Technical and administrative support to the EDF National Authorising Officer (NAO) and the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) for the successful implementation of the Belize Rural Development Programme (BRDP II).
The BRDP II aims at increasing rural household incomes and food security by contributing to the rural market economy’s expansion. The programme has three main components:
1) Enterprise promotion and employment generation in rural areas,
2) Rehabilitation of economic rural infrastructure,
3) Institutional strengthening and support for the formulation of development policies.
The BRDP II is implemented mainly by grant call for proposals, infrastructure tenders and TA for institutional support and management.
