Lesson Learned

Stronger integration between projects and activities: The intervention logic of the MCA Compact, which enlisted the functional literacy sub-activity as an integrated action and support for the different income-generating projects, largely responds to the global objective to fight poverty.

Stronger integration between projects and activities: The intervention logic of the MCA Compact, which enlisted the functional literacy sub-activity as an integrated action and support for the different income-generating projects, largely responds to the global objective to fight poverty. However, implementation of the sub-activity after it was adjusted was not sufficiently harmonized with the sectorial projects planned in the MCA. The enrollees in the functional literacy cycles were often not the people or families benefiting from other sectorial projects of the program, which limits the direct results that can be expected from the functional literacy sub-activity in terms of combatting poverty. Support that is acquired through the Fruit Tree Productivity Project, in order to improve the sources of income of beneficiaries, particularly the creation of projects and the use of new technologies, and encourage this dynamic through appropriate support within the framework of national sectorial plans.
