SC 2.3 is led by MEF-PIU with Centre for Policy Studies (CPS) as Implementing Partner. CPS coordinates with Ministries, inter-Ministerial committees and technical working groups responsible for each policy area.
MEF supports coordination with relevant projects to ensure that resources for policy studies are used in an efficient manner without duplication of an effort, and for strengthening the policy relevance of the programme as a whole. Likewise, MEF will seek to ensure that policy studies resources do not duplicate efforts financed by other development partners.
SC 2.3 finances policy research and strategic studies related to improving the productivity of the rural economy, particularly in value chains based on smallholder agriculture.
