Some areas have considerable levels o environmental degradation, including parts o the
upland northern districts. Women are oten particularly disadvantaged with higher workloads
and little participation in amily and community decision-making processes. The programme
design incorporates specifc strategies to ensure that women have equitable access to
programme resources and appropriate representation in decision-making processes.

area, with particular emphasis on community-driven development approaches. Programme

develop strong grassroots institutions that manage community resources better; (iii) improve
decentralised development approaches; (iv) improve the socio-economic status o women; (v)
improve village-level inrastructure; and (vi) improve management o natural resources.
