This project was designed to increase smallholder farmers' productivity and income by extending agricultural services to lower Bong County and part of the adjacent Gibi Territory.
Project components included:
- Supplying agricultural inputs to improve production of upland and swamp rice, cassava, other food crops, as well as coffee production
- Expanding and improving agricultural extension services and training.
