Abstract
The initiative also focused on improving water management practices, with a 25% reduction in water usage among participating farmers. Additionally, the program established partnerships with local businesses to increase market access for small-scale farmers. These partnerships resulted in a 15% increase in sales revenue for participating farmers. The geographic focus of the initiative was primarily on the Levant region, with a specific emphasis on the Syrian and Lebanese borders. The program's timeframes spanned from 2018 to 2022, with a total budget of $10 million allocated for the initiative. Recommendations from the program's findings included the need for continued investment in agricultural infrastructure and the expansion of market linkage facilitation services to reach more small-scale farmers.
