CIfD will raise the awareness of male and female on gender transformative programme and approach bringing into play the concept of gender norms and masculinity and have better understanding of how gender dynamics influence lives of individuals and communities. Women are seriously affected by the deforestation in shortage of fuel wood that are used in the preparation of family meals and are also engage in the production of crops. Land degradation pose a serious threat to women who are engage in crop production hence faced with the problem of infertile soils that leads to low yields and engaging the women. Engaging the men will support the effort of their female counterparts in the mitigation of land degradation and a way of helping those men whose livelihoods depend on the natural resource base of their environment.

The national policy that will be influenced is the National Land Policy. This project will advocate for access to land by women for their vegetable production, thus all barriers of land acquisition by women will be removed in the process. Also the Policy of Conservation and the National Biodiversity Action Plan will be influenced by the project.

The organization has experienced staff and logistics capacity to manage and implementation the project. However capacity building will be required for the newly formed farmers based organization at the community level in the following areas: Proposal Development ,monitoring and evaluation and financial management to strengthen their organization.

The project will share resources, expertise and successes of the project. The inputs given to the beneficiaries will be in a recovery bases ie if seeds inputs are given to the beneficiaries which they are to pay back in kind. The linkages so far created with the line ministries and departments in forming the communities into groups or farmer-based organizations (FBO's) will lead to them working as a team and in the absence of one individual or persons activities will continue. Because of the achievements made which lead to economic growth of the beneficiaries and provision of alternative livelihoods.

There is no indigenous People in the project area. All the communities have rural populations that are purely Temne which is one of the two largest tribes in Sierra leone.

This can be done by using PowerPoint presentation to show all activities. CIfD will invite all stakeholders and communities in recognition of all what people have contributed to the project. Contributions here can be resources such as land and labour that has been given to the project which are valuable for the success of the project. In recognition to these contributions will be a motivation for stakeholders to do more in replication of the project especially where success stories have been achieved. Also beneficiaries who have been empowered through trainings and demonstrations in the fields by them participating in the project from start to finish are called upon to a meeting in order for them to take a look at the project so far implemented and plan for further community development projects of the same nature in the future and for them to replicate what they have learnt. The meeting will also pave the way for reflection on those problems experienced during the implementation of the project for both beneficiaries and stakeholders. This also will help beneficiaries and community stakeholders to improve on those problems in the future. The meeting will facilitate shared learning among beneficiaries and stakeholders of the project and others such as the community, local authorities, donors and other agencies. CIfD approach to shared learning will be by holding of a community meeting, writing of a newspaper article or news letter containing case study to share learning with others in the project area or agencies. CIfD will present papers which will contain the title, objectives, Target beneficiaries, duration of the project, budget, activities, location, collaboration, success stories and the challenges at sector meetings. News letters will be developed and distributed to donors, stakeholders and beneficiaries. In the preparation of the news letter consultations will be done with the stakeholders and the beneficiaries to be informed of what to be included in the news letter to demonstrate transparency. CIfD is mindful of the fact that there is strong barrier in communication which is the language to use in the passing on information so therefore base on the different audiences? different languages will be used in the dissemination of information. Exchange of learning which is very key in development will form part of the strategies to be employed by CIfD. Communities and schools will be allowed to visit other communities especially those that have made gains in terms of success stories to see and compare the works of others and their strategies used in the accomplishment of their projects. Workshops and trainings will be conducted by CIfD to facilitate learning of the new innovations and methodology in the implementation of the project for stakeholders and beneficiaries. This will help in the acquisition of knowledge by all beneficiaries in building their capacities gearing towards replicating what has been learnt in future programmes or projects.
