A. Agriculture / Livestock<br />

This component will address the needs of the rural population working in agriculture in order<br />

to increase both their economic security and their income. The relevant activities in this field<br />

will be designed to support Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, farmer associations,<br />

cooperatives and farmers and other relevant institutions. This will have the advantage of not<br />

only improving the base for subsistence farming, but also of diversifying income generating<br />

activities. In this field, training to farmers and extension staff of Ministry of Agriculture and<br />

Rural Affairs will be provided. Training packages with supplies provided to farmers will help<br />

them make start-ups regarding new income generating activities or to improve their ongoing<br />

agricultural activities.<br />

Provisions of supplies and materials will be dependent on some conditions such as<br />

cooperation in the dissemination activities and preliminary training.<br />

The training to farmers and to extension staff of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs<br />

will frequently go hand in hand. Indicatively, training packages, taking priorities, needs and<br />

potentials of the regions into consideration will cover:<br />

Eligible activities in this component will include small-scale local development initiatives<br />
