Watershed Initiative Takes Flight!

The Watershed Initiative has begun!

To increase agricultural productivity, the project focused on providing management and material support to agro-supply stores or Boutiques d’Intrants Agricole, training farmers on best practices for production of target crops at the initiative’s regional sustainable rural development centers, and rehabilitation and maintenance of irrigation and drainage systems.

To improve watershed stability, the project protected selected hillsides through promotion of sustainable hillside agriculture techniques, improving watershed governance in coordination with local authorities through development and implementation of a watershed management plan and flood warning systems, and supporting agro-forestry campaigns to increase tree coverage.

To strengthen agricultural markets, the initiative built and rehabilitated key farm-to-market feeder roads, increasing collaboration between producers and private associations, moving mango market norms and standards toward international standards, reducing post-harvest losses through training to farmers and building post-harvest facilities, and rehabilitating rural markets and vendor organizations.
