The project is designed as a post-crisis intervention to support the rehabilitation of the livelihoods of smallholder farmers, which have been weakened by the civil conflict. The project works to restore the productive assets of farmers and farmer groups, and rehabilitate or build essential infrastructure to support food production, marketing and processing activities.

IFAD provides kits containing tools and seeds and other inputs to poor small-scale farmers, while the West African Development Bank finances activities to rebuild rural infrastructure, improve the access of smallholders to technologies and markets and improve household food security. The target group comprises the poorest and most vulnerable sectors of the population, in particular women, young people and people affected by the war. The project area covers three administrative districts; Bandama Valley, Zanzan and Savanes in the north-eastern region.
