North-West Rural Development Project

This project was the counterpart of the Southwest Rural Development Project, addressing many of the same problems in a geographically and demographically different area. The project focused on small farmers organized into village cooperative societies (300,000 families) and landless men and women organized into landless cooperative labour (80,000 people). It worked to achieve the same three objectives as the Southwest Rural Development Project.
