Abstract
The initiative's geographic focus was on Eastern Province, where soil degradation and limited market access were most pronounced. The program's timeframes were set for a three-year period, with the first year dedicated to training and infrastructure development. The second and third years focused on market linkage facilitation and monitoring and evaluation. Implementation details for the program included the establishment of demonstration plots, farmer training programs, and infrastructure development. The program also facilitated market linkage by connecting farmers to buyers and providing market information. The initiative's recommendations included the need for continued investment in infrastructure development and market linkage facilitation to sustain the program's gains.
