Briefing on IMPACT project 220412-GH/Shiree/IDE/LLW workshop/Bandarban
Outputs Output 01: Conditional cash (CCT) given to 1,200 participant households agreeing to meet conditions related training, immunization and schooling. Output 02: New and High Potential agro- based investment options disseminated to 1200 targeted HHs Output 03: Five collection points and distribution groups are facilitated to act as marketing linkage. 220412-GH/Shiree/IDE/LLW workshop/Bandarban
Project Approach • The IMPACT project in the CHT is a multilayered innovation, that includes- • Skill development support • Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) • Facilitates in building marketing linkage 220412-GH/Shiree/IDE/LLW workshop/Bandarban
Some achievements • Year-1: Out of 200 households (HHs), 199 HHs have successfully graduated from extreme poverty. 1 HH has failed. • Year-2: Out of 1000 HHs, income of 1000 HHs have been increased who have been successful with short and mid term production. • Increased number of buyers, market information & technologies help the farmers get better price. • Increased supply chain by the inputs company (LalTeer & ACI Seeds) 220412-GH/Shiree/IDE/LLW workshop/Bandarban
Some lessons • Cluster approach (beneficiary and group) results more impact/synergy • Basic crop management practice makes important contribution in increasing the productivity of ginger and turmeric • CCT is effective when it is disbursed earlier of the production season. • The production of 1200 HHs is not enough to meet the huge demand of Agora. However, there is a greater scope to build this linkage if the project is scaled up. 220412-GH/Shiree/IDE/LLW workshop/Bandarban
Some lessons from PRASAKTI project • Increasing savings tendency through “Village Savings and Loan (VSL) system would contribute in poverty reduction • Group work through samity strengthens mutual trust, respect and solidarity. • No need to take emergency loan from the village lenders (e.g. Mahajan) with higher interest. • Individual saving has the chance to be spent but VSL system has much lesser chance. • Increasing interest for other IGAs because of having the facility to take loan support 220412-GH/Shiree/IDE/LLW workshop/Bandarban
