North-Central
Province Participatory Rural Development Project
To benefit about 125,000 people in the province, the agricultural
development project supported poor rural people’s efforts to rise
above the poverty level and improve their food security and nutrition.
IFAD loans provided funds for a wide range of activities based on
and involving participation of the individuals and communities involved.
Reducing malaria was one of the key aims of activities promoting health
and nutrition. Another was to enable poor people to generate income
through microenterprises and through improved storage and processing
of crops. The project supported rural financial services, making credit
available to rural poor people. It also emphasized community development
and resource management, with a focus on water resources.
