FATA Economic Stabilization Program (ESP)

The Economic Stabilization Program (ESP) will be a four-year, multimillion dollar project to create jobs and improve economic opportunities in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) by improving the productivity of farmers and livestock holders and expanding micro and small enterprises. The ESP takes a comprehensive approach. On-farm, it will improve farmers’ skills and access to high quality inputs, and increase the agricultural resource base. Off-farm, it will support establishment of micro and small enterprises, strengthen supply chains, rehabilitate and strengthen market infrastructure, and help develop local business/trade associations.
