Abstract
The project aims to improve the quality of life of at least 9,400 families of small-holder farmers and rural producers (approximately 47,000 men, women and children) through analysing the role of the main actors in farm and non-farm market chains and strengthening their capacities and linkages so that they can respond to and improve the business environment for the poor and disadvantaged. The target areas are four districts in Bangladesh - Dinajpur; Gaibandha; Faridpur and Magura - all of which lie within a river delta plain which regularly floods. The project’s objective is to increase the income and employment opportunities from production and trade in farm and non-farm activities for poor and disadvantaged rural communities in Bangladesh. The specific objective is the enhanced role and performance of community level NGOs in developing viable markets for relevant, affordable business and extension services, and in working to improve the business environment for poor and disadvantaged producers.
