Central Highlands Agricultural Development Project - IFAD
Central Highlands Agricultural Development Project
The project was modelled on the successful 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.
