  ROME, Italy The government of Haiti and the UN International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) signed a financing agreement on Tuesday for a project that will help Haitian farmers recover from the impact of COVID-19 and increase staple food production. The project will kickstart rapid recovery of agricultural production and incomes by rehabilitating small-scale irrigation systems – a basic necessity in a country badly hit by climate change, provide essential agricultural inputs and help increase farmers’ resilience.   The Emergency Project for Strengthening the Resilience of Small Farmers to the Consequences of the COVID-19 Pandemic (PURRACO, by its French acronym) is a US $5.8 million project ($5 million from IFAD; $0.5 million from the Haitian government and a beneficiaries’ in-kind contribution of $0.3 million). It will benefit 3,250 poor rural households (around 13,000 people, half of whom will be women and 30 per cent youth).
