Smallholder Credit, Input Supply and Marketing Project

The project's goal was to help farmers achieve better food security by increasing production and managing their surpluses better. The project helped build access tracks and storage and processing facilities. Some 60 per cent of the beneficiaries were women. The project increased participants' food security and their ability to lead and sustain their own development. It strengthened farmers' organizations and enhanced participants' ability to use savings and manage credit. The project also supported improvements in food processing, storage and marketing.
