Agricultural Technology Transfer Project in Peru

The project aimed to improve the quality and relevance of agricultural technology being generated for Peruvian farmers, with the ultimate goal of increasing rural incomes and reducing unit costs of agricultural production. The project's scope focused on expanding the scope and improving the quality of agricultural technology transfer services being provided to Peruvian farmers. Initial assessments identified key challenges, including limited access to technology and inadequate training for farmers. To address these challenges, the project implemented a range of interventions, including farmer training programs, infrastructure development, and market linkage facilitation. The project's geographic focus was on rural areas in Peru, with a specific emphasis on the Andean region. The project's timeframes were set for a three-year period, with a completion date of 2021. The estimated cost of the project was $43,095, with funding provided by USAID and other donors. The project's schedule of funding was approved in 2018, with a total of $25,000 allocated for the first year. The project's evaluation and monitoring framework included regular assessments of project progress and impact. The project's scheduled evaluations were set for 2020 and 2021, with a focus on measuring the project's effectiveness in achieving its objectives. The project's source of goods and services was primarily through interagency agreements, with a total of $16,095 allocated for goods and services in the first year.
