North-West
Rural Development Project
This project was the counterpart of the Southwest Rural Development
Project, addressing many of the same problems in a geographically
and demographically different area. The project focused on small farmers
organized into village cooperative societies (300,000 families)
and landless men and women organized into landless cooperative labour
(80,000 people). It worked to achieve the same three objectives
as the Southwest Rural Development Project.
