Project development objective
• enhance the productivity of agriculture ( crop, livestock and fisheries) in selected agro-ecologically constrained and economically depressed areas, characterized predominantly by poor , smallholder farmer households.

components
• Technology generation
• Technology adoption
• Water management
• Technical assistance, capacity building and project management
(linking small farmers to market - not approved)

Technology generation
• Purpose : generate and release new varieties that give higher yield and adapt to agro-ecological condition
-rice ( submergence-heat-salt-tolerant, shorter maturation)-maize (higher yield)-oil seeds (shorter maturation, higher yield)
![Page 5: GAFSP Bangladesh Project](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56814aad550346895db7c0cd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Technology generation-2
• Sub components-development & release of new varieties-development of techno-agronomic practices-breed development for pond fishes (carp, tilapia, catfish)
![Page 6: GAFSP Bangladesh Project](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56814aad550346895db7c0cd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Technology generation-3
• Funded activities -research-incremental staffing and operating costs-validation and adaptation trial costs-collecting of fish breeders from natural resources-genetic stock upgrading of pond fish-training for plant and seed breeders, pathologists, etc

![Page 8: GAFSP Bangladesh Project](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56814aad550346895db7c0cd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Technology adoption-2
• Sub components -production and supply of quality seed and breeding material
-farm-level productivity enhancement
![Page 9: GAFSP Bangladesh Project](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56814aad550346895db7c0cd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Technology adoption-3
Funded Activities -upgrading facilities for production and supply of
breeder, foundation and certified seeds for targeted crops,
-enhancing facilities for enhanced availability of good quality fish fry and fingerlings at farmers level
-enhancing hatchery facilities and improving quality management for day-old chicks
-scaling up artificial insemination program and animal vaccine

Water management
• Purpose: improve water use, promote economic use of surface water to significantly increase agricultural productivity
• Sub components: -conservation/ use of surface water-water efficient agriculture
![Page 12: GAFSP Bangladesh Project](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56814aad550346895db7c0cd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Water management-2
Funded Activities • Surface water control and conservation
(augmenting small rivers, canals, ponds,etc0
• Rain water harvesting (water capture)
• Investments in irrigation infrastructure• Promotion of on farm water management
practices• Capacity building and support for water
users’ association
![Page 13: GAFSP Bangladesh Project](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56814aad550346895db7c0cd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Technical assistance (TA), capacity building, project mgt
• Purpose : -develop public sector capacity for program development in agri , food security-build implementation capacity of key agencies
![Page 14: GAFSP Bangladesh Project](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56814aad550346895db7c0cd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
TA - 2
Funded Activities:• Building skills and technical expertise in

Sustainability measures
• Project activities to be implemented primarily through farmers/beneficiaries groups -clear eligible criteria ( willingness, capacity)
- 30% of members are women or women only groups • Intensive capacity building and TA for farmer groups,
field implementors• Tech disemination by farmer-led, farmer-farmer
mechanisms• Targets small and marginal farmers , women,
disadvantaged and vulnerable groups • Activities should not have adverse environmental
impact
