The Project supports the establishment of three Agro-Logistic Centres (ALCs) located with one each in the Khatlon, Sughd, and RRS regions, where horticulture production is concentrated. The basic parameters for each ALC would include: a minimum 10,000 m² of area, from 3,000 to 5,000 m² of built facilities, with enough flexibility to anticipate an expansion, a handling capacity for 5,000 to 8,000 tons of fresh and processed fruits and vegetables, (cold) storage capacity, and a multi-functional sorting, grading and packing line.
The scope of works is divided into three phases, with each phase being conditional on the Client’s approval of the preceding phase. Phase 1 consists in preparing a feasibility study and schematic design. Phase 2 consists in preparing a detailed engineering design and bidding documents. Phase 3 consists in supervising the works.

The joint donor initiative, Capacity for Nutrition (C4N), is a component of the K4N programme. C4N aims to provide support to the EC and EU Delegations (DEU) in building nutrition-related programmes and policies that are evidence-based in their formulation and implementation. Our services consist of technical advisory support to INTPA F3 and the EU Delegations in West Africa on the following topics: i) integration of nutrition into national health and agricultural policies, ii) leadership and governance of nutrition at the regional level, and iii) improved and quality data and analyses for the development and implementation of effective nutrition policies.
