11. Main objective of the Project :
The overall
objective of the longer term program (NATP in three phases over 15 years) is to
support GOB’s strategy to improve national
agricultural productivity and farm income, with a particular focus on small and
marginal farmers. The development
objective of the phase 1 of the NATP is to improve effectiveness of the
national agricultural technology system in Bangladesh.
The project
development objective will be achieved by increasing efficiency and
effectiveness of agricultural research and extension systems, and by
strengthening farmer market linkages. More specifically, the national
agricultural technology system would be enabled to support:
· High priority,
pluralistic, participatory and demand-led agricultural research;
· Decentralized,
participatory, demand-led and knowledge-based approach for agricultural
extension;
· Improved
post-harvest technology and management practices for high value agriculture by
promoting farmer-market linkages as part of the development of selected supply
chains; and
· Agreed reforms
for the agricultural research and extension systems, increased public funding
for the systems and promote effective use of such resources, and promote
public-private partnership in research, extension and supply chain development.
