1.0 PURPOSE, BACKGROUND AND ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

1.1. Purpose and Background

The purpose of Amendment 2 to the IEE for the Commercial Horticulture and Agricultural Marketing Program (CHAMP) is to:

1. Extend the end date of the project from December 30, 2014 to December 30, 2015 ; 2. Increase Life of Project (LOP) funds in the amount of $5,313,500 from $40,320,241 to

$45,633, 741. 3. Shift emphasis in activities from production to post-harvest handling and marketing

activities and to provide a Table of Recommend Threshold Decisions. 4. Document a project name change from Commercial Orchard and Vineyard Trellising

(COVT) program to CHAMP.

There are no other changes except what is stated above. All conditions, limitations and the stipulation for revisions established in the original IEE and Amendment 1 remain in force throughout the LOP.

1.2. Activity Description

CHAMP began in February 2010 and was originally slated to end in January 2014. In June 2012, however, the program's Cooperative Agreement was extended until December 2014 to focus resources and activities on a value chain approach that emphasizes post-harvest handling and marketing activities (NOTE: this was not reflected in IEE Amendment 1 that was approved on 113012012). Previously, CHAMP worked mainly with establishing new vineyards and introducing trelising techniques. Under the new approach, CHAMP is carrying out activities throughout five main value chains (grapes, almonds, pomegranates, apricots and apples) and one sub-value chain (melons). The program focuses on improving horticultural and marketing practices to produce high-quality fruit for high-value markets. CHAMP's value chain approach seeks to sustainably commercialize Afghanistan's traditionally marketed high value crops.

The proposed expansion of the program is to focus on post-harvest handling, marketing of grapes, orchard crops, and other high-value crops under production. Ramping up the post­harvest handling and marketing component will allow more time for building the trust essential to lasting business relationships, addressing constraints in the policy and enabling environment, and ensuring sustainable local and export outlets with the relevant infrastructure, e.g. cool storage for commercially viable businesses. The program is divided into threemain components and activities:

1) Component 1. Quality Improvement

The CHAMP approach to quality improvement is to assist farmers to produce higher quality produce, obtain higher volumes and generate higher incomes. The program has helped producers become more competitive in the international market place. Also, by producing a higher quality and volume of product, Afghan farmers and traders can properly store and package their product for international and domestic markets. Illustrative activities:

a) Training in improved practices. CHAMP will use the Farmer Field School (FFS) approach to enhance the capacity of farmers on high quality fruit production and these farmers will link with potential buyers nationwide. Farmers will be trained in pre-harvest management (fertilizer application, irrigation, pruning, dormant spray, fruit thinning, and IPM) and post-harvest management (picking, sorting, grading, packing and storage management).

b) Training in marketing skills. During the FFS, farmers will be trained in how to market their produce, how to grade and sort products in different categories of quality, how to link with buyers and negotiate the best price for their products.

c) Inputs procurement. All farm supplies, fertilizers, chemicals, and pre and post-harvest supplies will be obtained through the assistance of the CHAMP program from local vendors.

2

2) Component 2. High Value Marketing

The program will assist traders by providing timely market information, forging market linkages by holding B2B meetings, improving the quality of product processing and packaging according to different market demands, as well as by overseeing the complete logistical operations from farm to market. Illustrative activities:

a) Identifying new markets in Russia, India, Pakistan, UAE and Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf countries

b) Collecting updated market information from existing markets and identifying new higher paying markets for Afghan fresh and dried fruit through the use of market assessment trips.

c) Training in improved packhouse management. This will focus on training farmers how best to process their products in packing houses prior to distribution to the market, how to grade and sort base on quality and size, protect produce from infestation, wrap and pack into boxes with logos, etc.

d) Packhouse refurbishment. This may include repair of roofs, painting of walls, electrical rewiring, establishing proper ventilation, etc.

e) Agribusiness Development. developing business plans, identifying capable partners, finding financing sources and other service providers, organizing production, and covering a percentage of operation or equipment costs to incentivize participation.

3) Component 3: Gender Integration.

The main objective of this program is to decrease the loss for apricot producers and create good job opportunities for women so that they may increase their household income and attain a better standard of living. Illustrative activities:

a) Training in apricot drying techniques. CHAMP will conduct training on improved apricot sulfur drying for 800 beneficiaries in Parwan, Wardak, Bamiyan, and Kabul provinces. This will assist farmers during the apricot season when they cannot sell all of their apricots at a good price because the market is saturated with fresh product. Sulfur drying is an improvement over the traditional method of apricot drying in that it prevents losses, generates a higher profit for producers and provides an excellent opportunity for women's participation.

Annex I

[Project Name]

Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (EMMP)

The EMMP must be completed by each organization carrying out activities under the USAID/Afghanistan XXX Program. It will include the organization' s own report plus the EMMPs of any sub-awardees, to capture the entire range of activities funded by the USAID/Afghanistan XXXX Program under the award. The USAID/ Afghanistan XXXX Program, implementing partners are

responsible for ensuring that each sub-awardee completes and submits the EMMP to the prime in a timely fashion. The EMMPs are reviewed and approved by the COR/AOR and the Mission Environmental

Officer.

The EMMP consists of 3 parts:

1. The Environmental Verification Form 2. The Mitigation Plan for specific environmental threats carried out by the implementer 3. The Reporting Form

The EMMP Environmental Verification Form

This form indicates the categories of activities carried out by implementing partners (or their sub­awardees) and serves to ' trigger' USAID expectations of mitigation measures.

The EMMP Mitigation Plan

Implementing partners will use the Mitigation Plan to describe the specific actions they will undertake under each category of activity when screening reveals potential environmental threats as outlined in Section 3 of this IEE. In these cases, mitigation will be undertaken as described in Section 5, Table 4 of this IEE. The Mitigation Plan also identifies the person responsible for monitoring compliance with

mitigation and the indicator, method and frequency of monitoring.

The EMMP Reporting Form

This form reports on the results of applying the mitigation measures described in the Mitigation Plan and identifies outstanding issues with respect to required conditions. In some cases, digital photos will be the

best way to document mitigation and should be included in the report.
