Agricultural Credit Project

The project assisted the Cooperative and Agricultural Credit Bank (CACB) by providing it with the foreign exchange required to procure inputs to meet the needs of small farmers and artisanal fishermen. The project also assisted the CACB in improving its capacity and its institutional, financial and managerial capabilities to extend loans to small farmers who produce high-value cash crops and livestock, and to fishers.
