Rural Development Project for the Southern Pacific Dry Region
Rural Development Project for the Southern Pacific Dry Region (PROSESUR)
The five-year programme helped reduce rural poverty in the dry region by increasing the income of poor rural families in 33 municipalities.
The programme helped the local communities promote:
- sustainable use of natural resources systems by using technology suitable to this dry region
- services to support agricultural production
- viable off-farm activities linked to agriculture among landless families
- a regional network of local non-conventional financial services for rural clients
- a community development process that helped develop local institutions and strengthened participatory and self-managed initiatives of rural poor people
