| Summary: | The Livelihood Assistance Fund (LAF) is a major intervention of the Second Cordillera Highland Agriculture Resource Management (CHARMP2) project – a seven-year initiative of the Philippines Department of Agriculture. After 7 years of implementation, CHARMP2 was extended for one year and upscaled for two more years.
LAF provides start-up capital to farmer groups to enable them to
initiate group businesses. After LAF had been running for two years
the team planned to see if the Livelihood Interest Groups (LIGs) had
had valuable experiences. Respondents were able to identify many
strengths and weaknesses, demonstrating that LIGs were able to
generate considerable experience in implementing their LAF-funded
group businesses, and that these experiences could be used in
upscaling CHARMP2 and similar livelihood projects. |
