The general objective is to rapidly impact the daily lives of the target populations in order to contribute to the improvement of their living conditions. Specifically, it will be necessary to restore the continuity of the drinking water service by the realization / rehabilitation of hydraulic infrastructures especially in rural areas.
Research results in the country showed that zero-tillage technology resulted in significant increase in sorghum production (from about 700 kg/ha to 1,650 kg/ha). Research findings also indicate that zero tillage is promising and recommended particularly in mechanized rain-fed agriculture, which is sensitive to climate change and constitutes 35% of the national cultivated land. With the current and future climate change vulnerabilities, the adoption of the technology is expected to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and consequently enhance their adaptation.
