SMALLHOLDER FARMERS MARKETING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SF-MAP)
Our attempt to improve the livelihoods of the community at the household level, we hold community level market days and field days which gives farmers an opportunity to showcase their produce and sell locally.
VALUE ADDITION
This program is a component of income generating activities by increasing shelf life of farm produce which increases the price in the market. This increases income at household levels hence livelihoods improvement.
WATER HARVESTING TECHNIQUES
In solving change of weather patterns problem, COSDEP has curbed this gap by installing water pans and solar panels to the farmers for continuous farming. This is because most farmers depend on rain fed agriculture which prevents them from farming during dry spell seasons.
