2. Project Objectives

The proposed COOPERAR II project would support the Government of Paraiba's efforts to reduce the incidence of rural poverty, addressing both its income and non-income dimensions, by: (a) improving access to small-scale socio-economic infrastructure and services: (b) raising incomes and capital assets through investments in productive activities and facilitating linkages between small producers and national and international markets; and (c) strengthening the capacity of Municipal Councils (MC) and Community Associations (CA) to raise funding and harmonize policies and institutional arrangements for the delivery of public investments intended to benefit the rural poor.
