Ibo Island, 14 March 2003 - Princess Zahra reviewed a series of successful beginnings to innovative development initiatives launched by the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), including projects in some of the country's poorest districts. From a low-cost fish-processing centre conceived and managed by women on Ibo Island, to groundnut seed multiplication, sesame and sunflower oil pressing, chicken farming and livestock production in villages along the north coast, the AKDN's Coastal Rural Support Programme (CRSP) has found ways to stimulate entrepreneurship in ways that simultaneously speed income growth, develop skills and improve the resource base.
