Southern Uplands Rural Development Project – Phase II. The project
area included ten districts in the Dhamar and Sana’a governorates.
Activities provided for:
- construction of extension centres, block centres and housing for
block centre staff
- equipment and staff for the extension centres
- technical assistance for training
- inputs and equipment for training extension agents and farmers
- 15 water supply schemes
- technical assistance to strengthen project administration and
expand the irrigated area
The project had a positive
impact on agricultural production. It was successful in enlisting
the assistance of Local Councils for Cooperation Development in implementing
its rural women’s programme.
