| Summary: | Productive matching grants schemes are
an important tool to modernize agricultural production. The
World Bank has been supporting countries at the European
Union (EU) pre-accession stage to increase their capacity
and ability to administer grants according to the EU
Pre-Accession Assistance for Rural Development (IPARD)
principles and guidelines. Given its experience with
matching grants and gender-inclusive approaches in
productive investments in agriculture, the World Bank has
the ability to provide guidance to sector institutions on
how to make their grant targeting and selection processes
more inclusive of women farmers beyond current selection
criteria. This policy brief is based on the 2020 assessment
Gender inclusion in productive investments in the Western
Balkans, which analyzed World Bank-supported projects in
Kosovo, Albania and Montenegro that focused on building
farmer and institutional capacity for European Union
pre-accession supported productive grants. |
