Income Generating Activities

AGRICULTURE STRATEGIES FOR INCOME GENERATION

It is common for families to grow their food and produce a lot of the goods they need (fiber for clothing, wood for building materials, etc.). They find ways to produce food to eat and then the “extras” are sold for cash to purchase non-farm items or bartered for the said items.

Community Organization for Development does not want to limit its activity but wants to implement projects to help people prosper by creating their small businesses. We do so by supporting income generating activities (IGA) of those members of the community who have been saving for at least two years in one of our saving groups.To support the creation of these initiatives, we offer kick-off grants to the most sustainable proposals.

Community Organization for Development (COD) will conduct needs assessment to map out the livelihood activities (both on-farm and off farm), marketing channels, regulations governing cooperatives, potential risks which could affect microfinance activities and mitigation measures. Through this exercise the target villages will be identified in each locality in cooperation with the Local authority, and the existing village development committees. Criteria for selection will include, among others, that the villages have potential for developing small enterprises, access to markets and that they are accessible by road so implementation and technical supervision can be done.
