Odiding Community Development

This project managed by PAG North Teso is aimed at improving local farming skills, knowledge of climate smart agricultural practices and farming as a family business, with the overall aim of improving food security in households through increased production levels as well as increased income levels from farming production and participation in VSLA activities. The project is based on a highly successful model completed with the community in Apopong Village in Kapelebyong also in northern Teso. Communities learn about livestock husbandry, farming as a business, cultivating kitchen gardens and climate smart and good agronomic practices such as intercropping, mulching and tree planting. Village Savings and Loans Groups are also set up in the communities. The project in Odiding has 312 direct beneficiaries and is currently in the second year of a three year project.
