Lack of access to improved crop technologies, marginal environments, and limited water availability allow farmers to have only one growing season.
• Introduced “Double Cropping, Dual Income” strategy
• Seed, Soil, Water-Management Interventions
• Public-Private Partnerships for Market Access

Farmers in rural regions
lacked access to quality seed
and fertilizer
✓ Engaged private sector
✓ Trained community-based
sales agents
✓ Delivered more than 260
metric tons of quality
inputs to the last mile

Daily Income of Maize Varieties During One and Two Seasons and Combined with Dry Season Crops
Poverty Line $1.25/day
Double Cropping, Dual Income Outcomes
❖ 2.3 million liters of water-savings per 2.5 hectare
❖ 550 farmers increased their income by 35% in one season

Farmers are now practicing
key measures of resilience:
• Climate-smart agricultural practices
• Joint decision making
• Access to savings
• Diversify income
➢ More than 60% of project
beneficiaries are female
➢ 37% of project
beneficiaries are male
