Project Characteristics and Results
Capacity - Building Component
This project is designed for largely women, persons living with disabilities, children and young people including men. Their needs and aspirations have been captured in the project activities. Women and persons living with disabilities will constitute large number of project beneficiaries and will play a lead role in the project activities implementations. Youth (men) will also constitute a sizable number of beneficiaries. Gender disaggregate data will be used in reporting to reflect results (benefits) achieved in the project implementation.
The needs of the women and persons with disabilities and other beneficiary groups are an improvement in farm yields, access to alternative livelihoods like animal rearing, shea butter soap and pomade making, restoration of degraded farm land by tree planting, tree fuel logs for cooking and feed for animals among others.
The project is therefore designed to address the needs identified above as capture in the project design and activities.
