| Title: | Tajikistan - Community-based Agricultural Support Project (CASP) - October 2023 |
| Description: |
Chal Chal Village, Norak District, in central Tajikistan, is located along the banks of the Vakhsh River – yet, until recently, most households in the village did not have access to running water at their homes. The Village Organization prioritized access to running water in their community development plan and with the help of CASP, delivered it to 170 households in 2020. In the past, those households did not have easy access to clean drinking water or water for irrigation. Now, they have both, and they are very happy. Household plots are now verdant and vegetables and fruit trees growing. With the money the VO is earning from agricultural machinery services, they are saving to install running water for an additional 30 households in a newly constructed part of the village. 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. |
