    During our work within PRIME project, we made a study to detect the needs of each area of work. Then we focus on the competitive advantage of each area. To be able to success we made an assessment to all available NGOs to work with we developed 178 NGOs and Cooperatives. We established more than 80 women committee within each one we focused not only on women, but we focused also on the environment, so that, we made a kids group to develop the children in addition to men zones in these zones we made programmes to let the men support their women. Moreover, we developed 120 marketing committee that support the farmers to sell their crops and products that made about 235 contracts with total budget 3 billion EGP. 

    We supported the women, youth, smallholders and marginalized groups with the needed finance to start their projects, where more than 35000 jobs have been created, 30% of them was for women.

    Also, we focus on the technology using the Apps. and electronic field schools where one of these tools was our campaign ''right cultivation'' has reached to more than 3 million farmers and their productivity have been improved 25% of them were women and 50% were youth. This new way of extension services has a good effect on the farmers productivity where it increased by 20% within the smallholders and their profitability had increases to 23% than normal.
