Project Characteristics and Results
Notable Community Participation
The taro patch owners of Ngerbeched had been voicing their need for clear pathways and water pathways to their taro patches; that is was becoming difficult to access their taro patches and water to the taro patches was dwindling down. The fact that the Project is a result of community request and community needs will only strengthen community support and ownership.
