Poverty Reduction Project in Aftout South and Karakoro - Phase II (PASK II)

General

The project aims to improve incomes and living conditions for 21,000 households in the areas of Aftout South and Karakoro. The specific objective is to help build an economic and social fabric based on sustainable natural resource management that is inclusive of poor rural households, particularly women and young people. Land and natural resource governance related interventions include land agreements to guarantee equitable access to land which will be indispensable for any irrigation scheme and the adoption of an integrated watershed management approach. Land Tenure Arrangements, both large scale or on smaller areas, help stabilize use rights, to make them more fair and accessible for the target population.
