Project description

The project aims to build the resilience of smallholder farmers through the promotion and scaling of resilient agricultural practices, solar-powered pumping for irrigation and drinking, as well as the agricultural product market facilities in both Cambodia and MyanmarThe project comprises two overarching thematic components. 1: Increased smallholder farm productivity through adoption of innovative agricultural practices and an improved value chain. 2: Increased adoption and utilization of solar water pumping for irrigation in the agriculture sector.Each country presents its own set of outputs and activities under two shared thematic outcomes that are suitable and tailored to their own specific contexts, needs and barriers.
