P4P Results 2009 - 2012 • Capacity-building in agribusiness management and technological innovation, through agreements and contracts, in two countries: Guatemala and Honduras. • In all four CA countries (ES, NIC, GU and HO) the WFP’s purchasing power was used to strengthen and complement initiatives already under way: RED SICTA, 3 SICTA projects (Swiss, IDB, EU, Korea) and national programs. • Actions focused on assessing and strengthening technological, agribusiness capabilities and practices to better link small producer organizations to markets.
P4P Results 2009 -2012 • Regional Evaluation of the P4P carried out in order to improve its performance and strengthen the Project technically and financially (Joint Mission IICA/WFP – 2009). • Progress in Implementing Main Conclusions: • In Progress: Specialized Technical Cooperation from IICA has helped farmer organizations to overcome bottlenecks in aspects related to technological innovation, marketing and partnerships. • Pending: Need for a mutually agreed common approach for regional interventions.
