Project Synopsis

Building on the successes of the predecessor program, Strengthening Household Ability to Respond to Development Opportunities (SHOUHARDO) Ill Plus will work with program participants to pursue diversified sources of income, support inclusive and sustainable agricultural-led growth, enhance access to markets, especially for women and girls, and improve access to financial services for PEP participants. This will be done by continuously engaging and linking the program-facilitated Local Service Providers (LSP) with the government and private sector, as well as promoting increased consumption of nutritious foods and micro-nutrients for children under five years of age, pregnant and lactating women, and adolescent girls.Across these result areas, SHOUHARDO Ill Plus will build upon its integration approach to programming by prioritizing private sector engagement, gender, and governance. Because the design of the SHOUHARDO Ill Plus program builds upon the achievements and progress of SHOUHARDO 111, several Partner Non-Government Organization (PNGO) partnerships will be maintained within the new program.
