& infrastructures

Control
&monitoring
Cooperative
life
Education
& training
- Water tank or water well
- Convenient toilets per household
- Farm roads: paved
Farming or non-farming
income activities (livestock
project, creation of SME in
honey, dairy production…)
Control of the performance
(quality and quantity)
of the production
- Primary schools to high school per
village
- Agriculture training for farmers
Creation of town hall,
warehouse, workshop

10. EXPECTED OUTCOMES
1) Self-help or self-reliant
villages: villages having
meaningful outcomes in
their communities and
their livelihoofd
2) Income generating activities:
- People have jobs
- Members have equal
chances
- Activities are not

convenient roads (summer
season!)
And infrastructures: water well
or water tank, paved road,
livestock project, enterprises
projects (milk, honey, eggs…)
4) Reinforcement of skills and
promotion of education for
villagers and next generation
