IFDC is a public international organization active in 27 countries in Africa, Asia, and America. IFDC uniquely approaches the global issues of food security and poverty by bridging the gap between research and impact, combining science-based innovations, holistic market systems development, an enabling policy environment, and strategic partnerships to assist farmers and countries to identify and scale sustainable agricultural solutions, including improved nutrient use efficiency. These approaches are needed to boost soil health and crop productivity while reducing the environmental impact of fertilizer use. IFDC translates research into action by using locally driven, environmentally sound, and impact-oriented solutions. With our partners, we seek to close the yield gap, eradicate global hunger, safeguard the soil on which our lives depend, and generate economic resilience for farming households and the countries in which they live.

About Program/Project

The PSSD Project aims to double the productivity and income of 80,000 family farms. To achieve this goal, 213,200 family farms will see their productivity (and/or income) increase by ensuring access to inputs for 266,500 family farms. This impact and these results will be reflected in the four components described below:



Component 1: Continuing the development of the seed sector by scaling up and industrializing seed businesses to produce and sell seeds of beans, corn, potatoes, and vegetables. In this area, the PSSD will:

Increase seed volumes by developing technologies, infrastructure, and irrigation among major seed producers and seed companies;
Expand geographical access to quality seeds by co-financing the production, sales, and distribution of seeds with seed companies through a network of agro-distributors;
Strengthen collaboration between international and national seed companies to stimulate the transfer of technologies and capacities for seeds (hybrid potato seeds, hybrid corn, and vegetables) and suppliers of agricultural technologies and infrastructure in the East African Community and Burundian seed companies.

Component 2: Strengthening the business enabling environment. The PSSD, in collaboration with public institutions such as the ONCCS and ISABU, will ensure a favorable business environment for companies by carrying out the following activities:

Harmonizing the mechanisms, systems, and processes for coordinating advance orders;
Ensuring the implementation of the National Seed Plan for the multiplication and availability of pre-basic, basic, and certified seeds;
Training farmer-researchers to conduct research on participatory variety selection for cassava in PAGRIS areas, with ISABU, while introducing and testing new crop varieties (sunflower and sorghum);
Ensuring the implementation of the updates to the regulations approved between 2019 and 2022;
Strengthening the inspection capacity of the National Seed Trade Association (COPROSEBU), its financial viability, and the regulatory framework for seed pre-orders.

Component 3: Improving the resilience of farming households. The PSSD will ensure the resilience of households by carrying out the following activities:

PSSD partners will establish plots to demonstrate climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices and integrated soil fertility management (ISFM), alongside demonstration and promotion plots;
Promoting high-yield and drought-tolerant varieties;
Experimenting with post-harvest handling, aggregation, and marketing of agricultural products.

Component 4: Leveraging collaboration with projects funded by the Netherlands. The PSSD will expand access to seeds, diversify seed varieties, and reach new beneficiaries by connecting seed companies with households located in the areas surrounding other projects funded by the Dutch Embassy.
