Botswana - The Arable Lands Development project phase 1

The proposed project would improve the socio-economic status of small scale farmers and the non farming rural poor by supporting the process of community mobilisation and promoting the development of more effective agricultural services, including technology generation (applied research) and transfer (extension); input supply and marketing; credit; and farm and off-farm investments. In essence, the agricultural activities of the project would continue where ALDEP I left off - but with much greater emphasis on technology transfer and skill training.
