Implemented in all 26 regions of the mainland and Zanzibar, the programme will sustainably enhance incomes and increase food security for poor people by increasing their access to financial services and markets. It builds on the IFAD-supported Rural Financial Services Programme and the Agricultural Marketing Systems Development Programme.

The programme will support the implementation of the government’s agricultural sector development strategy, which envisages a modernized, commercial, highly productive and profitable agricultural sector by 2025. It will strengthen marketing infrastructure and systems, and the rural finance sector. The programme will achieve this by helping poor rural people gain access to a wider range of financial services, sustainable agricultural input and output markets, and opportunities to create and participate in rural enterprises.
