| Title: | Tajikistan - Community-based Agricultural Support Project (CASP) - October 2023 |
| Description: |
A member of the Mohinav Village Organization in the Dusti district of southwestern Tajikistan’s Khatlon Region demonstrates how quickly and efficiently the new mechanical shelling machine provided by CASP. separates peanuts (groundnuts) from the shells. The new machine greatly benefits the women's income generating group for peanut production, saving them countless hours of shelling. The Village Organization has plans to use income generated from agricultural machinery services to help the women even more by introducing branded packaging and establishing market links to boost their sales and income generation. 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. |
