| Title: | Tajikistan - Community-based Agricultural Support Project (CASP) - October 2023 |
| Description: |
Asomiddin Kurbanov Khojagidor is a dehkan farmer and client of the hay baling service offered by Chal Chal Village Organization. The VO identified agricultural machinery as a priority in their community development plan and received the tractor, together with a baling machine and a plough, from the project. Before, farmers like Asomiddin did not have easy access to agriculture machinery services. They normally did everything manually. Those who could afford it hired services from neighbouring villages. In either case, their cultivation and harvesting was normally delayed, resulting in losses. Everything that used to be so hard and difficult is now made easier and more efficient. Farmers’ productivity has increased. The Community-based Agriculture Support Project (CASP) stimulates inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction in rural Tajikistan. Its activities help communities and dehkan (smallholder) family farmers access productive infrastructure and services, leading to sustainable agricultural production, equitable income-generating opportunities, and improved living standards. 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. |
