Summary

GRASP is a six-year project (2019-2024) funded by European Union which has been designed to reduce poverty in Pakistan by strengthening small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and small-scale agri-businesses in the provinces of Balochistan and Sindh. The project will help SMEs in horticulture and livestock sectors to become more competitive, inclusive, and climate resilient by making improvements at all levels of value chain. Taraqee Foundation is implementing GRASP programme in six districts; Quetta, Pishin, Nushki, Kharan, Musakahil & Zhob with the financial support of PPAF and technical support of Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and International Trade Center (ITC).

The program focuses on development of targeted SMEs clusters by fostering value addition along with the whole supply chain. The increased integration of small producers into supply chains will lead to enhanced income generating opportunities for the SMEs.
