Description

The community organizations have built bridges, irrigation channels and other small infrastructure projects at much lower costs as they participated in the supply of labour and land parcels for these projects . The incentive structure made them realize that this would lead to the doubling of their farm incomes The improved marketing of produce through better roads and bridges contributed to accretion in farm incomes and increased food security. These community organizations have also been able to improve social indicators such as school enrollment, student retention, nutrition, water supply and sanitation which look relatively better than other provinces in Pakistan . Other development partners such as the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation fund (PPAF), also stepped in and provided finances and training to the farmers, and micro loans to small farmers and small businesses.
