Project General Description
The Emergency Wheat Production Project II (SEWPP II) entail improved access to agricultural inputs and financing, investment in climate-resilient farming practices, and dissemination of modern technologies to boost wheat production in Sudan. SEWPP I Project laid the foundation for sustainable agricultural production as well as resilient food systems and food security nationwide. SEWPP Project II not only stands on its own, building on SEWPP I by expanding to critical downstream-focused activities along the wheat value chain, it also benefits from synergies with other projects and programs targeting similar objectives and beneficiaries. It will be implemented in four states : Gezira, Kassala, Northern, and River Nile states—strategically chosen for their extensive irrigated infrastructure, supported by proximity to the Nile River, and particularly for Kassala, access to cultivable land of nearly 1.7 million hectares and water resources. The project components are : (i) Provision of Climate-Smart Agricultural Inputs ; (ii) Production Systems Support and Strengthening ; (iii) Harvest and Post-Harvest Processing and Market Support ; (iv) Project Management and Coordination. The total cost of the project is estimated at UA 72.00 million, excluding VAT and customs, over 3 years.
Project Objectives
The project development objective is to increase production, productivity, and income generation of the wheat-producing smallholders in Sudan. This will be achieved through targeted investments in climate-smart inputs, sustainable irrigation, post-harvest management and capacity-building. In so doing, the project aims to provide both immediate relief and long-term solutions to Sudan’s wheat production challenge.
Beneficiaries
