Resume

Støtte til gennemførelse af udvidet grøn revolution og voksenundervisning i Rugeregere, et område med mange tidligere flygtninge, i det nordvestlige Burundi. Der gennemføres markskole undervisning af 570 bønder (halvdelen kvinder) i tilpassede moderne landbrugsteknikker så de kan øge deres produktion og indkomst for derved at forbedre deres basale livsvilkår. Etablering af bondeorganisationer og udbredelse af kaninhold er også inkluderet. 200 personer (halvdelen kvinder) gennemgår hver et års voksenundervisning for at lære at læse, skrive og regne, en forudsætning for at kunne være aktive samfundsborgere og have fuld gavn af landbrugstræningen.
