Intervention Logic: The modernization of the cotton sector will free up space and resources for other crops and 

livestock opportunities to emerge and expand. The CPF will support the diversification dimension of the agriculture 

modernization program through interventions aimed at strengthening value chains in horticulture, diversified crop 

and livestock productions. Developing value chains from production to marketing will rely on market-led and

privately-managed initiatives. Promoting diversification will include supporting diversified production through 

demand-driven and market-oriented research and extension, efficient irrigation infrastructure, improved access to 

finance, and reliable access to marketing infrastructure and agro-processing businesses.  

 

WBG will also provide support to strengthening water resources management, including the management of 

transboundary water resources. WBG will strengthen capacities, support data monitoring and invest in the 

modernization of water information platforms. Strengthening water resources management aims to improve public 

water service delivery to ensure that sufficient water of adequate quality is made available to those sectors that 

depend on it: agriculture, water supply, environment, industry and energy.
