The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) is delighted to announce that LAND-at-scale has recently started in Egypt, being integrated into the broader Agricultural Innovation Project (AIP phase II) implemented by GIZ Egypt, co-financed by Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. The project was developed in close collaboration with the Embassy of the Netherlands in Egypt.

 The project aims to reduce land fragmentation through participatory land use consolidation in order to increase the productivity and income of smallholder farmers, and to strengthen the institutional capacity of key institutions on land governance aspects.

Project strategies are:
✔ Assessing the suitability and applicability of various land-use consolidation tools including the development of inclusive business models;
✔ Awareness raising, mobilizing communities, and strengthening capacities at the local, governorate, and national levels;
✔ Piloting land-use consolidation models, focusing on (1) crop consolidation and private sector engagement and (2) land-use consolidation tailored for climate adaptation including demonstration plots;
✔ Facilitating learning, knowledge dissemination, and policy advocacy in collaboration with the government to enable scaling up of successful practices.
