Upper East Region Land Conservation and Smallholder Rehabilitation Project-Phase II
The project builds on Phase I. It is designed to reduce rural poverty
in a drought-prone area by empowering rural poor people to increase
and stabilize their incomes while protecting the environment. It
helps them improve their living conditions through the development
of social infrastructures.
The second phase of the project focuses on:
- building capacity of key district and subdistrict-level service
providers in the use of demand-driven participatory approaches
- continuing development of irrigation through construction of
small dams and sinking of hand-dug wells
- boosting productivity through training of farmers and demonstrations
of new technologies
- installing rural infrastructure to lighten women's burden and
mitigate the health and environmental risks attached to small dams,
such as malaria and water contamination
The project's components include:
- developing crop and small ruminant production and fish farming
- capacity-building both of support staff and of village women
and men
- improving rural infrastructure and road communications
- supporting income-generating activities through credit and training
- improving management and organization
