Also available in:
No results found.This project aimed to address the challenges of illicit opium cultivation in Pakistan, particularly in the remote areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by promoting alternative livelihoods. FAO and INL adopted a holistic approach to support farmers in the districts of Bajaur, Mohmand, and Khyber, where food insecurity, natural disasters, and limited resources drive the continued cultivation of illicit crops. The initiative focused on diversifying income sources through alternative crop production, improved irrigation, livestock farming, and dairy processing, while incorporating gender and climate-smart agriculture practices. Key activities included capacity building for both male and female farmers, development of local agricultural and livestock extension services, and collaboration with private sector value chain actors to enhance production, processing, and marketing. The project also emphasized community involvement and sustainability, ensuring coordination with local administration and other relevant initiatives to maximize impact and avoid duplication. -
