Eastern
Regional Agricultural Development Project
The project built on the successful Agricultural
Support Services Project and worked to reduce poverty and promote
agricultural development in the Eastern Region. The target group consisted
of some of the poorest people in the country, including poor farming
households cultivating less than 1 ha per family, nomadic herders
and rural women in general.
The project’s objectives included:
- strengthening cooperatives
by improving their management and making them more effective
- making maximum use
of resources to help small farmers increase the productivity of
their land and livestock
- improving irrigation
practices to increase water supplies and bring fallow land under
production
- providing credit for
the purchase of farm inputs
- strengthening extension
and animal health services
