6 Project Implementation Approach
The Project was adopted four major community development principles These four ‘pillars’ are summarised as follows:  1- A community participation approach, with priority being given to effectively involve disadvantaged community members (i.e., poor small farmers, landless and youth ) in the decision making process for all Project supported activities; 2-The participation of Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) to mobilize and select beneficiaries, and to plan and manage the Project supported activities; 3-Reinforcing the capacity of local institutions; and 4-Ensuring the active participation of women in Project supported activities through reinforcing their activities and their role in the community. .

7 Community Development and capacity BUILDING
The Project’s strategy as community participation approach, focused on those disadvantaged community members (i.e., poor small farmers, landless, and youth), so as to increase:  A-their role in identifying their own needs and priorities, the Project’s activities, and planning and managing development activities; and B-farmer’s sense of ownership and responsibility for infrastructure, and thereby enhance the sustainability of the development effort. The participatory planning or community participation is characterized by specific methodology, tools and operational terms. The Community Action Plan (CAP) is considered as the turning point in participatory methodology and is developed by a specialized project team through participatory planning processes .

8 Community Action Plan preparation steps
In the elaboration of CAPs there is four major steps : preparatory activities; participatory diagnosis; participatory planning and CAP and AWP elaboration; and implementation and monitoring.

9 Preparatory Activities
In order to prepare appropriate conditions at the community or village level, to allow for the population to play there expected role. The activities under the first step are:  1- preliminary identification of the concerned community (e.g., one village or more, group of scattered houses) and collection of survey data (e.g., population, farm lands, natural resources, productions); 2- the project area were divided to 55 villages and clustered villages as 2 proirties ( very poor & poor ) and(near to poor villages) .

10 3-information provided to the local leaders and the communities on the Project’s objectives and approach, This action has been done in one or more general meetings in the village (i.e., awareness campaigns) 4-identification/assessment of local organizations that as project stakeholders 5-assistance provided to the population to ellect ‘Local Community Committee’ (LCC) representing the existing cooperatives and charitable societies, and other informal interest groups, including women and youth

11 Participatory Diagnosis
* During the second step, the Project team collects and reviews the technical, social and economic data *Two types of diagnosis was conducted, one of them at the level of the village as a whole and the other at the level of LCC during this step they identify constraints, needs and proposed activities at the village level with the help of the project staff . . النهج التشاركي

12 Participatory Planning and CAPs elaboration
Based on the results of the Participatory Diagnosis, particularly the priority classification, the Project staff and interest group representatives, under the umbrella of the LCC , jointly identify there needs the actions and investments over a 3-year period. The activities under the Step 3 include: -3 years action plan activities include, prospective beneficiaries and stakeholders financial costs. - Adoption of an action plan by community groups in its final form which prepared by the communities LCC & project staff.

13 -Elaboration of an AWP&B for PY1 based on CAP proposals and priorities.
After the community’s adoption and validation of the AWP by the LCC, the results presented to Project management for confirmation. This formalization provides ownership of the AWP, and formalises the relationship, which is intended to enhance each party’s compliance with their respective obligations. The villages’ programmes would be collected for elaboration in the Project’s Annual Work Plan and Budget (AWPB).

14 Implementation and Monitoring
- Implementation based on AWP and follow-up. preparatory and support activities include: -Information/dispatching of CAPs to the CSCs and institutions in charge of implementation. - Support to the community to allow them to achieve the scheduled actions in the best conditions. - Coordination between the various parties involved in the implementation. - Follow-up on implementation progress against CAPs and AWPs; and elaboration of quarterly and annual progress reports in a context of the project continuous follow-up and evaluation.

15 -Regular meetings with local committees to verify the implementation and follow-up developments in the targeted villages. -During this phase adjusted plans and add any new activities and to exclude any activity can not be achieved for reasons - Review the CAPs after three years to measure the progress
