About FSCP-GIAF-Ethiopia:
CNFA begin implementing a 30-month GIZ-funded Farm Service Center Project, which is part of the GIZ Green Innovation Centre for the Agriculture and Food Sector – Ethiopia portfolio (FSCP-GIAF-Ethiopia). The FSCP-GIAF-Ethiopia will establish three private retail input supply stores (Farm Service Centers - FSCs) that will link targeted smallholder farmers in the Arsi zone, of the Oromia Region to high-quality agricultural inputs and extension services. The project has been strategically aligned to build the role of the private sector under the GIZ-Green Innovation Centre initiative and has been designed to promote a collaborative communication with the USAID-funded Farm Service Center Project (FSCP), which is being implemented by CNFA-DC and the Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Agency (ATA). These two projects share the same end goal – which is to use the FSC model improve agricultural production and, by providing retail access to inputs and services, increase yields, improve livelihoods and bring a positive impact to agricultural transformation.
