Abstract

A cost-sharing model was adopted for the Family Farms for the Future (FF4F) project to increase the potential for long-term sustainability of project outcomes, whereby participating households agreed to invest in the development of their food production. The project participants, Cambodian rural women farmers, were provided with access to a well-established microcredit service provider, as one option to finance their investment, accompanied by basic financial training. However, project findings established that most families relied on their own personal savings.
