Afghanistans Agricultural Markets (RAMP) program. The program aims to enhance food security and increase rural incomes in support of and in coordination with the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry (MAAH). RAMP provides technical assistance, production finance, and infrastructure rehabilitation support to achieve those goals. RAMP has two main operational objectives: increasing agricultural productivity and output; and increasing incomes through effective linkages among producers, processors, and markets.
