Food Security

Following a successful implementation of the ECHO Food Security project in Lofa County, in July 2007, in which 3200 farmers benefited, again the European Commission and Humanitarian aid has given another chance to ADRA Liberia to implement phase ll in the same two districts, Foya and Kolahun as target areas.

This project in continuation of phase l, is working with 49 new communities with 50 farming groups and 30 women groups receiving reinforcement farming training skills and benefiting from trainings related to animals rising, treatment and vets kit. A total of 2243 farmers are benefiting from the ongoing Food Security project. These farmers were supplied with farming tools, vegetables seed, rice seeds, goats, sheep, ducks, 10 rice mills and 10 cassava graters among many others to increase their production and improve diet and livelihood. Besides the agricultural activities, the Food Security phase ll is also engage in feeder roads and drainage maintenance and rehabilitation/construction of bridges.
