This project involves the development of pulse value chains through intercropping systems in Loka Abaya woreda, SNNPR region, Ethiopia. The project aims to address chronic food insecurity and agricultural production risks and is expected to generate economic and social benefits by increasing household incomes, graduating 50,000 households from the Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP), and improving climate resilience through diversified farming systems. As part of USAID/Ethiopia's US$2 million Graduation with Resilience to Achieve Sustainable Development (GRAD) project, a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis was conducted in line with international good practices, assessing the project's financial viability, economic efficiency, and distributional impacts. The analysis included detailed yield comparisons between intercropping and monocropping systems, risk diversification assessments, input cost analyses for improved seeds and fertilizers, and loan repayment capacity evaluations through microfinance institutions, ensuring robust decision-making support for USAID/Ethiopia and implementing partners (CARE, REST, ORDA, CRS, SNV, and Tufts University).
