This component aims to make the subsistence smallholders and the poor and vulnerable beneficiaries of the “Jigisemejiri” TM more productive.

The component will provide support to members of beneficiary households and to associations, groups and co-operative societies for the development of income-generating activities, thus providing a more stable and sustainable source of income. The component is expected to support 10,000 income-generating activities throughout the life of the project. On the basis of the Jigisemejiri Community Targeting learnings, interested persons would be pre-selected by committees led by local authorities at communal and village levels.

A maximum subsidy of CFAF 120,000 is foreseen for beneficiaries paid as TM in two installments according to the specifications included in the beneficiaries’ business plans and in the implementation manual.
