NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT

A holistic program to address the overall objective to reduce the vulnerability of targeted families and their children to soaring food prices and food insecurity in Mid Western Nepal. In the target area, the combination of soaring food prices and the world economic downturn which has resulted in food shortages, skipping meals, consumption of seed stocks, taking children out of school to work, and an increased level of out migration of male household members to find food and income, leaving at home families stressed and undernourished. The program targets selected Village Development Committees (VDCs) in five most affected districts covering mountain, mid-hills, and Terai (plains) to respond to the range of climatic and socio-economic conditions under which food insecure households (HH) live.

Likewise, the specific objective is to ensure an increase in food production and alternative sources of income and improved nutrition for children and their families for the future. To achieve the objective, CEAPRED will play major role in the “Seed Sub-sector development through improvement of seed production and storage” in all districts.

However the objective of CEAPRED in this project is to develop Seed Sub sector through improvement of seed production and storage.
