The initiative's geographic focus was on Eastern Province, where soil degradation and limited market access were identified as primary challenges. The program's implementation was carried out in collaboration with local government agencies, NGOs, and private sector partners. The initiative's timeframes were from 2018 to 2022, with a midterm evaluation conducted in 2020. The program's recommendations included scaling up the training programs, improving the quality of infrastructure development, and enhancing market linkage facilitation to support smallholder farmers. The program's impact was evaluated using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including surveys, focus group discussions, and yield monitoring. The results showed significant improvements in crop yields, household income, and food security indicators among program participants. The initiative's success was attributed to the effective integration of training, infrastructure, and market support, which enabled farmers to adopt sustainable practices and increase their productivity.
