Northwestern
Province Area Development Project - Phase II
This project was the second phase of the
earlier Northwestern Province Area Development Project. In this phase
the project built on the institutional capacity and infrastructure
established during the first phase, and it was designed on the basis
of a better understanding of target group needs and how to address
them. The main objective was to assist a larger number of rural poor
people, especially subsistence-level farmers and households headed
by women, by helping raise income levels and improve food security
and nutritional levels. This was to be achieved by:
- promoting changes
in the institutional framework and building capacity to encourage
more sustainable economic development
- continuing the National
Biological Control Programme for pest control
- mobilizing community
organizations and communication development support
- promoting agricultural
development through research and agricultural extension services
and by providing farm supplies and credit
- encouraging the development
of small-scale rural enterprises
- improving road infrastructure
