| Title: | The Gambia - Participatory Integrated-Watershed Management Project (PIWAMP) - November 2009 |
| Description: |
Amie Boye, 49, 8 children, owns some rice fields near Boiram village, Gambia. "If we used to harvest five in the past, now we harvest ten. After harvesting and picking up the leftover rice, threshing, pounding and selling it, we can buy books and pens to send the children to school. Now, we don't even buy imported rice." The Participatory Integrated Watershed-Management Project (PIWAMP) targets smallholders who depend mainly on upland crops and lowland rice cultivation for their livelihoods. In the lowlands, women grow rice, cultivate vegetables, and, raise livestock. Men cultivate coarse grains, groundnuts and other crops in the uplands. |
