Major Ongoing Programmes
Food
Security & Irrigation Project for Tribal Farmers of
Chhattisgarh
Top
The tribals of Chattisgarh are being provided
development support in project funded by Lutheran World
Relief. AFPRO is providing the socio-technical component
to grassroots partners and communities, and coordinating
the implementation. Eight NGO partners working in 6
districts of Chhattisgarh are involved in this project
which began in July 2003.
The project was designed after meetings with the
stakeholders and works towards increasing food available
for the community through soil improvement measures and
provision of water for irrigation in participatory and
sustainable manner. For this environmentally appropriate
measures of tapping water, combined with soil
conservation techniques and organic farming are being
adopted. Village level institutions are being developed
so as to produce sustainable and replicable impacts.
