Kurzbeschreibung
(Deutsch)
Home Garden (HG) consists of growing traditional as well as improved varieties of vegetables, fruits, spices, fish and poultry around a homestead. The project is to support and strengthen capacity of Disadvantaged Groups (DAGs) especially the landless and land-poor households, to improve nutritional security through adoption of home garden technology and diversifying dietary sources in their homestead. The current 3rd phase of the project ends in Mid January 2014. An External Review of the 3rd phase was commissioned by SDC in July 2012. The review confirmed the effectiveness of the project to reach and benefit landless and land poor farm households, especially disadvantaged groups with improved nutrition through diversifying dietary sources and reduced vulnerability through sale of surplus products. The review has also highlighted achievements of the project in strengthening resilience of disadvantaged groups to climate change by strengthening bio-diversity and use of traditional, locally available low input and climate resistance input and technologies to adapt to the stress climatic condition. Development and mobilization of Local Resource Persons (LRPs) has contributed for the supply of technical input and for sustainability of the outcome of the project among the beneficiaries. In additions, the analysis of achievements of the project in the context of huge out-migration in rural communities has confirmed that the project, because of low input and less labor consuming technology, is resilient to the effect of out-migration in rural communities. However, the current geographical coverage of the project is very thin to provide demonstrative impact to a level to integrate to the GoN system for wider coverage.The review has recommended the next phase to a) increase geographical and social reach of the project through better integration of home garden into GoN agriculture development plans and other relevant livelihood programmes; b) strengthen institutional capacity of central and local government mechanisms and non-government partners to provide technical and material support for sustainable adoption of HG technology; c) continue strengthening group governance for inclusion and equitable access to benefits among different economic and social groups d) continue strengthening community based and/or private sector managed systems and mechanisms for sustainable and effective supply of inputs and services to farmers, mainly the disadvantaged groups.
