They were received by a team from CARLEP and the Programme Directors of both ARDC and CARLEP.  The mission from IFAD was comprised of two teams, one was MAGIP PCR Validation Mission and other was CARLEP Supervision Mission. They had four members in each team.  MAGIP is Market Access and Growth Intensification Project that served the six Eastern Dzongkhags of the country for the last five years which is now followed-up by a new project called CARLEP. CARLEP is Commercial Agriculture and Resilient Livelihoods Enhancement Programme. It was launched in March this year and it’s a seven years Programme. CARLEP will also cater to the same six Dzongkhags at its initial phase. Both MAGIP and CARLEP are financed by IFAD. IFAD has been in Bhutan for the last 35 years, financing to over eight consecutive projects. Th
