Community Development

Community Development is aimed at enabling rural communities to sustainably improve their incomes and livelihoods. This component consists of three complementary subcomponents; (i) social mobilization sub-component will engage the target beneficiary households and result in 40 Union council development plans (UCDPs). These plans will reflect the identified needs and priorities covering both public and private/ household interventions; (ii) the poverty graduation sub-component will focus on provision of productive assets to ultra-poor, technical and enterprise training for poor, women empowerment and youth employment promotion; and, (iii) the social and economic infrastructure sub-component will address the priorities identified through UCDPs (800 CPIs) and 40 kms of farm to market roads. The component also has specific interventions to augment climate smart agriculture and household nutrition improvements through the collaboration with Nutrition Section WFP and FAO.
