 The MA’AN-APHEDA team participated in the annual workshop for the AMENCA2 partners conducted April 18-21, 2013. The workshop, arranged by AUSAID, was held in Istanbul, Turkey with the participation of all the local and international NGO partners of the AMENCA2 project. Participating NGOs shared their experiences and challenges and explained their implementation approaches across the project’s geographical clusters and output components. AUSAID announced the extension of an additional one year to the original five-year project.  The additional project year will give implementing partners a chance to boost the impact and sustainability level of the project’s objectives at the targeted areas and will give enough timeframe planning for a future phase of the program.

The MA’AN –APHEDA team presented to the audience the results and key achievements of the project in order to highlight the implementation approach and lessons learned. The presentation portrayed the positive impact the intervention has had on equipping beneficiaries with the resources to produce high quality (organic) food and generate income on their own, utilizing environmentally-friendly practices.
