Small Farmer Agricultural Credit Project

Small Farmer Agricultural Credit Project

This project constituted one of the first concentrated efforts to improve a specific, vulnerable population's ability to work themselves out of poverty by providing supervised credit and by supporting rehabilitation of important infrastructure. The target population consisted mainly of farmers with small holdings of very poor quality land, and small pond owners. The project increased crop and fish production among 70,000 small farmers and 3,000 pond owners.
