Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA)

This program responds to these complex and urgent challenges and will be implemented as part of the Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) to deliver a rapid and coordinated response to the effects of global supply chain distortions and their implications for smallholder farming households and poor consumers in Nepal.

The program has two major development objectives:

• USAID /Nepal and development partners’ ability to respond to agrifood systems crises improved through data-driven insights and strategic guidance.
• Smallholder farmers’ resilience to economic shocks and climate change improved through sustainable and inclusive irrigation development.
