The main objectives of this six-year IFAD-initiated project are to improve the food security and incomes of target group farmers through stoping soil degradation and restoring soil fertility, thus allowing for sustainable use of land and water resources. The project specifically seeks to:
- Provide technical and financial support to the target groups to adopt soil and water conservation measures and improve agricultural production;
- Promote and fund credit for on- and off-farm enterprises; and
- Strengthen the capacity of the agricultural directorates in the project area to provide the required technical support services and extension.
