| Title: | Tajikistan - Community-based Agricultural Support Project (CASP) - October 2023 |
| Description: |
Nazira Boltaeva, 65 years old, lives together with her husband in Mohinav Village in the Dusti district of southwestern Tajikistan’s Khatlon Region. They are both retired, but Nazira was selected by CASP to participate in the women’s income generating group for peanut production. She is one of ten women in her group. CASP provided the women with improved seeds, fertilizer and technical guidance, as well as a mechanical sheller to crack and separate the nuts from the shells. . “We grew peanuts in the past, but the peanuts were smaller with a lower crop capacity. They also needed more time to mature. Now we have a good variety with a higher yield and the peanuts are bigger. We sell the peanuts and spend what we earn to buy the things we need.” 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. |
