Major Activities

Activity 2

Tanzania program:since 2008, partners for development and local tanzanian partners embarked on a significant income-diversification and food-security project in several tanzanian regions over the next three years. Pfd's jatropha agriculture & nutrition initiative (jani) program will directly benefit 31,250 small-holder farmers in 11 to 13 regions of tanzania.the project's main objectives are to diversify and increase the household incomes of targeted small-holder farmer families through training in the cultivation and processing of jatropha curcas, (commonly referred to as "jatropha") and by creating market linkages with buyers of jatropha seed and oil. Food security and related problems will be addressed through community nutrition education campaigns and technical assistance in household food production. This will entail increasing access to and use of foods with nutritional value, teaching farmers to intercrop appropriate produce depending on soil and climate conditions in the region, and work with families or communities care committees to help them set up small kitchen gardens where they will grow vegetables for home consumption.

Activity 3

Cambodia programs:pfd has been working in cambodia since late 1992, following the paris peace accord and the subsequent return of 365,000 refugees. Initially focusing on clean water supply in kratie province, pfd has built on this early relief work to implement a variety of northern and western provinces responsive to local priorities in public health and household economic security, with all work overarched by building local capacity and skills. To further support local capacity building, in 2008 pfd created partners for development cambodia (pfdc), a cambodian non-governmental organization, affiliated with, but independent from, pfd. Pfd began operations in september 2008 and is focusing on malaria control and prevention with children and teachers at primary schools in kratie, stueng treng, and koh konwhg provinces. Pfdc's work has improved knowledge on malaria for over 26,000 children in grades 3-5 through malaria-focused school health education (she) classroom sessions and extracurricular activities such as community theatre performances.
