Disbursement has increased from 14% to 34.77% and all the management agreements for implementation have been fianlized. The reduction in the number of cases of EVD in January 2015 also increased the tempo of field activities of the STCRSP. The Cocoa/Coffee operator was able to map out 1,991.53 ha for immediate implementation. Rehabilitation has started on these farms and output is expected to be impacted starting from this harvest season. Already, 1,193 farmers have been identified as beneficiaries, out of which 118 farmers are coffee farmers while 1075 are Cocoa farmers. 30% of these beneficiaries are women and all the farms are geo-referenced. This effort is to ensure that progress of activities on farmers' farm can be monitored on Google map via internet. The training and capacity building activities have been rolled out to strengthen the farmers group. The PCU is closely monitoring the progress of this intervention in the target counties ( Bong, Nimba and Grand Gedeh). The project has finalized arrangements to work on its out growers scheme with major Concessions/Operators for Rubber and Oil palm. MARCO has signed its management contract and the out grower farmers have already been identified. The Afriland bank, acting as PFI under the scheme is carrying out assessment of credit worthiness of farmers which will be completed by June ending. Plans are therefore concluded to strat planting Rubber stumps this season. The Concessionnaire Salala Rubber Corporation(SRC) that declined to work with the project because of Ebola and falling prices of Rubber has agreed to come back to the project after intervention of a Senator. The SRC will work with the Rubber farmers on an out grower scheme in Margibi county. Proposals have been sent to the company and it has selected a sub-project unit to manage the outgrower scheme in collaboration with Ministry of Agriculture (MoA). VOSIEDA was selected to technically support the Cooperative farmers to manage the Dube plantation in Grand Gedeh and the initial farm assessment has started on the farm. With the mapping of the farm and the assessment being carried out by the PFI, planting of new Oil palm seedlings will start by September/ October this year. The EPO- LIBINCO was the main Concessionaire for the out growers scheme in Grand Bassa county. It has worked with the PCU to identify farmers farms and efforts are being made to finalize its contract so that planting of Oil palm seedlings and technical support can start during this planting season. The Safeguard manager of the project in collaboration with the Environmental protection Agency (EPA) was able to conduct environmental and social assessment of all the farm sites to ensure that adequate care is taken of all safeguard issues. The project is on course to achieve its PDO and has improved on disbursement from 14% at December to 34.77% in June.The project plans to carry out a mission between June 16-26, 2015 and will update the ISR with further developments on the project.
