The Food Security Capacity Enhancement Programme built the capacity of decentralized government structures in order to respond effectively to local needs and to strengthen the ability of local communities to manage their own development initiatives.
Key impacts of the program were:
- the strenghtening of local partners’ capacity to implement Productive Safety Net Programmes
- the improvment of agricultural productivity, the diversification and the increase of incomes from on-farm and off-farm activities
- the development of local social protection mechanisms and best-practices in food security programming.
