SETTIT HUMERA AG DEV

closed

The proposed project aims at assisting farmers in the Humera region and promoting further development by: (1) cutting transport costs by constructing 120 km of all-weather road and bridging the Tekkezi River; (2) providing water supply for the township of Humera; and (3) establishing a demonstration farm. Other needed improvements such as extension and marketing service, credit, land registration and further infrastructural improvements to assist the development of about 320,000 ha of additional cultivable land, would have to wait until further studies are completed. The proposed project includes financing for these studies which are expected to provide the basis for a second phase agricultural project.
