 Report - Monthly Report Diakonie Emergency Aid (DEA)

 Report date: 31.03.1999

Agricultural Extension Programme

The focus of the extension activities in April was on completing need assessment surveys with IDPs and local farmer groups in Agjabedi and Beylagan. The survey results of all groups were analyzed and discussed. The results can be summarized as follows. Extension activities successfully increased the knowledge of beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries on gardening and the optimal way of using Ghs. Produced commodities contributed in part to secure food needs and generate income. Remaining production problems concern plant protection (control of mole-cricket, other insects and parasitic weeds), the management of saline soils, and in several cases the accessibility to water. Future objectives include obtaining land, establish a farming enterprise, receive credit to purchase the necessary farm inputs (seeds, equipment, labor) and get guidance and directions on cropping, and marketing. There is a rapidly growing demand for information on farming activities (agriculture and livestock rearing) via agricultural extension delivery services, and there is much demand for the organization of input delivery and marketing of surplus production.

In addition to these surveys, regular extension activities continued. Table 1 summarizes the information of the extension activities during April 1999:

Principal topics discussed during regular extension work were: land preparation for transplanting juvenile plants from the Ghs into the open gardens, cropping of tomatoes and cucumbers in Ghs, and storage of the plastic sheeting after taking it off from the greenhouse. For the latter topic, extension aid material developed by one DEA field staff was helpful. Copies of this extension aid material have been distributed to groups.

Training of DEA staff continued.

1.2 Distribution of Greenhouses to IDP Families

Since March 1999, the distribution of Ghs has been completed. A detailed list on the number and locations of Ghs distributed are joint in the annex.
