| Title: | Tajikistan - Community-based Agricultural Support Project (CASP) - October 2023 |
| Description: |
Shuhrat Kasimov is employed as a shepherd by two women’s income generating groups (WIGG) for sheep breeding created by the CASP project in Ghazantarak Village located in Devashtich District in northern Tajikistan’s Sugd Region. The two groups of 15 members each, received a total of 90 sheep (80 female, 10 male). Each woman received three sheep. From May to October, the women individually pay Shuhrat 30 somoni (US$3) per head per month to take the sheep to pasture for grazing. 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. |
