This report summarises the progress made during 2005-2006 and several developments during the implementation of the project.
Some of it was unplanned like when farmers in Kwalei village contributed Tsh. 700,000 (USD 700) for purchasing improved livestock. Another unplanned development was when the SACCOS which the AHI in Lushoto had facilitated to form was granted audience with a local bank CRDB in Tanga for a working agreement in which the bank agreed to extend loans to its members. This SACCOS won the prestigious award of being the best in Lushoto for year 2006.
The AHI team also managed to host a successful Watershed course that brought people from the AHI region and beyond. This event was headed by the District Commissioner of Lushoto and built a strong foundation for recognition by policy leaders in the District.
This progress report has been divided along the three themes that were implemented in order to make easy reading and focus on theme matters. So far the implementation has been very successful.
