| Description: |
Ahad Khushvakhtov is an activte member of the Shahrinav Village Organization, Shahrinav village of Dusti district, Jaihun District. He is walking through the household compound of Zulaykho Nabotova, the leader of one of the two poultry production women’s income-generating groups (WIGG) that the CASP established in Shahrinav Village. The CASP provided 160 turkeys and 2 incubators to help 16 women from low-income families establish two women’s income-generating groups (WIGG) for poultry production. During its first year of activity, the group produced 1,350 chicks, 100 ducklings and 1,050 turkey chicks, which provided the women with additional household income and improved nutrition. The Community-based Agricultural Support Project (CASP) is building on the significant achievements of the earlier Livestock and Pasture Development Project to stimulate inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction in rural Tajikistan. Since 2018, the CASP has provided benefits to more than 51,000 households in 177 rural villages in Khatlon Oblast, Soghd and Republican Subordination Regions. Its activities are helping communities and smallholder (dehkan) farmers access productive infrastructure and services, leading to sustainable agricultural production, equitable income-generating opportunities and improved living standards. The CASP works with Village Organizations (VOs) to develop community-driven action plans that define their own improvement initiatives. Village-level participation in decision making is critical to the success of these plans and helps establish a sense of community ownership and cohesion. |
