The program's impact on rural poverty was also notable, with a 15% reduction in poverty rates among participating households. The program's success can be attributed to its focus on community-led development, with local farmers and local organizations playing a key role in implementing and sustaining the program. The program's long-term sustainability is also ensured through the establishment of a community-managed irrigation system, which will continue to provide benefits to participating farmers even after the program concludes.
