The project is designed to benefit all land owing entities and their tenant farmers in the project catchment areas. It is also designed to promote individual benefit but with inbuilt mechanism for community and group assets building. Couples approach will be used to ensure equal benefits to men and women. In the case of unmarried persons, equal number of males and females could be considered. Schools will be enrolled to ensure knowledge transfer from older to younger generations of the community. Education, extension services involving information, education, and behavior change communication would be perused for attitudinal change and the realization of the protection and intensification of helpful practices. Individual approach to small ? scale farming and livestock keeping would be extensively worked on, to be improved, while maintaining the propitious niches inherent in the practices. .
This phase of the project will provide input support to Weto Livestock Society to produce and distribute animals to willing farmers especially those who are willing to practice organic farming, in view of the need to reduce increasing levels of agro- chemical use. The Weto Vegetation Stock Association will also be supported to produce seedlings for the promotion of agro-forestry, energy forest and small dimension timber plantations. Beneficiary farmers will include those willing to practice organic farming. The project will also use beekeeping to support conservation and organic production. All beneficiaries are expected to repay the cost of input so as to support others on the waiting list. Beneficiaries will receive education and training before inputs are supplied. Experts will be contracted to play monitoring and supervision roles for success. Beneficiaries will be assisted to operate in marketing networks. Five local institutions will be developed to play lead roles in Weto resources management.
