Agropastoral Value Chains Project in the Governorate of Médenine (PRODEFIL)

General

The project aims to improve the living conditions for 15,040 vulnerable rural households in the governorate of Medenine and to create new opportunities for employment by strengthening the resilience of agro-pastoral production systems. To that end, the project seeks to help public and private actors manage and develop local agro-pastoral value chains, including those for camelids and small ruminants. On land and natural resource governance, the project intends to strengthen rangeland management organizations, mostly through the capacity building of Agricultural Development Groups (GDAs). Furthermore it aims to improve natural ecosystems through the development of three participatory rangeland management plans. It also will undertake a study to create an inventory of water points.
