This Impact Report lists the achievements made under the "Promoting self-reliant livelihoods through employment and micro-entrepreneurship" project funded by the Government of Japan. The project supported the establishment of micro-scale agri-businesses under the umbrella of two women’s cooperatives. 76 percent of project participants gained new sources of income in the agri-food sector after participating in the project. One of the cooperatives successfully used e-commerce platforms to market their products during the challenging conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic.
