Selection for Hiring of Support Organization for Uttar Pradesh Agriculture Growth and Rural Enterprises Ecosystem Strengthening (UP AGREES) Project for Devipatan Division

Background: -

The Government of Uttar Pradesh (GoUP) is in the process of preparing the Uttar Pradesh Agriculture Growth and Rural Enterprises Ecosystem Strengthening Project (UP-AGREES) with proposed financing from the World Bank the Uttar Pradesh Diversified Agriculture Support Project (UP-DASP) project coordination unit is an autonomous society established to promote sustainable agricultural growth with employment generation and poverty alleviation through agriculture diversification in the State. In addition to coordinating and monitoring the implementation of the UP-DASP project across the State, the society will also implement the proposed World Bank assisted Uttar Pradesh Agriculture Growth and Rural Enterprise Ecosystem Strengthening (UP-AGREES) Project.

The project includes a number of activities which could have favorable impact on agriculture, fisheries, and socio-economic aspects of the districts falling under the project at the individual project activity level. There is a need to anticipate various paradigms of the project outputs/outcomes and develop possible support mechanism to achieve the broader objectives. It is in this context that, as part of the project implementation, it is planned to hire the services of dedicated Support Organizations for providing all sorts of support to implementing agency PMU, UP DASP and the farmers in carrying out project activities and empowering the community to sustain the project outcome after the project period.

UP-AGREES project will be implemented in 28 districts of Eastern Uttar Pradesh and the Bundelkhand region.

The Project:-

The UP-AGREES project, with an outlay of about US$500 million, is envisaged to be implemented over six years. The project development objective is to “promote climate resilient, inclusive, and competitive value-chains of prioritized agriculture commodities in Uttar Pradesh”. The key project components are as follows:

Component 1 - Productivity Enhancement: This component focuses on strengthening agricultural productivity against the backdrop of high levels of climate risks and variability in productivity across the project areas. It focuses on strengthening Uttar Pradesh’s formidable position as the leading producer of multiple crops while enhancing the resilience of the dominant production systems. This component aims to address the existing productivity challenges through improved access to climate-smart inputs and efficient use of natural and fostering innovations that promote sustainability. The component will create a scale-friendly template for the uptake of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) investments by way of: (a) prioritization of affordable agricultural inputs, machinery, and technologies that boost farm productivity complemented by targeted extension services, (b) fortification of the production ecosystem targeting higher input efficiencies and soil fertility management, and (c) leveraging voluntary market-based mechanisms that seek to secure emissions reductions or avoidance credits (carbon or green) for sustainable agricultural practices.

Component 2 - Commodity Clusters: The objective of this component is to support the integration of smallholder farmers into value chains for select high-value commodities, thereby increasing productivity, value addition, and farmers" incomes. The component will address the current fragmentation of production and market activities in the sector and take advantage of the State"s potential to increase the commercialization of select high-value crops in domestic and export markets. The approach will be to identify and support "agri-clusters", which are networks of producers, agribusinesses, and public institutions within a defined geographic area engaged in the same agricultural subsector. This approach"s core is the institutions within a defined geographic area engaged in the same agricultural subsector. At the core of this approach is the interlinkage between the producer and the private off-taker, whether that be an agri-processor, exporter, or retailer. This partnership will be supported by production and market-based service providers, both public and private. By supporting strategic clusters, the aim is to build upon the existing competitive advantage of selected commodities and enhance these through working across the clusters. This component will also work towards enhancing fish productivity in farm ponds and reservoirs and improving access to the market. The sub-component seeks to unlock the fisheries potential of underutilized, underachieved reservoirs and farm ponds in Uttar Pradesh.

Component 3 - Digital and Financial Ecosystems: The project will harness forward-looking Industry technologies and integrate state-of-the-art technologies like AI, big data analytics, IoT, GIS, and drone technology to pioneer an Agriculture revolution in Uttar Pradesh. The interventions will align with national programs such as IndEA, IDEA, and Agri stack. The objective of the sub-component is to establish a state-wide digital agriculture ecosystem, support the agriculture and allied sectors with digital technologies, and develop data-sharing protocols for enhanced real-time monitoring. The project will assist the GoUP in developing a comprehensive digital agriculture policy and contribute to the global repository of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI). Further, this component will strive to improve per capita agri-credit from the formal financial institutions to improve productive investments and competitiveness in the agri-allied areas. The proposed interventions will cater to the diverse needs of agri-producers and market players ranging from small and marginal farmers to agriprenuers, farmer collectives, and agri MSEs (micro and small enterprises) through a range of financial instruments including but not limited to digitizing KCC, launching blended finance loan products, creating a challenge fund, etc.

Component 4 - Project Management, Learning, and Partnerships- The objectives of this component are to develop management and monitoring systems, enhance staff capacity for effective and efficient implementation of project activities, and develop partnerships with key national and global public and private sector organizations.

The Project Objectives:-

The primary objective of involving a Support Organisation (SO) in the implementation of the project is to ensure that the project is able to achieve the desired productivity levels of select crops at field level. Project’s aim is to empower local communities by actively engaging them in the decision-making process, fostering a sense of ownership and ensuring that the project outcomes are aligned with the needs and aspirations of the community members.

The Support Organisation will facilitate collaboration among various stakeholders including farmer collectives, community members, local authorities other relevant entities. By doing so the SO will assist in building local capacity, enhance sustainability of the project and ensure that the benefits of the project are equitably distributed among all members of the community.

The involvement of the support Organisation is also intended to ensure transparency, accountability and effective use of resources, ultimately leading to the success achievement of project’s goals.

Role and Responsibilities of the Support Organization: -

The Support Organizations (SO) under the proposed project would be responsible for implementation of the project at village level and will function under the guidance of State PMU and DPIU. Support Organization will provide technical support to the farmers, mobilize them to form Farmer Producers Groups (FPGs) viz. Crop FPGs, Fish FPGs and Women FPGs, launch awareness campaigns, organize farmer’s meet, carry out capacity building programs etc. SO will prepare location specific Crop / Fish Production Plan, implement crop /fish production activities as per guidelines and directions of SPMU / DPIUs. Technical interventions / activities such as seed distribution, seed production, and soil sample collection; DSR in rice, IPM, IPNM will be the SO’s main responsibility. Support Organization will also be responsible for credit linkages, farm machinery banks, custom hiring centres etc. under direction of DPIU. SO will also take up various social issues for improvement in livelihood of the project beneficiaries. For all such activities SPMU will issue technical and financial circulars / guidelines to facilitate SOs. Support Organizations will essentially adhere to the circulars and guidelines issued by SPMU. SO will place appropriate human resource to perform as per project requirement at the block levels.

SO will support IRRI and other project knowledge partners in field level implementation.
