The Second Lofa County Agricultural Development Project for Liberia will include: the supply of agricultural inputs, such as fertilizers, on credit; extension services; improvements in an agricultural produce marketing corporation and in the operations of agricultural cooperatives; construction of feeder roads, farm access tracks, farmer subcenters, and village wells and latrines; schistosomiasis surveillance services; as well as monitoring and evaluation and technical assistance. Up to 8,000 farm families are expected to benefit directly from this project, bringing the total number of families who would benefit from both phases to about 16,000; such families would earn significantly higher incomes. Improvement in agricultural services, roads and wells introduced under both phases would benefit more than 60 percent of the rural families in the region.
