III – OBJECTIVES

The overall objective of LACOSREP II is to empower rural populations living in poverty to use the opportunities provided by the project to: (i) access improved technology, services and credit in order to increase and stabilize their farm incomes through irrigation, improved technology, and IGAs; and (ii) to develop their social infrastructure to improve their living conditions and environment. The project will also need to strengthen the capacity of LACOSREP staff and stakeholders to integrate gender aspects into their work.

Specific objectives will be to:

(i) build the capacity of key formal and informal institutions that provide technical and social services to use
demand-driven participatory approaches at the district and subdistrict levels;

(ii) further develop irrigation in the UER;

(iii) increase productivity through farmer training and demonstrations of new technologies for increasing productivity of crops, livestock and fish; and

(iv) construct rural infrastructure to reduce the female labour burden and take measures to mitigate the possible risks of negative health and environmental impacts.
