The investment is part of the Country Strategic Plan (CSP) 2024–2028. The plan aims to achieve two key outcomes by 2030, which are establishing climate-resilient livelihoods to enhance food security and nutrition, and strengthening human capital to create a food system resilient to climate crises and shocks.
