GT1069-Finance Area 2017 Annual Report

The training programs emphasized the importance of crop rotation, composting, and irrigation management to improve soil fertility and reduce water usage. The initiative's focus on women-headed households was aimed at promoting gender equality and improving food security in these vulnerable households. The evaluation also highlighted the importance of market linkage facilitation in increasing farmers' access to markets and improving their bargaining power. The initiative's success was attributed to the collaborative efforts of local government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and community groups. The program's impact was sustained through the establishment of a community-led agricultural development committee, which continued to provide training and support to farmers after the program's completion. The committee's efforts ensured the long-term sustainability of the initiative's gains and paved the way for further agricultural development in the region.
