REDI II - Objectives & Approach

Enhancement to the REDI II approaches. Building on the experience and results of REDI II, the new project will focus on strengthening value chains and the development of tourism clusters, with an emphasis on the linkages between producers/service providers and buyers, to improve economies of scale for small agricultural and tourism enterprises and to mainstream climate resilience.

• Facilitating the strengthening of the supply chain linkages between the agricultural sector and end users in processing, the tourism sector, fast food chains, restaurants and supermarkets.
• Supporting the development of community-based tourism as a viable option and opportunity for economic investment.
• Strengthening the capacity of rural groups to be able to plan and implement income- generating projects.
• Ensuring greater sustainability of rural development through inter agency collaboration.
