#Nahda_Makers implements the home gardens activity in Salow and Al-Mawasit districts in Taiz

As part of efforts to support sustainable water resources management and strengthen the resilience of agricultural communities, development interventions continue to improve food security and livelihoods in areas most affected by climate change and economic challenges. In this context, activities of the “The Integrated Water Resources Management to Enhance Resilience of Agriculture and Food Security” were implemented in Salow and Al-Mawasit districts of #Taiz Governorate. The project is funded by #KfW, implemented by #UNDP, in cooperation with #Nahda_Makers, as part of integrated interventions aimed at supporting agricultural communities and promoting resource sustainability.

Within the project’s infrastructure activities, a home gardens initiative was implemented to strengthen household food security, improve nutrition, and diversify income sources. A total of 896 home gardens were distributed, benefiting 896 households across the two districts.

The activity included distributing home garden kits to beneficiaries, who installed and began cultivating the gardens themselves after receiving awareness sessions and practical training on installation methods and the use of drip irrigation systems. Agricultural engineers provide daily field supervision to ensure proper implementation and sustainable production.

The initiative adopts a community empowerment approach, with beneficiaries leading the implementation process themselves, supported by technical guidance from agricultural consultants. This approach strengthens ownership and sustainability. The project targets farmers, women, internally displaced persons (IDPs), water user associations, and local offices of agriculture, irrigation, and water resources, contributing to building local capacity and enhancing resilience to environmental and economic challenges.

These interventions form part of broader efforts to strengthen agricultural resilience and promote the efficient use of water resources, thereby supporting food security and sustainable development.
