Over a four-province area, it targeted smallholders, equipment manufacturers, input producers and suppliers, transporters, buyers of agricultural products, processors, micro-credit facilities, other SMEs and agribusinesses. The project increased smallholder income by $300 per year. The SMC project utilized the Poverty Reduction through Irrigation and Smallholder Markets (PRISM) approach to achieve objectives and to evaluate the outcomes of the project. Farmers reiterated that working in groups made better use of resources, and helped smallholders achieve greater bargaining power. Training in leadership increased the capacity of groups to tackle developmental challenges.1 digital file (56 p. : ill.)application/pdfenCOST BENEFIT ANALYSISAGRICULTURAL INVESTMENTCROP MANAGEMENTSMALLHOLDERSACCESS TO MARKETSINCOME GENERATIONPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONVALUE CHAINSWATER CONSUMPTIONFARMER ASSOCIATIONSIRRIGATIONLIVELIHOODSSOUTH OF SAHARAZAMBIAIDRC-Related Report
