Call for EOIs: Selection of a Cooperating partner for the Implementation of the PIP Approach (Burundi)
Deadline : 21-Mar-2026
The World Food Programme (WFP) is implementing a sustainable agriculture project in Burundi to boost rural household incomes, improve food security, and strengthen climate resilience. Through the Integrated Production Plan (PIP), 35,000 households will adopt nutrition-sensitive farming practices, access markets, and enhance farm productivity. The initiative targets behavioral transformation, long-term resilience, and sustainable agricultural systems in key provinces.
Overview
The WFP is calling for applications to participate in a transformative initiative aimed at improving family farming across rural Burundi. This program focuses on four core objectives:
Enhancing agricultural productivity
Strengthening climate resilience
Improving nutritional security
Increasing household incomes
The project integrates community-based strategies to build resilience while promoting sustainable and nutrition-sensitive farming practices.
Key Features of the Program
Integrated Production Plan (PIP)
A central component of the initiative is the Integrated Production Plan (PIP) , a participatory tool designed to empower farmers. Key benefits include:
Enabling households to define a clear development vision
Facilitating integrated farm management practices
Promoting climate-resilient and nutritious agricultural techniques
Strengthening adaptability to climate-related shocks
The PIP is intended to reach 35,000 beneficiary households , providing them with practical tools to enhance productivity while fostering sustainability.
Market Access and Income Opportunities
The program also emphasizes structured market access through the PATSAB project . Farmers receive support to:
Commercialize surplus production
Connect with local and regional markets
Increase household income while maintaining sustainable practices
This market-oriented approach ensures that productivity gains translate directly into economic benefits.
Geographic Focus
The project targets the rural provinces of:
Cibitoke
Bubanza
Bujumbura Mairie
These areas are prioritized for their high dependence on family farming and vulnerability to climate-related challenges.
Who is Eligible?
Eligibility criteria for households and farmers include:
Residing in one of the target provinces
Practicing small-scale or family farming
Demonstrating commitment to adopting climate-resilient and nutrition-sensitive practices
Willingness to participate in PIP planning and training sessions
Why This Matters
Sustainable transformation in family farming addresses critical challenges:
Reduces food insecurity in vulnerable rural households
Enhances resilience against climate shocks and environmental degradation
Improves nutritional outcomes for families
Boosts local economies through increased agricultural productivity and market integration
By linking production with income generation and sustainability, the program supports long-term community development.
