Community Watershed Mangement Programme
The proponent was given a Pilot Phase SGP grant to establish a Palm Tree Nursery, but the project lacked a training component at the time. This has helped the proponent achieve its objectives in applying land and soil conservation practices in an important watershed where training and exchange of experiences would enhance the community's capacities to manage the land in their area.
