least 500,000 low-income smallholder farmers – the majority of whom are women – will produce food surpluses and sell them at a fair price to increase
their incomes.
Building Blocks

Quick facts about P4P
Global Facts Beneficiaries: 500,000 farmers
Duration: 5 years (Sept 2008 - Sept 2013)
Total funding: US$137 million for technical capacity for 5 years (food not included)
Key donors – Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Howard G. Buffett Foundation, European Commission, Governments of Belgium, Canada, Ireland, Luxembourg and the United States of America and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Main AchievementsFood Purchases – 50,000 metric tons (mt) of food contracted in 17 countries
Farmers Involved • 580 farmers’ organizations representing almost 700,000 farmers have been
identified to be involved in P4P — so far, 80 of those farmers’ organizations have sold food commodities to WFP
Capacity Building • 25,000 people trained in skills including organization management, farming
techniques, quality control & post harvest handling • 700 WFP and partner staff members trained
Partnerships • Working with approximately with 100 different partners including, Government
(ministries & other agencies), UN agencies, local and international NGOs
Learning and Sharing• A comprehensive M & E system is currently being rolled out • Technical Review Panel established and held its 1st meeting
• Access to credit and other financial services
• Weak farmers organizations
• Insufficient matching between supply-side partners and P4P targeted farmers
Challenges
We are excited because we are going to gain (agricultural and marketing) knowledge. Through increased information on proper commercial farming, there is a chance of reduced poverty levels.. We are going to get a bigger profit because we will have access to a bigger market. Our children will be able to finish school and to dress and feed better.
