In Tajikistan, the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) has been working with its partners (the SAROB cooperative, ACTED, Camp Kuhiston and the Mountain Societies Development Support Programme) to implement a European Union-funded programme designed to help farmers improve their yields. The programme, Improving Livelihoods and Food Security through Sustainable Natural Resource Management, has supported 15 farmers to establish a local Agriculture Producer Group. Since June 2016, the programme has worked directly with over 800 farmers and activities have also extended to more than 10,000 beneficiaries who have improved their knowledge of agricultural land use technologies and become participants in the potato revolving fund.
