SOUTHERN KASSALA AGR

closed

The Southern Kassala Agricultural Project addresses two key constraints to agricultural development in southern Kassala: (i) declining productivity in the face of increasing population and relative scarcity of land, and; (ii) environmental degradation. In order to resolve these constraints the project is composed of several components, including agricultural development, agricultural research, agricultural extension, increasing the availability of improved seeds and seedlings, and plant protection. To improve the project area the project will also contain environmental management, rural water supply, and rural road rehabilitation and maintenance components. Training, studies and technical assistance will be provided to support project implementation. Special emphasis will be given under the project to strengthening key provincial institutions to ensure sustainability of project activities.
