| dc.description | Agriculture and livestock account for 97 percent of livelihoods in the newly merged districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Most farmers in these areas are small landholders engaged in crop production at subsistence level. Despite favourable agro climatic conditions, development is hindered by poor post harvest management practices, lack of storage and transport facilities, and limited access to markets. The prolonged conflicts of the past decade have caused extensive damage to the agriculture sector, while the destruction of market infrastructure has disrupted local supply chains and links with external markets. The abandonment of cropland, depleting food stocks and lack of productive resources to resume livelihood support activities, the loss of productive assets, degraded lands, limited access to finance and diminishing coping mechanisms all threaten the food security of the local population. The project was, therefore, designed to focus on issues of food security and sustainable livelihoods, with an emphasis on enterprise development. | |
